PRD #27 UN-20b Page #10 least part of_this land for the purpose of calculating the number of units permitted. Calculating density on net acreage .(delete streets and public park) the request is to determine the number of allowable units at about 68% of the normal district requirements. Alternatives to the variance proposed include: 1. Not accepting the park dedication - in this case the park would .become private open space. The density with the approximately 5 acres of private open space would be well within the PRD standards. - 2. Rezoning sufficient land to R-3B to eliminate the need for the variance. There is perhaps some benefit to this approach. No variance_would be needed and actual use would be zoned. My reservations are that R-36 zoning would be inconsistent with the proposed Comprhensive Plan. Further, ,in the event the condominium project was. not finalized the land would be zoned for the-higher density. If the property were zoned R-2 and the condominium-were not built, any new development would be subject. to the R-2 density limits. 3. The park could be dedicated after all approvals had..-been. granted and the plat recorded. This would, however, place all units irr a non-conforming status. 4. If so desired, the Council could .initiate a zoning .code text amendment to make provision for public park land. dedication. My opinion is that there is some merit for consideration of the variance,. certainly is a unique situation. The variance would also appear to be' totally consistent with the stated purposes of the PRD ordinance.. It would promote the efficient use of land and would promote the public hearth and welfare.. MODIFICATIONS The proposed modifications of this PRD from the normal requirements of the zoning code include: i. Density A. The preliminary plan has lots in an R-1 district less than 10,000 sq. ft. Under a PRD proposal 8,000 sq. ft. lots are permissible. _ B. Two family .dwellings alive a required lot size of 12-,500 sq. ft. and under PRD a 10.,000 sq. ft. lot is permitted. C. In an R-3B district with a proposal of 56 .units 245,000 sq. ft. is required and the applicant is providing 98,325 sq. ft. Under the PRD increased density calculation 196,000 sq. ft. would be required for 56 units.
