ANALYSIS:
Zoning:
"PUD R-3" Planned Unit Development Single-Family Residential District
Pursuant to section 35-344 of the Unified Development Code (UDC), the Planning Commission shall utilize the criteria of the section in reviewing a PUD plan. Staff finds that the Sandalwood Subdivision as proposed is in compliance with the evaluation criteria with the exception of Section 35-344(e) (1) regarding Required Setbacks. More specifically, the UDC requires the Planned Unit Development (PUD) perimeter setback shall be twenty (20) feet. After considering compatibility with existing uses, staff has no objection to the granting of the proposed lesser setback of fourteen (14) feet. Further, the proposal will not negatively impact the adjacent residential uses, will adhere to UDC Section 35-516(g) regarding garage setback, and the anticipated reduction in on-street parking should facilitate an improved traffic and pedestrian circulation for the subdivision. The reviewing agencies have no objection to the favorable consideration by the Planning Commission.
