and waive the fee.
11.8. PROCESS TO RE-INSTITUTE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT r
The ~ommunity Development Director said on June 11 th the City Council directed
staff to return with a report regarding a planned development district, specifically
addressing the history of planned developments in the City; the process to reinstate a
planned development district; the timeline to prepare a planned development district,
and specific issues that could be addressed with a planned development district.
Ms. Liberto-Blanck said during the late 1970s and 1980s, the planned development
district designation was used on several large properties throughout the City. She
said if the Council wishes to reinstate planned developments, a general plan
amendment and rezone would be necessary. She said a second option would be to
modify the existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) provision of the Municipal Code
to incorporate more comprehensive standards in order to provide necessary flexibility
and adequate design and development requirements. She said this would require a
Development Code amendment. She recommended the Council provide direction to
staff on re-prioritizing of the Community Development Department's top project
priorities, if Council wishes to accomplish a quicker review than the first quarter of
1997.
There was Council consensus to modify the existing Planned Unit Development' (PUD)
provision of the Municipal Code to incorporate more comprehensive standards in order
to provide necessary flexibility and adequate development and design requirements.
The Council also agreed that the Community Development Department's current
project priorities will not be changed.
