5.O REVIEW OF ZONING/PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT 5.1 A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) is a zoning district which may include single or mixed uses on one or more lots or parcels, and is intended to be used in unique situations to create a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to the use of the land subject to the PUD procedures, standards, and regulations contained in the City Code. 5.2 The end result of xEZONiNG a property to PUD is the creation of a customized zoning district (i.e., a PUD Agreement) that regulates the use and development of a specific subject property in the same way that standard zoning districts regulate other properties. Aspects of such a development may deviate from the requirements of a standard zoning district, but they must be approved by the City Council and specified in the PUD Agreement in order to ensure that the overall development is in keeping with general guidance of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The PUD Agreement, if approved in the FINAL phase of the PUD review process, will comprise the development parameters on which the xEZONiNG is based. 5.3 In the GENExAL CoNCEPT phase, a preliminary development proposal is formally presented in a public hearing to the Planning Commission for consideration. As the name indicates, the GENExAL coNCEPT of a development is considered in this first phase; a proposal may lack significant detail, but the Planning Commission and City Council have the opportunity to help guide the development to ensure that it advances the land use goals and policies expressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If a development is approved in concept, the applicant then refines all of the technical plans to verify that the approved concept is feasible in reality and then submits those plans for final approval by the City Council. 5.4 Secause a PUD is intended to provide flexibility with respect to standard zoning requirements on a property, it's useful to identify where the proposed PUD district would differ from the standards of established zoning districts; the following table illustrates the proposed differences: Existin Zonin Standards Pro osed Conditions R-1 zonin on 1126 Sandhurst Drive Parkin setback from side ro ert line: 5 ft. 0 ft. from internallot line Maximum im ervious covera e: 30% 64% (storm water runoff e uivalent to 0%) B-3 zonin on 2167 Lexin ton Avenue Parkin setback from Sandhurst Drive ROW: 15 ft. Varies from 0 ft. to 6 ft. Parkin setback from Lexin ton Avenue ROW: 15 ft. 10 ft. Parkin setback from internal side ro ert line: 5 ft. 0 ft. from internal lot line Parkin setback from side ro ert line: 5 ft. 10 ft. from auto arts ro er Buildin setback from Coun Road B ROW: 30 ft. 7 ft. Buildin setback from Lexin ton Avenue ROW: 30 ft. 10 ft. and 4 ft. The most significant of the above deviations from the standard zoning requirements are related to the proposed location of the building adjacent to County Road S(northern portion) and Lexington Avenue and the northeast portion of the parking lot. All other typical zoning requirements (e.g., setbacks, number and size of parking spaces, building height, etc.) not identified in the preceding table are met by the proposed redevelopment.
