The final development includes 25townhouses.

The Preliminary Plat included 26 lots, 2 outlots, and associated right -of- way on approximately 29 acres, site plan approval for 25 townhome units, and a conditional use permit for excavation and filling within the flood plain. On October 28, 1996, the City Council granted final approval of Planned Unit Development, PUD #96 -3, for a 25 unit medium density residential development on 4.6 acres, second reading of rezoning of Block 1 and Outlot A, Townhomes at Creekside, from A2, Agricultural Estate, to Planned Unit Development — Residential, PUD -R, final plat of 26 lots, 2 outlots. REZONING The City is requesting to rezone approximately 7.03 acres to PUD -R, Planned Unit Development - Residential to incorporate the unique development standards and referencing the Mixed Medium Density Residential District, R -8. The project consists of 25 townhome 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 allow townhouses. 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.
