Other cities have adopted PUD ordinances that would allow commercial developments, such as this proposed development. Each PUD would be reviewed to determine if the developments meets the intent of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and if it is compatible with the vision and needs of the City and surrounding properties. Parking Requirements Parking areas are required to be 20' to the front property line. The B-4 district allows parking to within 3 ’ of side property lines, except property lines adjacent to an “R" district require a setback of 10'. The property will be required to dedicate drainage and utility easements 10' around the perimeter of the property. It is appropriate to not construct parking areas within the casement area. The property is also surrounded mostly by residential property and therefore it should be required all parking meet a 1 O' side setback. The additional setback area would allow for planting of trees or other vegetative screening along the property lines. Total parking spaces required for office building use is one space per 200 s.f of floor area. The proposed plan requires 98 parking spaces based on the total usable floor area of the buildings. 98 parking spaces arc shown on the plan.
