The proposal, for two <br />units would reflect an equivalent density of 1.2 dwelling units per acre, which is <br />consistent with the low-density designation. <br />Zoninq: The site is zoned PUD-LDR, which, per the PMC, would require <br />development standards for the project to be established as part of the PUD <br />development plan. <br />The proposed density is above the mid -point density of 1 du/ac and would typically <br />require a public amenity with development, per the General Plan. Examples of <br />amenities include the provision of affordable housing, and dedication and/or <br />improvement of parkland, open space, and/or trails beyond the standard requirements. <br />However, at its public hearing on the prezoning (Ordinance No. 1709 for RZ-97-2) the <br />City Council supported staff and Planning Commission recommendations of a density of <br />a density "approaching two dwelling units per acre, i.e. 1.999...du/acre" for the entire <br />areas subject to annexation, including this site. The Planning Commission agenda <br />report also discussed the provision of amenities, recognizing this would be above the <br />mid -point density. The Planning Commission and City Council concurred with staffs <br />recommendation that no additional amenities or benefits needed to be provided in <br />conjunction with the density conferred, based on the following factors: <br />1. The average density of the area surrounding the prezoning project area is 2 <br />d u/ac. <br />2. The difference between 2 du/ac versus 1 du/ac would be approximately 33 more <br />dwellings across the entire area. Although a substantial difference, available land <br />Page 7 of 9 <br />
