Draft Ordinance Exhibit B. PC Memo and Ea�hibit dated 1/20/15 Summary of Request: Revise the PUD Ordinance, Section 78-1001(6)to allow the Navarre Area to be eli ible for develo ment via the PUD rocess. Planning Commission Recommendation: On 1/20/2015 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended adoption of the proposed code amendment on a vote of 6-0. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as drafted. In April 1989 the City adopted Ordinance #67, 2"d Series which included revisions to the B-1 Commercial District, created the B-6 Highway Commercial District, and established provisions for development by the Planned Unit Development(PUD)process. PUD code section 78-1001(6) authorized utilization of the PUD zoning district only to the Highway 12 Corridor as set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment#2, adopted May 23, 1988. The PUD District allows for mixed use development such as that for which certain properties in Navarre are guided in the 2008-2030 Comprehensive Plan. Although a set of standards for Navarre mixed use has yet to be created, this proposed authorization to allow use of the PUD process in the Navarre area is a necessary step in future development of mixed use in this area of Orono. Staff Recommendation The proposed addition of Navarre to the areas where development via the PUD process is authorized should be adopted per the attached draft ordinance. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to adopt the attached Ordinance Amending the Orono Zoning Code by Adding the Navarre Area to Section 78-1001(6) as Eligible for Development via the PUD Process.
