The site is undeveloped, and is zoned PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District permitting 68 single-unit dwellings and 28 apartment units at a net density of 5.34 units/acre with 3.23 acres of open space. The requested PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District will permit 40 single-unit dwellings and 36 apartment units at a net density of 3.95 units/acre with 7.7 acres of provided open space, and includes both private and public streets. The submitted PUD plan and data table illustrate the proposed development. The development text includes use restrictions, and setback, access and tree preservation provisions.
