Public Hearing — Consideration of a request for amendment to the Official Zoning
Map for rezoning to CCD Residential Overlay District (CCD -R) to accommodate
multij2le family attached housing, including residential uses on the ground floor as
per Chatter 3.7(.I) Overlay Zoning Districts of the Monticello Zoning Code.
Applicant: Masters Fifth Avenue, Inc. Planning Case dumber: 2016 - 008
Steve Grittman summarized that staff had determined, upon initial review of the
proposal to construct ground floor residential housing on property located at 3 d and
Locust proposal, that the rezoning to CCD -R was not a viable option as the housing
density proposed exceeds the density allowable within the district.
Grittman explained that the applicant had subsequently submitted an application to
rezone the property to Planned Unit Development (PUD) which would provide some
flexibility to negotiate density and other standards. He pointed out that the Planning
Commission and City Council had met jointly to provide initial input related to moving
the proposal beyond the PUD concept stage.
Grittman noted that staff recommended tabling action on rezoning to CCD -R and
continuing the public hearing so that the alternative PUD option may be reviewed.
