Mound's lot size and width requirements will require flexibility from the State standards (Appendix C). Strict application of the State standards is not only infeasible but impossible in a community that is virtually fully developed. Application of lot standards other than those identified would result in variance requests for virtually every property within the City. nFNSlTY/PLANNBD UNIT DEYFLOP Mound will request flexibility from the State standards regarding multi>family density and planned unit devdopment provisions. The State standards require that any structure containing more than four units be processed as a planned luiit development. Mound's R-4 zoning defines multi-family as any project having four or more units per structure^ however, it docs not require such projects to be processed as planned unit developments. Under the current R-4 provisions, projects with an overall density of 14 units per acre are allowable under the R-4 zoning provisions rather than imder specific PUD provisions. This issue impacts only the redevelopment or reconstruction of existing projects since all R-4 properties within the City are fully developed. Should any of these developments be destroyed by natural disaster, the Qty wants to maintain the ability to approve reconstruction without requiring PUD approval. It does not, however, desire to expand such density to other portions of the City. Mound does have PUD provisions as part of its zoning code. In Mound, a PUD is know as a planned development area (PDA). At the present time, the City's shoreland provisions will modify the existing PDA langxiage to add the density restrictkms and establish tiers as is found in the State standards. This will ensure that future planned development areas including redevelopment projects outside of the R-4 zone %vill develop in accordance with the density standards found in the State rules. lO I y a IVIQUS COVER Mound's current zoning code does not contain impervious cover restrictions. In reviewing the isstie of impervious cover, the City conducted a parcel by parcel of various areas in the community to amve at a reasonable limitati Based on that research. Mound will request flexibility to utilize the follow" impervious cover restrictions: Residential - 30% Commcrdal/lndustrUl - 30% Commerdal/Industrial with adopted stormwater managoient plan - 75%
