' ' Page 2 Memo re: New Near North Neighborhood Rezoning and PUD January 14, 2002 various types: single family, townhouses and multi-family dwellings. All of these densities are allowed under the R-6 zoning. In addition, a Planned Unit Development is being filed for that portion of the conservation area east of Warren Street. The City's PUD ordinance requires a site plan that shows the final development of the land within the PUD. As noted above, Goody Clancy is in the process of creating this plan. The final plan will include land uses, unit mix, lot sizes, street standards, housing types, landscaping, etc. The plan will include a"mixed use area"that will be the heart of the neighborhood. This area will have commercial uses as well as residential uses (such as apartments above store fronts). Since the R-6 zoning only allows residential uses, a PUD is required to allow for mixed uses. The PUD also allows the imposing of standards to insure that the full neighborhood development is of the highest quality. The PUD submitted breaks with the norm in that a final site plan is not yet available. However, in order to allow for the adoption of a PUD for the area prior to the tax credit deadline, staff proposes adoption of a site plan showing the current conditions of the area and a set of standards for its ultimate development. Prior to development of any portion of the area, however, the PUD must be amended to reflect a final site plan. The"New Near North Neighborhood PUD Development Guidelines"contain several pages of requirements for the PUD. Covered are permitted uses, development standards such as setbacks, etc., and design standards for the buildings and the environment. These requirements are consistent with the Goody, Clancy Concept 5 proposals and will provide guidelines for the final development of the plans. The Development Guidelines note that both a final site plan and a "pattern book"of building types will be developed and approved prior to anv buildin�takin� place within the nei�hborhood. Once these are completed, they will be incorporated into the PUD via an amendment process. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no objectors at the Plan Commission meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The DHA, Goody, Clancy and Associates, and Eastlake have all contributed to the development of these guidelines. STAFF REFERENCE: Please contact Planning Manager Steven J.
