Rezoning. The development is based on RPUD zoning, which allows for flexibility in design necessary to meet goals of the comprehensive plan. The chart below highlights the flexibility necessary.

Updated information Due to the nature of ongoing review of the application in addition to the Planning Commission's recommendations, the applicant has revised the drawings, provided as Exhibit A and summarized here: Engineering Review: Review of the preliminary information was completed on July 21, 2016 and forwarded to the applicant. In response, staff met with the applicant to go over these comments, many of which were based on incomplete storm water planning; this information has been provided and is being reviewed. Should the Council wish to approve the preliminary plat, staff suggests a condition that all engineering comments be addressed to the satisfaction of staff and the city engineer. It was noted during the planning commission review that the proposed ponds required the removal of several significant trees. Responding to the goal of preserving as many trees as possible, the developer proposes to use pervious pavers in the driveways and reconfiguring the pond shape and locations. Adding pervious pavers reduces the hardcover as calculated by the watershed district below their review threshold, meaning their rules pertaining to rate and volume do not apply. However, because of the history of flooding in the area, in particular along Kelly Avenue, staff has evaluated the grading plan to ensure that storm -water is retained onsite and distributed at the current (predevelopment) rate and volume RPUD District Minimum Proposed Flexibility SFR Standard Lot Standards Required?
