Site Data: <br />Future Land Use Plan: Mixed Business <br />Existing Land Use: Medical Clinic <br />Zoning: I-FLEX District (3930 Northwoods Dr.) & B-3 – Service Business District (3928 <br />Northwoods Dr.) <br />Lot Size: 5.27 acres (229,533 square feet) <br />Topography: Relatively flat with slight slope up in northwest corner. There is an existing stormwater <br />pond located at the southeast corner of the site. <br /> <br /> <br />Plan Evaluation <br /> <br />The two lots within the PUD are within different zoning districts: 3930 Northwoods Drive is <br />zoned I-Flex District and 3928 Northwoods Drive is zoned B-3 District. For the purpose of the <br />plan evaluation, the development plans were analyzed based on the I-Flex District requirements <br />since the existing building and proposed addition, and most of the site improvements are located <br />on 3930 Northwoods Drive. Any areas where flexibility is needed through the PUD process have <br />been identified. <br /> <br />1. Chapter 13, Zoning Code Review <br /> <br />Section 1320 – District Provisions <br /> <br />A. Lot Size, Building Coverage, and Landscaping – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />The minimum lot size in the I-Flex District is 24,000 square feet. The combined area of the two <br />lots within the PUD is 229,533 square feet. No more than 40 percent of the total lot area may be <br />covered by structures. In this case, with the addition the building would have a footprint of <br />35,068 square feet or approximately 15.3 percent of the total site area. <br /> <br />The Zoning Code requires properties in the I-Flex District to maintain a minimum landscaped lot <br />area of 25 percent. Landscape lot area is defined as all plantings, including trees, grass, and <br />shrubs, as well as water features. The proposal would reduce landscape coverage to 94,995 <br />square feet or 41.4 percent of the total site area. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Proposed PUD <br />(Sq.
