PUD must have a rational basis related to the impacts of the development. While each PUD <br />process is unique, it is a common processed used by many cities. The PUD process cannot <br />be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zone. <br />If a property is subdivided into multiple properties during the PUD process, it is still often <br />viewed as one continuous development. The development as a whole would be expected to <br />meet the landscaping, stormwater, and other similar requirements. For example, one <br />property in the PUD may have 90 percent building coverage; however, the development as a <br />whole does not exceed 80 percent building coverage to maintain conformance with the <br />underlying zone. In order to maintain shared amenities such as landscaping and stormwater <br />ponds, the development is required to create a legal entity to manage and maintain the shared <br />amenities. <br />The Planned Unit Development (PUD) process is typically at least a two step process. The <br />first step is the Master PUD, which is a detailed concept plan for the entire development <br />proposal, often outlining individual phases for development over a specified period of time. <br />The second step is the Final PUD for each phase, which is a more detailed review as each <br />development phase moves forward. During the Master PUD stage, the City works with the <br />applicant to set an overall design framework or standard for a proposed development. These <br />standards are then written into a development agreement which generally includes the design <br />standards, a list of conditions, the size of the development, and what, if any, deviations from <br />the underlying zoning district will be permitted. Once the Master PUD is approved, the <br />applicant then creates a development that conforms to the development agreement for each <br />subsequent Final PUD phase. The level of detail is guided by the type and scale of the <br />development as well as the guidance or flexibility within the Zoning Code. <br />This proposal technically includes four requests: <br />1. Master Planned Unit Development for Phases 1-3 of the Arden Plaza Redevelopment <br />2. Final Planned Unit Development for Phase I of the Arden Plaza Redevelopment <br />3. Preliminary Plat <br />4. Final Plat <br />Buildings 2 and 4 would return to the Planning Commission and City Council prior to <br />development for the Final PUD review for those properties. <br />3.
