RPUD Ordinance February 23, 2001 Page 2 6. Subd. 5(H)6 on Page 7: Side setbacks for Single-family. Language has been revised to require the side yard setback for a RPUD single-family lot that abuts another residential zoning district,to meet the side yard setback of that adjacent district. 7. Subd.5(N)2(a)on Page 10:Minimum Landscape Value. The Minimum Landscape Value table has been replaced by a new table defining the minimum numbers of trees & shrubs required based on the size of the building or site perimeter. This reduces the possibility of a developer meeting the landscaping obligation by installing a few high-value landscaping amenities and leaving the remainder of the site under-landscaped. It also makes application of the ordinance more objective and easier to interpret. The proposed numbers of trees are similar to the numbers appearing in the zoning ordinances for Plymouth and Brooklyn Park. 8. Subd.5(N)3(a)on Page 11: Parking Lot Landscaping. The threshold number of stalls at which landscape islands must be installed in parking lots has been reduced from 150 to 100. 9. Subd.5(T)on Page 16: Lighting. Section 5(T)on lighting standards has been added.. The RPUD section merely references that the RPUD district is subject to the lighting performance standards of the zoning chapter. staff will very shortly be proposing an update of the lighting standards in the General Performance Standards section of the Zoning Code, which will be applicable to all districts. 10. Subd.5(U)on Page 17:Trails. Section 5(U)requiring provision of trails at the developers' expense has been added. Where required. trails will be required within development sites and/or within public rights-of-way at the City's discretion, will be 8' wide, and will be of bituminous surface unless the City allows some other material. 11. Various Sections: re: Trails.
