(e) Exterior Materials — flexibiliry on exterior materials to allow far unique architectural expression (� Density — up to a 10% increase in density if the PUD provides substantially more site amenities and achieves more comprehensive plan goals than could be achieved in a conventional development for the applicable land use zone. (g) �Other � the Ciry Council reserves the right to consider other modificarions to underlying � zoning requirements not listed above provided such changes are supportable under the PUD review criteria listed in Section (A)(8) (8) iPUD Review Criteriai The following findings sl�all be made by the Ciry Council priar to approval of a new or amended PUD overlay district: (a) The quality of the building and site design proposed by the PUD will substantially enhance aesthetics of the site and impleinent relevant goals and policies of the comprehensive plan; (b) The design creates a tu�ified environment within the project boundaries by ensuring architectural comparibility of all structures, efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulaiion, aesthetically pleasing landscape and site features, and efficient use of utilities. (c) The design achieves maximum compatibility with surrounding land uses, both existing and anticipated, and sl�all minimize the potential adverse impacts tl�at the PUD and surrounding land uses may have on one another. (d) The design takes into consideration proposed modification of underlying zoning requirements, and provides appropriate solutions Yo eliminate adverse iinpacts that proposed modi6cations may impose on surrounding lands. (e) If the proposed PUD involves construction over two or more phases, the applicant has demonstrated that each phase is capable of being a stand-alone development independent of other phases. (fl IAt least one or more of the following specific goals will be achieved by the proposed PUI�: Page 4 of 13 % Comment [BGA14]: As a final catch-all in fhe list of flexibilities, we are proposing an 'bther" category if the applicant can show why the area of flexibility is in-line with the intent of the PUD ordinance. Despite our best efforts, we cannot always envision what the next big thing might be, and this criYeria could leave the door open for something special that might othe�-wise be put on hold waiting for a zoning code amendment. Comment [BGA15]: Working with City Staff, Council and the Planning Commission on this list will be a�itical as this section seSs up the test for when a PUD should be approved and when a PUD should be denied. Include too many criteria, and PUDs can become too hard to approve. Include too few cnteria, and PUDs will not produce the desired results. This is really the section where we ensure the PUD will noC be used as a variance work around. In order to satisfy these review criteria, a development will have to be of top quality thereby deserving the flexibility allowed in the previous section. For this initial draft, we've elected to suggest an initial framework of goals that really all PUDs should achieve: high qualiry buildings and aesthetics, blending in with peripheral developmentincluding minimization o�f conflicts, all modificatioos to underlyi�g zoning must Ue addressed for adverse impacts, and phases must be able to stand alone. Comment [BGA16]: Subsection (� then calls for at least one of the key featw es the City is seeking in its PUDs as defermined at our kick off ineeting: sustainability improvements, improved storm water management, enhanced bufPers, and/or structured parking. This list can easily be amended to add more options should the City desire such, and the minimum number of features from this list needed to qualify for a PUD could Ue increased (minimum of two?).
