MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Angie Kairies, Planner I
DATE: June 21, 2011
SUBJ: Planned Unit Developments — Residential
BACKGROUND
In 2009, the City amended the commercial Planned Unit Development, PUD design
standards to reference the City Code when the PUD is silent. Staff is proposing an
ordinance amendment governing residential Planned Unit Developments to reference the
City Code.
ANALYSIS
Each of these sites has specific ordinances that govern it; however, there are instances
when the PUD is silent on certain requirements such as home occupations, driveway
design standards, etc. In such instances, the City Code must be referenced to govern
these sites. Staff found a number of PUDs that do not reference the City Code.

Also, a number of these residential PUD's are older developments and the city code has been
amended to include additional zoning districts, such as the Residential Low and Medium
Density, RLM. Staff is proposing to evaluate these ordinances to determine if there is a more
fitting zoning district. In such instances, staff will present a proposal to rezone those properties.
Staff will present PUD ordinance amendments beginning with more recent developments, as the
amendment will be straightforward and reference the city code. The earlier developments are
more complex and will require greater evaluation to determine the extent of the amendment and
possible rezoning. Some of the older developments have uses listed that are out of date and will
require updating, such as commercial uses within a residential district.
RECOMMENDATION
The amendments will appear before the Planning Commission in groups based on agenda
availability. Depending on the evaluation of the PUD's, there are approximately 45 potential
amendments.
