<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for August 3, 2016 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-019 - Holiday Station 1920 Hwy 96 - PUD and CUP Amendment\Memos_Reports_16- <br />019 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />The proposed addition would have minimal impact on the existing site operations and would not <br />modify traffic patterns or parking areas. The addition has been designed to have a consistent <br />appearance with the existing principal structure on the property. <br /> <br />The applicant has provided a project narrative (Attachment A) and a complete plan set, including <br />a site plan, building plans, and lighting plan (Attachment C). <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 /> <br />3.
