Title
Approval of Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) - City Walk
Body
Whereas, in the matter of City File No. 98-047.2 (City Walk PUD), the Planning Commission recommended that City Council approve the Planned Unit Development, subject to conditions.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved that, on behalf of the City of Rochester Hills, the Rochester Hills City Council hereby approved the Planned Unit Development Agreement and Exhibits dated received February 2, 2004 between Tienken Partners, LLC, a Michigan Limited Liability Company, Clinton Township, Michigan, and the City of Rochester Hills, a Michigan Municipal Corporation, Rochester Hills, Michigan with the following findings and subject to the following conditions.
Be It Further Resolved that approval of this Planned Unit Development Agreement is subject to finalization of the Agreement, including the incorporated Road Improvement Agreement, to the satisfaction of the City administration.
Be It Further Resolved that the Mayor and the City Clerk are authorized to execute and deliver the Agreement on behalf of the City.
Findings:
1. The proposed PUD has met the qualifications of Section 138-1002 of the Zoning Ordinance in that the proposed improvements to the intersection will minimize, alleviate or improve the traffic situation. Further, it provides for the appropriate redevelopment of parcels occupied by obsolete buildings.
2. Dedication of additional road right-of-way, intersection improvements at no cost to the City, increased design and aesthetic controls, and the ability to restrict undesirable uses are substantial public benefits of the proposed PUD that could not be achieved under the B-2 district alone.
3. The PUD will not create an unacceptable impact on public utility and circulation systems, surrounding properties, or the environment. Moreover, the proposed PUD will improve public utility and circulation systems. Further, preservation of a vast majority of the existing vegetation along the south and east property lines and additional proposed plantings should mitigate any negative impacts on adjacent properties.
4. A judicious effort has been used to preserve as many existing trees as possible on-site.
5. The proposed PUD has been designed to promote convenient vehicular and pedestrian circulation within the site. Proposed improvements to the intersection will minimize, alleviate or improve the traffic situation to the site.
Conditions:
1. Approval of the Final PUD Plan relative to roadway improvements by the City Engineer.
2. Preliminary acceptance of the Final PUD Plan by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
3. Preliminary acceptance of the Final PUD Plan by the Road Commission for Oakland County.
4. All Final PUD Plan sheets be consistent.
