April 6, 2021 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 10 RE: Belleville Landing Apartments – Land Use Plan Amendment, Rezoning, PUD/CUP, Site Plan Review Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is processed as a CUP in the Centerville Zoning Code. The criteria for considering a PUD are included on the following page. Flexibility on zoning standards can be given in exchange for other benefits. The Belleville Landing plan is laid out simply – one building of 103 units in three floors above a st Avenue. If the Land Use Plan is parking below,a surface parking lot, with site access off 21 amended as requested above, the development would be consistent with the comprehensive plan, it would be compatible with surrounding land uses, it does not pose a risk to natural amenities, and it would not be a burden on parks, schools, streets or other public facilities. A CUP must meet the criteria in Section 156.320 of the Zoning Code – basically that the use is necessary and desirable; that it will not adversely impact the neighborhood; and that it is designed to allow development of neighboring property. The one area of flexibility that is requested in the PUD is the height of the building – it is 48.5 ft in height vs. the 35 ft height limit in the Code, or 13.5 ft more. Section 156.121 Height addresses this: (B)Excess height on a building. Upon the securing of a conditional use permit any building may be erected to a height exceeding that specified for the respective district, provided the front, rear and side yards shall be increased one foot for each one foot by which the building exceeds the height limit established for that district. The building will be three stories of apartments above one level of parking. This is typical of apartment development and not unreasonable. The building meets the required increased setbacks as follows: SetbackStandard Add 13.5’ Provided Front 30 43.5 45.2 Side (S) 10 23.5 25.3 Side (N) 10 23.5 42.9 Rear 25 38.5 107.5 Taken together, with the height and setback considerations and the overall use and layout of the site, the proposal meets the criteria for approving a CUP for a PUD.
