Development) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for a 125 -acre property located west of I-494
and north of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, based on the following findings:
1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and other City policies and
plans.
2. The proposed development meets the intent of the PUD zoning district by providing an
efficient use of land by incorporating a mixture of residential uses within a single development.
3. The proposed development meets the intent of the PUD zoning district by creating an
integrated neighborhood with neo -traditional design elements --such as reduced front yard
setbacks, sidewalks and tree -lined boulevards --which would not otherwise be possible through
strict interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. The development would incorporate common design elements. The buildings would share
common design elements and landscape materials and internal sidewalks would be provided
throughout the development.
5. The developer would be required to extend utilities and construct Cheshire Lane to serve this
development. The extension of public streets and services would be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan. Upon completion of this work, there would be adequate infrastructure
to support the proposed rezoning and development of the parcel.
Adopted by the City Council on this 14th day of November, 2000.
