In addition, the project would be required to meet the standards in both Article 3 and Article 4 to the maximum extent feasible. Conclusion While we do not have alternative designs to comment on, the options that have been mentioned include losing two buildings, moving the affected buildings to other portions if the property and adding units to approved buildings. Any of these options, and other options which staff has speculated on, would require a major amendment review process and likely require a modification which would be heard by the Planning and Zoning Board. Planning: Redesign of the project would require processing through the development review process. Three processes could be considered: a new application could be submitted under the Land Use Code; changes could be determined to be a minor amendment; or, changes could be determined to be a major amendment. Other: Process: As a new submittal under the Land Use Code, the project would be starting over with a new application which would be required to meet all the criteria of the Land Use Code. If the applicant would propose amending the approved PUD, one of two processes would be followed: it would be either a minor or major amendment Since the project was approved under the LDGS, in the case of the Waterfield PUD, an amendment could be considered minor when: The minor amendment results in an increase or decrease by 1 % or less in the approved number of dwelling units; or, The minor amendment results in an increase or decrease in the amount of square footage of a nonresidential land use or structure that does not change the character of the project; or, The minor amendment results in a change in the housing mix or use mix ratio that complies with the requirements of the zone district and does not change the character of the project; or, The minor amendment does not result in a change in the character of the development. Minor amendments can be approved by the Director provided the development plan, as so amended, continues to comply with the standards of the Land Use Code at least to the extent of its original compliance (so as to preclude any greater deviation from the standards of the Land Use Code by reason of the amendment). If the amendment is determined to be a major amendment, it would be required to be processed according to the provisions of Article 4 of the Land Use Code July 30, 1999 Internal Distribution Only ISSUES REGARDING WATERFIELD PUD/NE TRUCK ROUTE Facts regarding the Waterfield PUD: At the time of the appeal of the preliminary PUD, Council approved Ordinance 52-1996 which: Rezoned the southern 60 acres IL with a PUD condition Rezoned the northern 80 acres RLP with a PUD condition Required any residential development to occur at a minimum density of 6 du/net developable acre (as defined in the ordinance) While the Preliminary PUD and Bull Run were approved under the LDGS subject to these limitations, the property is now zoned LMN. Any amendments to the approved PUD will be reviewed under the amendment provisions of the Land Use Code. Approved preliminary PUD: Gross acreage.........................................140.09 Net acreage..............................................79.6 Single Family...........................................187 units Senior Cottages........................................120 units Bull Run Apartments..................................176 units //. s 4101e Gross Density..............................................3.45 du/acre Net Density.................................................6.06 du/acre Bull Run Apartments: 176 du on 15.5 acres = 11.55 du/A Issues If the Northeast Truck Route is approved for Vine Drive, several hundred feet (?) of additional right of way will be required to be taken from the southern portion of the Waterfield PUD significantly affecting the approved Waterfield First Filing PUD (Bull Run Apartments). Several issues associated with the approved project will be required to be addressed: Stormwater: A major drainage ditch runs along the north side of Vine Drive which drains this and adjacent property. Drainage issues will need to be reconsidered which could require a significant redesign of the project which would include amending the recorded plans including revisions to the drainage plans.
