PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW <br /> Conformity with Zoning District Standards <br /> In relation to the RPUD standards, there are specific guidelines for detached single family <br /> development in Zoning Code Section 78-626(8) - see Exhibit L. The RPUD standards as <br /> written for detached single family use do not accommodate the type of smaller, narrow lot style <br /> of development that is proposed. However, the concept of a planned unit development process is <br /> to allow flexibility in design. Section 78-626(16) provides for flexibility in RPUD standards, as <br /> follows: <br /> (16) Flexibility. The uniqueness of each RPUD requires that specifications and standards for <br /> streets, utilities, public facilities and subdivisions may be subject to modification from the city <br /> ordinances ordinarily governing them. The city council may therefore approve streets, utilities, <br /> public facilities and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual specifications or <br /> ordinance requirements, if it finds that strict adherence to such standards or requirements is not <br /> required to meet the intent of this section or to protect the health, safety or welfare of the <br /> residents of the RPUD,the surrounding area or the city as a whole. <br /> This proposed development concept will require a significant departure (flexibility) from the <br /> RPUD district lot standards for individual homesites. The table below identifies specific <br /> standards which would require flexibility: <br /> RPUD District Minimum Proposed Flexibility <br /> SFR Standard Lot Standards Required? <br /> Minimum lot size: 15,000 square feet 7,500 s.f.—66,000 s.f.
