Title
Consider public testimony regarding and an ordinance approving Amendment No. 2 to the PUD (Planned Unit Development) No. 40 zoning district known as the Kenney Fort PUD. (First Reading)*
Body
PUD 40 consists of 83 acres of land divided into four development parcels. The amendment allows for single family detached units on a common lot, replacing cluster housing as a residential land use. In addition, the development regulations for the remainder of the site are updated, largely bringing them into compliance with current codes. Other land uses allowed in the PUD are: apartments, single family detached units on individual lots, local commercial, office and limited general commercial.
An apartment complex is under construction on one parcel and a single family detached, common lot development is being planned for a second parcel. The two remaining parcels have no current development plans. The site contains numerous mature trees, many of which are in the open space areas to be dedicated as parkland. When the PUD was approved in 2000, the current tree preservation ordinance was not in place, therefore the City and the developers negotiated the tree preservation regulations that were applied to the first two phases of the development. This amendment includes the negotiated standard so that it will be applied to the remainder of the development.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the amendment to the PUD No. 40 zoning district at their meeting on August 19, 2015.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
