Franklin: The winiaua standard is 1z= presently. The City Council and the developer have different interests and can negotiate the amount and the type of public use dedication. Davidson: If an area is zoned, for instance RE, requiring 12,000 sq. ft. lots, a PUD allows you to manipulate the lots. In subdivision zoning, is that allowed? Franklin: No. There is no flexibility. one of the attractive points of PUD for the development community is that it allows blanket grants /waivers of the subdivision provisions or the zoning regulations. Davidson: Tom, is it your intent to waivaz those for subdivisions, by going through this process or is it your intention that subdivision standards remain in effect, it's just the PUD process that goes forth? Mayer: The Council doesn't have to lower the standards, if it so chooses. The applicant could always make a PUD application. It might be that the 12% dedication of land may be completely unusable for a park. Through the PUD process one could require that at least the residents of that neighborhood have something that could service their needs. That is the benefit. Mayer moved that Council asked the City Attorney to draft an ordinance reflected in his comments to the subdivision, and do some research as to what the lower boundaries should be, both in terms of acreage and in terms of density, and brinq it back to Council at the next meeting, where Council could discuss the fine points of it. Seconded by Sisk. Davidson offered a friendly amendment to have similar information on changi:,q the subdivision ordinance to include those kinds of requirements. He had a problem with suddenly allowing subdivisions to change density. Mayer accepted that. Seconder, Sisk, accepted that. All in favor except Lathrop. it
