Attachment D EJ6,2015CCMM XTRACT OF THE ULYITYOUNCIL EETING INUTES Planned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance Update Similar to the presentation for tree preservation, Mr. Gozola outlined previous discussions as listed in Attachment B dated July 6, 2015; defined what PUD's were, their commonalities and variables by community, various approaches, and what they should look link in Roseville. Mr. Gozola strongly recommended the City Council's consideration of using an overlay district concept, and provided his rationale in making that recommendation based on most of the zoning regulations already in place or available for specific consideration in a PUD and providing an important safeguard; better understanding by the public in understanding the rezoning concept through use of a PUD; and special regulations available in code and accessible to all. Mr. Gozola further opined that by controlling things via zoning, it provided the City Council with greater authority to make changes in the future rather than using the Conditional Use approach for a one-time situation and setting conditions that hopefully didn't miss any important issue during that process. Mr. Gozola advised that the PUD provided the City the ability to zone by right versus discretionary zoning; and provided more assurance and specificity for a developer that a good end product would be achieved. Mr. Gozola reviewed other considerations, such as where to allow PUD's; how and why to allow them; and the main goals desired by the City in using PUD's and specific benefits to focus on. Mr. Gozola sought input on the current background and project understanding shown on pages 2 - 4 of Attachment B. Councilmember Willmus, with concurrence by Mayor Roe, stated he would not agree with a PUD only being tied to a subdivision process only; but would look at applicability beyond just subdivisions. Councilmember Willmus stated that Mr. Gozolas' presentation slides #25 and #26 concisely stated his thoughts on PUD's. Councilmember McGehee stated there should be no limit on where a PUD should be; advised that she was not a fan of Conditional Use permits; and liked the sustainability and storm water management aspects; and supported structured parking as incentives. To add to what was already stated, Mayor Roe opined that the PUD process should not be unrestricted as to what could be done, but more specific as to the limits and what can happen. Mayor Roe stated he was not supportive of a PUD approval based on who was sitting at the City Council dais rather than having a consistent policy for a developer to follow versus doing whatever they wanted to do. Mayor Roe spoke in support of standards and parameters that outlived a sitting City Council to avoid potential arbitrary issues or concerns. Mayor Roe opined that a perceived problem with the old PUD's was that basically anything could be proposed with majority support of the City Council. Councilmember McGehee stated her biggest concern with the old PUD was the lack of protection for underlying zoning as implemented and without a public engagement piece.
