Proposed RPUD Zoning Amendment October 13, 2000 Page 2 - Proposed density of a project in RPUD must match the CMP planned density,except that for a site not planned for residential but which Council wishes to be residential,Council decides appropriate density. — Incentives as to density and floor area ratio are possible for RPUD proposals which Council finds are consistent with Orono's housing goals. — RPUD Performance Standards are established for hardcover, floor area ratio, setbacks, etc. (see Subd 5). A laundry list of potential additional standards for consideration, appears as item P on page 7. - Application review, approval and amendment procedures are generally described in Subd. 6 thru Subd. 9. Substantial detail in terms of specific plan submittal requirements could be added, using our Highway 12 PUD (Section 10.53) as a reference. Discussion The impetus for creating the RPUD District is the application we expect to soon receive for a 70-unit senior housing building on a site along Highway 12 that is guide-planned for commercial use.. The proposed RPUD District ordinance language addresses and accommodates such a use conversion (from commercial to residential) as well as the density needed to make the project feasible. However, the RPUD District is also intended to be a suitable option for development of the three specific areas along Highway 12 the CMP has guided for 2-6 units per acre SFR/MFR use.And,the RPUD District ultimately may replace our minimal PRD code section for planned residential developments. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance to establish standards and authority for the RPUD District as a residential zoning option, subject to any changes that may be proposed by Planning Commission, Council and staff as the review process moves forward. Options for Action 1. Recommend that the zoning code be amended by adoption of the attached RPUD ordinance as Section 10.33,creating the RPUD District as a residential zone,establishing authority and standards for rezoning to and development within the Residential Planned Unit Development District. 2. Table for further discussion. 3. Recommend that the RPUD district not be created. 4. Other.
