The property is directly adjacent to or across a public street from property which has <br /> been developed previously as a RPUD or planned residential development and will be <br /> perceived as and will function as an extension of that previously approved development. <br /> c. The property is located in an area where the proposed development provides a transition <br /> between a commercial or industrial area and an existing residential area or on an intermediate <br /> or principal arterial as defined in the comprehensive plan. <br /> (2) Uses. Each property rezoned to RPUD shall only be used for the use or uses for which the site is <br /> designated in the comprehensive plan, except that the city may permit rezoning to RPUD on a <br /> site designated for commercial use if the city council finds that such use is in the best interests <br /> of the city and is consistent with the requirements of this division. If a commercial site is to <br /> be rezoned to RPUD,the city may forward a copy of the request to the metropolitan council <br /> for review. (emphasis added) <br /> It would appear that the provisions of 78-626(1)b would be applicable, as the proposed use is within the <br /> Stonebay Master Development and is directly across Kelley Parkway from the Stonebay Lofts, which are <br /> similarly zoned RPUD. Further,because the site is guided for commercial office use with the intention of <br /> being rezoned for commercial use,the rezoning would fit within the provisions of 78-626(2). It should be <br /> noted that the Council has recently approved and supported two smaller RPUD developments(Shadywood <br /> Villas and the Eisinger site)so that rezoning the Kelley Parkway parcel to RPUD would not be inconsistent. <br /> RPUD District Minimuni Proposed lot flexibility <br /> SFR Standard Standards Required? <br /> Minimum project size: 5 acres 3.5 Yes <br /> Building Setback(Kelley Parkway) 35 44 No <br /> Building setback(Wayzata Blvd) 50 54 No <br /> Minimum side yard setback: 35 feet 37 feet No <br /> Maximum FAR: 1 0.52 No <br /> Parking lot and dribving lane setback 20' 8-27 feet Yes <br /> Private Recreational Area: 10%ofgross project area 3%proposed Yes <br /> Building height: Maximum of 30 feet appx 32' Yes <br /> Number of stories 3(Max) 2 No <br /> Hardcover 50% 63% Yes <br /> Height limitations. "For properties guided for residential use in the comprehensive plan, a building <br /> height limit of 30 feet shall apply. For properties currently zoned or guided in the comprehensive plan <br /> for commercial use, height may exceed 30 feet but shall not exceed three stories (not including <br /> underground parking level) and shall maintain a residential character by incorporating pitched or <br /> hipped roof structure." <br /> Architecture. The Stonebay development has established a certain design characteristic. Staff suggests that <br /> the building materials be consistent with the pattern established by the Stonebay development,and include <br /> architectural shingles,cement/fiber boar siding,brick and/or stone. These materials should be spelled out <br /> in the final master plan. <br /> Conformity: The proposed conceptual site plan includes a two-story building with a defined height <br /> estimated at 32 feet, significantly lower than the Lofts across the street, but still technically requiring <br /> flexibility. Proposed underground parking under half of the building constitutes a 3'level. It is assumed <br /> that some filling to raise the overall elevation of the site is likely in order to accommodate the underground <br />
