One acre densities adjacent to the multiple dwelling <br />zone would be acceptable but there appeared to be a conflict with an even more <br />important goal which was to protect the existing rural development to the east and <br />the north. A maximum 35 unit PUD would appear to be an attempt to provide <br />a moderate balance or transition between the multiple dwellings to the south <br />followed by one unit per one acre and one unit per two acre development at <br />north. <br />PUD Rezoning. As in the original sketch plan, the Planning Commission <br />strongly recommends the development of the property under a PUD plan based <br />on the following findings: <br />1.

The Planning Commission would like landscape buffers <br />and larger building envelopes adjacent to Willow Drive. Some of the proposed <br />lots are too restricted in area.

Applicant had asked the Planning Commission if the City <br />had any special use that could be made of the open space outlet. Planning <br />Commission members advised that the open space was required for density credit <br />and that it should be used for mitigation areas and bike and pedestnan trails. It
