In terms of the residential component of the project, the applicant proposes 160 apartments and 26 condo units. The portion of the development within the City of Graymoor-Devondale is proposed for R-7 Multi-family because that city has not yet adopted the PD zoning district. Therefore this section of the development will be restricted to only multi-family residential uses. The applicant should provide the number of units that will be in the R-7 portion of the site, and the density calculations to demonstrate it falls within the acceptable range of density in the R-7 zoning classification.

In terms of a ?“plan?” for a development in the PD, the regulations permit one of two options, either a ?“concept plan?” or a ?“master plan.?”

A. PD -Concept Plan Option:
1.
Applications to amend the zoning map to a Planned Development District may be accompanied by a PD-Concept Plan. A PD-Concept Plan shall be approved by the legislative body at the time the rezoning to the Planned Development District is approved. Once approved, all development within the Planned Development shall conform to the PD-Concept Plan. All changes to the approved PD-Concept Plan shall require a hearing before the Planning Commission and final review and approval by the legislative body.

2. Contents of PD-Concept Plan.
The PD-Concept Plan shall include a list of uses permitted within the Planned Development District and the distribution of uses over the subject property, i.e. the specific locations on the subject site at which particular uses are permitted. The PD-Concept Plan may also designate limited uses, which may be permitted at specific locations only if approved by the legislative body. The PD-Concept Plan may also include provisions above and beyond the requirements of the LDC pertaining to site and building design, parking, signs, landscaping, density, floor area ratio, pedestrian and roadway interconnections between adjacent properties within the Planned Development District, and any other provisions considered appropriate by the Planning Commission or legislative body.
