<br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for May 3, 2017 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-011 - 3930 Northwoods Drive - Master and Final <br />PUD\Memos_Reports_17-011 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 11 <br />or Conditional Use Permit process. The site is comprised of two lots, 3930 and 3928 Northwoods <br />Drive, but it functions as one continuous development. The existing medical clinic and most of <br />the parking stalls that serve the building are located on 3930 Northwoods Drive. A small portion <br />of the parking area and a regional stormwater pond are located on the 3928 Northwoods Drive <br />parcel. The proposed PUD would cover both lots. <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, or landscaping <br />requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the <br />overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of <br />the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the <br />expected impact of the development. A PUD cannot be used to permit uses that would not <br />otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district. <br /> <br />If a PUD is comprised of multiple lots, it is often treated as one continuous development. The <br />development as a whole would be expected to meet the landscaping and structure coverage, and <br />other similar requirements. For example, one property in the PUD may have 60 percent building <br />coverage, but the development as a whole may not exceed 50 percent building coverage to <br />maintain conformance with the underlying zoning district. <br /> <br />The PUD development process is often comprised of multiple steps. The first step is the Master <br />PUD, which is a detailed concept plan for the entire development outlining the individual phases <br />over a period of time. A Final PUD proposal is then submitted prior to the development of each <br />phase of the project. In this case, The Master and Final PUD are being applied for concurrently <br />for the proposed addition. There are no future development phases proposed at this time. <br /> <br />3.
