New Proposed PRUD Ordinance Changes
Limits the amount of flexibility that may be considered when reviewing a Planned Residential Unit Development by:
o Putting a clear cap on the potential number of homes in common open space subdivision not to exceed the density allowed by the underlying zoning district.
o Identifying items that may be altered only by a limited amount such as cul-de-sac length, block size, and yard requirements in relation to a street.
-Requires that common open space be improved open space allowing only 30% to include natural areas.
-Clarifies the standards of a private street subdivision and clarifies that the minimum front yard permitted is 20 feet.
-Allows flag lot development as a use by right as long as existing criteria such as lot size and frontage requirements are met rather than continuing to consider them on a case by case basis as a legislative decision.
