Attachment A City of Roseville 2-3-16 Page 3 Protection against impacts to the surrounding properties are built into the review process to ensure that such changes are appropriate. (G) Areas of Flexibility – The suggested areas of flexibility within this draft were taken directly from the feedback received at the project kick off meeting: Building Placement, Trees & Landscaping Requirements, Open Spaces, Parking Standards, Exterior Materials, and Density. We are also suggesting a catch-all category of “other” in the event an applicant can show why an unlisted 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 criteria could leave the door open for something special that might otherwise be put on hold if a zoning amendment were necessary. (H) PUD Review Criteria – This section sets 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 hard to approve. Include too few criteria, and PUDs will not produce the desired results. We believe we have struck a proper balance that will both net a good development, and will ensure the PUD is not used as a variance work around. In order to satisfy these review criteria, a development will have to be of top quality and prove it is deserving of the flexibility discussed in the previous subsection. Per the framework of we’ve created, all PUDs will need to achieve the following goals: high quality buildings and aesthetics, blending in with peripheral development including minimization of conflicts, all modifications to underlying zoning must be addressed for adverse impacts, and phases must be able to stand alone. Beyond that, we are requiring that at least one of the city’s specific goals are also achieved: sustainability improvements, improved storm water management, enhanced buffering, or structured parking. (I) PUD Review Procedures – the review procedures are fairly repetitive, but can be summarized by the following steps: 1) Initial Developer Open House – this will be the public’s first notice of the potential development, and will allow the applicant to work with the neighbors from the outset of the project. 2) PUD Sketch Plan – feedback from the open house and initial plans are shared with the City Council for general feedback and direction. Staff will identify plan sets that were deemed unnecessary to review the application so
