<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for July 6, 2016 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-016 - Land O'Lakes - Final PUD Phase 2\Memos_Reports_16-016 <br />Page 3 of 15 <br />submitted for the Final PUD for Phase 2. The submitted plan set includes the site plan, tree <br />preservation & landscaping plan, circulation plan, parking plan, photometric plan, grading plan, <br />utility plans, and proposed building elevations. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Process: <br /> <br />The Planned Unit Development process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for <br />development that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD <br />may make exceptions to setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building <br />materials, or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning <br />regulations and improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City <br />to negotiate certain aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a <br />rational basis related to the expected impact of the development. A PUD cannot be used to <br />permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district. <br /> <br />The first step in the PUD process is the Master PUD, which is a detailed concept plan for the <br />entire development proposal, often outlining individual phases for development over a specified <br />period of time. The second step is the Final PUD for each phase, which is a more detailed <br />review as each development phase moves forward. During the Master PUD stage, the City <br />works with the applicant to set an overall design framework or standard for a proposed <br />development. These standards are then written into a development agreement which generally <br />includes the design standards, a list of conditions, the size of the development, and what, if any, <br />deviations from the underlying zoning district will be permitted. Once the Master PUD is <br />approved, the applicant then creates a development that conforms to the development agreement <br />for each subsequent Final PUD phase. The level of detail is guided by the type and scale of the <br />development as well as the guidance or flexibility within the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />3.
