Otsego City planning panel recommends adding Redevelopment PUD to zoning code
Summary
The Otsego City Planning Commission voted Aug. 26 to recommend the City Commission approve an amendment to the zoning ordinance to add a Redevelopment Planned Unit Development (RPUD) category (to be renumbered to Section 13.A.6). Commissioners said site plans under the RPUD will still require Planning Commission and City Commission review.
The Otsego City Planning Commission voted Aug. 26 to recommend that the City Commission adopt an amendment to the City of Otsego Zoning Ordinance to add a Redevelopment Planned Unit Development (RPUD) provision, which the presenter asked be renumbered to Section 13.A.6.
City Manager Mitchell gave the commission an overview of the proposed RPUD and said the change is intended to provide a redevelopment-focused Planned Unit Development option while preserving the requirement that individual site plans return to the Planning Commission and City Commission for approval. Chairman Milhiem said the RPUD "seemed to fit with the other PUDs." Member Stacey Withee asked about a referenced 12% slope standard; Lori Costello of PCI said the higher slope threshold is related to constraints posed by the river, saying it is "because of the river."
On the motion stage, Member Stacey Withee moved that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the RPUD amendment (renumbered as requested). Member Wayne Rayburn seconded; the motion carried. The commission's recommendation will go to the City Commission for final action; no City Commission vote was recorded at the Planning Commission meeting.
The change would create a formal RPUD category in the zoning ordinance; proponents said that site plans would still be subject to review and approval processes. The commission did not record a roll-call vote tally in the meeting minutes beyond noting the motion "carried."
