SARATOGA THIRD ADDITION, PUD #98 -2 August 10, 1998 — Approved rezoning from R -12 to PUD -R for the 3.58 acres of residential land (Ordinance #284), REZ #98 -3 to rezone the parkland west of the residential site to Office Institutional, subject to the plans and specification of the final plat approval. The final plat (SUB 98 -7) approval requires that the development comply with the development design standards and the wetland be delineated at the time of site plan review.

REZONING The City is requesting to rezone approximately 3.58 acres to Planned Unit Development - Residential (PUD -R) incorporating the unique development standards and referencing the High Density Residential District (R -12). The project consists of up to 46 multi - family units. The review criteria are taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance. Section 20 -501. Intent Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD in this instance is to establish the future develop density of the site. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for specific development criteria. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the other more standard zoning districts. The proposed development provides a compatible development with the surrounding development. The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following land use goals of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan: • Development will be encouraged within the MUSA line. • The plan should seek to establish sufficient land to provide a full range of housing opportunities. • The city will seek opportunities to provide transitions between different uses of different types. • Development should be phased in accordance with the ability of the city to provide services. The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following housing goals of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan: Saratoga 3` Addition Residential Planned Unit Development Amendment May 15, 2012 Page 3 of 5 • A balanced housing supply with housing available for people of all income levels. • A variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life cycle. • Housing development that respects the natural environment of the community while striving to accommodate the need for a variety of housing types and costs.
