<br />It is the Community Development staff's opinion that it is appropriate to consider such <br />parking setback reductions because the city's current standards may be outdated, may <br />create over priced/underutilized industrial land, and do not reflect the type of <br />development the City is attempting to promote in its industrial areas. The City is <br />promoting a business park type development rather than heavier industrial type <br />development in a number of its industrial areas. It may be appropriate to have parking <br />setbacks which are consistent with business zoning districts. The City has also adopted <br />design standards since the industrial parking setback standards were adopted. This helps <br />to reduce the impact of the reduced setback. <br /> <br />Suggested Council Action: <br /> <br />1) Motion to determine that a PUD is not necessary in this case because the revisions which <br />Ryan Companies has made to their plans eliminates the need for variances. The Council <br />hereby accepts Ryan's withdrawal of a PUD and/or variance request. <br /> <br />2) Motion to direct staff to study reduction of parking setback standards in industrial zoning <br />districts and prepare an draft ordinance amendment for Planning Commission and City <br />Council consideration in August. Any reduction in parking setback should be conditioned <br />on the provision of additional berming, screening, and landscaping. <br /> <br />3) Motion to direct staff to prepare a Master PUD Plan for all of Twin Lakes after the BRW <br />transportation and ponding studies are complete. <br /> <br />Staff Report by: Rick Jopke <br /> <br />3 <br />
