The purpose of this meeting will be to clearly outline the re-zoning and PUD <br /> process as it relates to the developers proposal and to allow staff to address any additional <br /> concerns that were raised at the initial public hearing. <br /> The proposed re-zoning from Mixed Use (MX) to R-3A, Multi-Family Residential <br /> District, allows tighter control in the future as the intent for this development is solely <br /> residential whereas the MX district provided other potential uses. After close <br /> examination of both the PUD and PRD ordinances by Staff, DSU, and the City Attorney, <br /> it became apparent that the most efficient method for handling the discrepancies between <br /> the R3A district standards and the Northwest Quadrant Framework Plan and Design <br /> Guidelines is to process the application as a PUD with underlining R3A zoning. The <br /> PUD ordinance is much simpler and allows for the fewest zoning ordinance amendments. <br /> C:\Documents and Settings\jgoepe\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK28\1-31-2006 Special <br /> meeting regarding NWQ.doc <br />
