March 14, 2008 Letter to Joyce Pumm re: Text Amendment to 34-40.7 (3) and (5) - PD District Regulations Page 3 of 3 <br />e <br />f. Common Open Space Requirements. Common open space for “PD-R” developments <br />shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of Article 5, “Supplementary <br />Regulations,” Section 34-57.4 of this chapter. <br />f <br /> g. Perimeter Buffer Requirements. <br />(1) Where a “PD-R” development proposes residential development along the perimeter <br />of the site, which is higher in density than that of an adjacent residentially zoned <br />property, there shall be a minimum thirty (30) foot wide buffer area. The buffer area shall <br />be kept free of buildings or structures and shall be landscaped or protected by natural <br />features so that all higher-density residential buildings are effectively screened from the <br />abutting lower-density residential property. <br />(2) Where a “PD-R” development abuts a commercial or industrial use or district, there <br />shall be a minimum thirty (30) foot wide buffer area. This buffer area shall be permanent <br />and landscaped and/or otherwise provided with screening (i.e., sightproof fencing) so as <br />to effectively screen the commercial or industrial use from the “PD-R” development. <br />… <br />5. Planned Development-Mixed Use (PD-M). “PD-M” developments shall incorporate <br />the regulations set forth in both subsections (c)(3) and (4) of this section dealing <br />specifically with “PD-R” and “PD-C” developments. If an unresolved conflict between <br />those regulations occurs (such as between common open space versus site coverage) the <br />applicant shall set forth the reasons for such discrepancy and the proposed resolution. <br />Any discrepancies between the two sets of regulations and the resolution thereof shall be <br />set forth in the map amendment ordinance and/or the resolution approving the <br />development. The resolution thereof shall be pursuant to staff recommendation or as set <br />forth by the plan commission in the map amendment ordinance. (Ord. 6530 § 1 (part), <br />2005) <br /> A motion was made by Mr. Byrne, seconded by Ms. Greening and passed by a vote of 6 to 0 that <br />the Plan Commission recommend approval of the text amendment. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charles Marentette, Chairperson <br /> City Plan Commission <br />cc: Julie Feier, City Manager <br /> <br />Q:\WPOFFICE\WPDATA\x-34-40-7(3) & (5).letcup.doc <br /> <br />
