. , Master and Final PUD .. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) provides a flexible process to develop land in a more creative manner that is more responsive to land cover, adjacent uses, and City requirements. In a PUD, the internal setbacks, internal lot sizes, layout, design, signage, building materials, and other aspects of the development can be adjusted from the normal zoning requirements. However, the development cannot exceed the impervious coverage limits or density limits. The applicant has requested signage that somewhat deviates from the Sign Code in terms of distribution and use of a building material that is not specifically included in the approved Neighborhood Business (NB) District building materials list. To help offset these deviations, the applicant has also proposed higher quality building materials and a landscaping plan with caliper inches of trees exceeding the requirements. Preliminary Plat The preliminary plat proposal would ereate 24 lots; one for each office condominium aJld one common lot for the development The common lot, Lot 24, would contain all of the parking, green spaces, access drives, trash enclosures, wetlands, storm water facilities, and most of the landscaping. The common area would bc managed by an association of the office condominium owncrs and would be responsible for all maintenance. Lots I through 23 would include the office condominium uses and a ten foot clear space around the exterior walls. . A pedestrian way in the middle of the property would need to be vacated and an approximately 20-foot wide strip ofland along the west side of the property would be conveyed to thc City for the existing City traiL The Preliminary Plat review section (after the Plan Review Comments) will cover items not discussed in the PUD review process. As noted above, preliminary plat is contingent upon approval of the PUD. Once a preliminary plat is approved, no other eonditions related to the design ofthc plat can be imposed.
