AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 405.390 AND REPEALING AND REPLACING, ARTICLE X PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OF CHAPTER 405 TO ADD NEW DEFINITIONS AND ESTABLISH NEW REGULATIONS

Mayor McAndrew opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Gipson reported that the comprehensive plan, Clayton Tomorrow 2040, includes a key result to “Review PUD public benefit points system to identify opportunities for better alignment with city objectives.” As part of the analysis, staff have also identified opportunities to simplify the framework and evaluation of PUD proposals. The Plan Commission-Architectural Review Board and the City Council have held multiple discussion sessions on this topic to provide guidance, pose questions for staff to consider, and solicit feedback from the public. Following review of past PUD projects, current city goals, and feedback from the discussion sessions, staff drafted a modification and public benefits framework for PUDs.

The Plan Commission-Architectural Review Board and the City Council have held multiple discussion sessions on this topic to provide guidance, pose questions for staff to consider, and solicit feedback from the public. Following review of past PUD projects, current city goals, and feedback from the discussion sessions, staff drafted a modification and public benefits framework for PUDs. The proposed framework draft was sent to developers, designers, and property owners who have completed a PUD project within Clayton or who have inquired about a future potential PUD project to collect feedback from the development community on the changes. Anna Krane, Director of Planning, addressed the Council providing a presentation and overview of the proposed revisions. Mayor McAndrew closed the public hearing.
