Planned Unit Development (PUD) 273 and rezoning request BAZ-1995 involve an 11.07 net acre parcel located one-quarter mile north of Albany Street, east of 23rd Street. Applicant is requesting that the zoning on the property be changed from A-RM to PUD-273/RM. The property is designated as Level 3 in the Comprehensive Plan.
The design statement submitted by the applicant for PUD-273 states that the maximum number of dwelling units will be limited to 228. According to Section 4.1.E of the Zoning Ordinance, the maximum number of dwelling units allowed in a residential PUD with RM zoning is one unit per 2,200 square feet of gross land area. The property associated with PUD-273 has 11.07 net acres and contains 386.95 feet of frontage along County Line Road. The right-of-way along 23rd Street is 50 feet in width. Therefore, the gross area is 501,557 square feet (50 x 386.95) + (11.07 x 43,560) = 501,556.7 square feet or 11.51 gross acres. With 501,557 gross square feet, 228 units are allowed by the Zoning Ordinance (501,557 ÷ 2,200 = 228).
