<br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for June 5, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-001 Brausen – Final PUD\Memos Reports <br />Page 3 of 11 <br />District. Modifications to these requirements may be granted by the City without a variance <br />through the PUD process. <br /> <br />The PUD process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for development that an underlying <br />zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may make exceptions to setbacks, <br />lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building materials, or landscaping requirements. It is <br />intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the overall design of a <br />project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development, <br />any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the expected impact of <br />the development. <br /> <br />1.
