Attachment A City of Roseville 12-7-15 Page 2 This draft is organized as follows: (A) Purpose and Intent — This is the section that tells potential applicants what the City wishes to achieve through the PUD process, and sets the stage for future decision making on what is an acceptable PUD. We have identified a number of potential over-arching goals that we are seeking feedback on at this time. (B) Initiation of Proceedings — Rather than reinvent the wheel, we are simply following standard language found throughout the Roseville ordinance to explain how the PUD process can be initiated. (C) Reflection on the Official Zoning Map — As recommended, we have crafted the language in this section to adopt PUD's via an overlay district rather than as a stand-alone zoning district. This ensures that underlying zoning standards will still be applicable unless specifically amended by the overlay district. Approaching PUDs this way ensures that the City will be protected if any details are missed during the development review process. (D) Permitted Locations for PUD rezoning — As requested, PUDs would be allowed for all types of development in all districts under this draft language. (E) PUD Qualifications — We are recommending that any land proposed to develop as a PUD be under single ownership or under control of a corporation, partnership or other legal entity that can fulfill the obligations of the PUD process. Likewise, we are recommending that PUDs be a minimum of two (2) acres in size unless it can be demonstrated that a project of superior design can be achieved or that greater compliance with the comprehensive plan goals and policies can be attained through use of the PUD process on a smaller parcel. (F) Permitted Uses within a PUD — In this section, we restrict uses to those that are allowed by underlying zoning, but leave the door open for new uses if the Community Development Department deems that such a new use is "substantially similar" to an allowed use. This ensures that new industries seeking a home in Roseville could potentially do so via PUD even if their specific use isn't defined in code. Also addressed is the specialization of uses within a PUD. Whereas subdivision (a) states that uses will be limited to those allowed by underlying zoning, subdivision (b) grants the City flexibility to tailor use restrictions to the PUD site and surroundings. For example, current Roseville codes state that "no commercial transactions" can occur at a mini-storage facility. This provision could potentially allow someone to propose a mini-storage facility that includes a management office, sale of boxes and moving equipment, etc. The "use" hasn't changed, but the general regulations governing the use were tailored specifically for the site. Protection against impacts to the surrounding properties are built into the review process to ensure that such changes are appropriate.
