Agenda Review: No changes <br /> <br />Public Hearing: PUD05-02, LP05-13, PL05-08 Preliminary Review of Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD), Preliminary Site Plan and Preliminary Plat in Conjunction <br />with aRe-Zoning ofa Portion of the West Side of Old Highway 8 from Mixed-Use <br />(MX) to Multiple Family Residential (R3A) <br /> <br />The Planning Commission is asked to continue the public hearing opened at the January <br />17, 2006 meeting to consider an application by David Bernard Builders and Developers <br />for a preliminary review of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), Preliminary Site Plan, <br />Preliminary Plat, including a Re-Zoning of a portion ofthe west side of Old Highway 8 <br />from Mixed-Use (MX) to Multi-Family Residential (R3A) all located within the <br />Northwest Quadrant. <br /> <br />The purpose of the public hearing continuation was to provide staff additional time to <br />define the regulatory process that needs to occur in order for the application to move <br />forward and also the opportunity to address any concerns raised at the initial public <br />hearing. 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 /> <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 /> <br />I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\Minutes\2006\1-31-2006 Special meeting regarding NWQ.doc <br />
