Those Code sections have been attached as exhibits to this report. <br /> The applicant has provided site plans for both properties. A commercial site plan review for the <br /> office and senior housing properties and buildings will include a full review of the following items: <br /> 1) Landscaping <br /> 2) Traffic Flow/Road System <br /> 3) Parking Arrangement <br /> 4) Building Height/Setbacks <br /> 5) Review of Architectural Materials/Building Design <br /> 6) Lighting <br /> 7) Screening <br /> 8) Other <br /> I. Preliminary Subdivision/Rezoning/Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br /> Uses within the PUD may include only those uses designated by the official Comprehensive Land <br /> Use Plan. The 1989 Comprehensive Plan Amendment had guided the property for commercial use. <br /> The Comprehensive Plan (CMP) as preliminarily approved by the City Council in September <br /> designated several Orono properties as areas that would allow medium density. The density <br /> proposed in the CMP does not have an existing zoning district that would allow the types of housing <br /> that would be offered by as proposed in this application. The proposed CMP did not include this <br /> property as a residential site. In fact it has been guided for commercial use as was the case with 1989 <br /> CMP amendment. The entire property has been zoned B-1 since at least 1967, perhaps earlier. To <br /> rezone the east property would require changing the land use designation to residential. <br /> The 70 unit building on the 4 acre site would provide 17.5 units/acre of senior housing units at a <br /> variety of unit sizes and rental rates. A revised plan of 62 units would reduce the density to 15.5 <br /> units/acre. The proposed RPUD zoning district would be the appropriate zoning district to provide <br /> the units/acre density requested. Section 10.33, Subdivision 5(E) in the proposed RPUD district <br /> would allow the City of Orono to provide incentives to encourage projects which are consistent with <br /> housing goals. "Incentives may include modification of density and floor area ratio requirements <br /> for developments providing lifecycle housing and low and moderate cost housing." The City has <br /> the ability to ensure the housing need, for lifecycle housing, is met. The RPUD district would rely <br />
