Comprehensive Plan Amendment: <br />An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the Planning <br />Commission following a public hearing, adoption of a resolution by the City Council, and review <br />and approval by the Metropolitan Council. The City has submitted its 2040 Com prehensive Plan <br />update to the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council will not consider any amendments <br />to the Comprehensive Plan until the 2040 Plan is approved. <br /> <br />The City can proceed with the amendment, but must wait to submit it to the Metropolitan Council <br />for final approval, likely later this summer. This delay does not affect the PUD process. <br /> <br />2. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Process: <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 materials, <br />or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and <br />improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain <br />aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related <br />to the 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, structure coverage, and other <br />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 maintain <br />conformance with the underlying zoning district. <br /> <br />The PUD development process is comprised of multiple steps. The first step is the Master PUD, <br />which is a detailed concept plan for the entire development outlining the individual phases over a <br />period of time. The City also works with the developer during this stage to set a design framework <br />for the development. These standards are written into a development agreement, which generally
