City Council Meeting Minutes
An Ordinance Revising Procedures for Planned Unit Developments
The City Council of Maplewood ordains as follows:
Section I. Chapter 44, Secs. 44-6, 44-9, and 44-390 are hereby amended as follows.
Sec. 44-6. - Definitions.
Planned unit developments (PUD) means a type of development characterized by a
unified site design, with often two or more principal uses or structures. A PUD may
include townhouses, apartments, multiple -use structures such as an apartment with
commercial shops, or similar projects. Residential PUDs must have at least five dwelling
units or dwelling sites and may include single -dwelling homes. The PUD application,
timing and recording process is described under Article VII, Rezoning to a Planned Unit
Development.
Shoreland planned unit development means a planned unit development (PUD) located
within the shoreland overlay district. The shoreland PUD is processed as a conditional
use permit, as described under Article IX, Shoreland Overlay District, and in compliance
with Minnesota Rules section 6120.3800 as may be amended.
Sec. 44-9. — Zoning Districts.
(a) The city is hereby ***
In addition to the above, the city is divided into the following planned unit
development (PUD) districts:
PUD-F
Planned unit development — fixed district
PUD-1
Reserved for future PUD district
Sec. 44-390. — Part of planned unit development.
Townhouses, together with other types of multiple -dwelling structures, or any
combination of different types of dwelling structures, defined and classified under this
division, shall be eligible to be considered and treated as a planned unit development
pursuant to Article II, Division 15 and Article VII, Division 2 of this chapter.
Section II. Article II. — DISTRICT REGULATIONS is hereby amended to add a new
Division 15. — PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS, Secs. 44-687 through 44-730.
DIVISION 15. — PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS
Sec. 44-687. — Planned unit development - fixed district
(a) The purpose of the planned unit development - fixed district is to allow for the
continuance of planned unit developments approved through conditional use
permits prior to September 1, 2020.
September 14, 2020
City Council Meeting Minutes
19
(b) There shall be no new parcels zoned to the planned unit development - fixed
district after September 1, 2020.
(c) All preliminary and final development plans approved as part of a conditional use
permit for a planned unit development prior to September 1, 2020 shall remain in
full force and effect as part of this overlay district. Provided new development in
the planned unit development - fixed district is in compliance with the approved
plans, the development shall be considered in conformance.
(d) Amendments to development plans for property in the planned unit development
- fixed district shall be processed according to the provisions in Article VII,
Division 2. Minor amendments will be considered while major amendments shall
require the establishment of a new planned unit development district.
Sec. 44-688. - Planned unit development (PUD)
(a) The planned unit development (PUD) provisions are intended to encourage more
efficient use of land, public services and greater amenity by allowing, under
certain circumstances, a more flexible means of land development or
redevelopment than is otherwise afforded through the strict enforcement of the
zoning requirements of certain districts through lot -by -lot development. Although
planned unit developments may appear to deviate in certain aspects from a literal
interpretation of the zoning and subdivision ordinances, the PUD is intended to
allow flexibility in design in order to promote developments which will be an asset
to the city by equaling or surpassing the quality of developments resulting from
the application of more conventional zoning regulations. A PUD may be used as a
special district adapting any base zoning district or combination of zoning districts.
(b) A planned unit development shall be established by rezoning to a newly created,
numbered planned unit development district that outlines the uses, dimensions,
and design standards of the new PUD zoning district following the procedures set
forth in Article VII, Division 2.
(c) Planned unit developments shall be on a tract of land more than one (1) acre.
(d) Permitted uses shall generally be consistent with the permitted or conditional uses
of the underlying base district. However, a PUD district can request alternative
uses to the permitted uses of the underlying base district, subject to the approval
by the city council as part of the establishment of the PUD.
(e) Density of development must meet the guidance set by the comprehensive plan's
future land use designation and map.
(f) The following provisions shall be addressed as part of the PUD. When it is
intended that regulations vary from the underlying district, the applicant shall
propose them as part of the PUD application process:
(1) A PUD shall be designed to complement existing and planned future land
uses of adjacent uses and infrastructure.
September 14, 2020 20
City Council Meeting Minutes
(2) Lot area may vary from the underlying base district standard in a PUD
provided the developer has demonstrated that the proposed design and
layout meets the provisions of this chapter.
(3) Setbacks may vary from underlying base district standards in a PUD
provided the developer has demonstrated that the proposed design and
layout meets the provisions of this chapter. Perimeter setbacks shall be
consistent with the setbacks of the underlying base zoning district.
(4) Building height may vary from the underlying base district standard. The
city may request cross sections, elevations and other information from the
developer in order to determine if the structure height meets the
provisions of this chapter.
(5) A PUD shall be designed to preserve existing vegetation and topography
where practical and shall be consistent with the goals and objectives of
the comprehensive plan.
(6) Overall architectural design shall be generally compatible with the
characteristics of the surrounding developments.
(7) Parking ratios may deviate from the off-street parking space standards.
Where alternative parking ratios are not stated in the PUD application,
they shall conform to section 44-17 off-street parking.
(8) All publicly dedicated streets, utilities and storm -water facilities shall be
designed in accordance with the city code, policies, and design
standards. The city may consider flexible standards for streets if the
developer has demonstrated that the proposed design and layout
warrants varying standards and the design meets the provisions of this
chapter.
(9) Circulation/access.
a. Vehicular access to lots adjoining an arterial street as defined by the
functional classification system shall be designed by way of a
frontage road, service road or local street.
b. Streets in a PUD shall be designed to promote a grid network of
streets, minimizing dead ends and cul-de-sacs and connecting to
adjoining developments where streets have been `stubbed in' for
the purpose of continuation.
A PUD shall include provisions for pedestrians, bicycles and transit.
(10) A landscape and screening plan shall be included in the PUD submittal.
The plan should include street tree provisions, screening, parking lot
landscaping where applicable and the preservation of mature, healthy
hardwood trees where applicable.
(11) A comprehensive sign plan shall be adopted following the requirements of
September 14, 2020 21
City Council Meeting Minutes
Chapter 44 — Zoning, Article III. — Sign Regulations. Preliminary plans
related to signage shall be submitted as part of the PUD application.
While the comprehensive sign plan will be adopted subsequently to the
PUD, if an exception to the City's signage regulations are needed they
shall be evaluated and adopted as part of the PUD process. Freestanding
pylon type signs shall consolidate tenants or uses in predetermined
locations, minimizing the number of freestanding signs where possible.

having a legal interest in the property described in the application. All
applications shall be submitted to the director of community development
upon the form supplied by the city. The director shall not accept an
application that is not complete. Specific requirements shall be as stated on
this form, but shall include at least the following information, if applicable:

(3) Any other information required by the director of community development, the
city council or the council's advisory bodies.
Sec. 44-1099. - Start of construction or use.
The proposed construction must be substantially started or the proposed use utilized
within one year of council approval or the conditional use permit shall become null and
void. The council may grant up to one one-year extension of the permit if just cause is
shown. This requirement shall not apply to shoreland PUDs with an approved phasing
plan. Such extension shall be requested in writing and filed with the director of
community development at least 30 days before the expiration of the original conditional
use permit. There shall be no charge for filing such petition. The request for extension
shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in
the conditional use permit.

DIVISION 2. - REZONING TO A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) DISTRICT
Sec. 44-1166. - Purpose and intent.
The purpose of the planned unit development (PUD) district is to provide comprehensive
procedures and standards intended to allow more creativity and flexibility in site plan
design than would be possible under a conventional zoning district. The decision to zone
property to PUD is a public policy decision for the city council to make in its legislative
capacity. The purpose and intent of a PUD is to include most or all of the following:
(a) Provide for the establishment of planned unit development (PUD) zoning
districts in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a
development pattern that is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan;
(b) Promote a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the city,
while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort,
aesthetics, economic viability and general welfare of the city;
(c) Provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations in
order to improve site design and operation, while at the same time
incorporate design elements that exceed the city's standards to offset the
effect of any variations. Desired design elements may include: sustainable
design, greater utilization of new technologies in building design, special
construction materials, landscaping, lighting, stormwater management,
pedestrian -oriented design;
(d) Ensure high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land
uses, including both existing and planned;
(e) Maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities;
(f) Preserve and enhance site characteristics, including natural features, wetland
protection, trees, open space, scenic views and screening;
(g) Allow for mixing of land uses within a development;
(h) Encourage a variety of housing types, including affordable housing; and
