CLEAR & OBJECTIVE HOUSING: APPROVAL C RITERIA UPDATE <br />November 13, 2018 DRAFT Preferred Concepts Report: Significant Issues Page 28 of 59 <br />COS-04 (ONE A CRE A CCESSIBLE O PEN S PACE FOR PUDS) <br />Description : The clear and objective planned unit development criterion that requires open space to be <br />located within ¼ mile of the site can limit development to sites near existing open spaces such as public parks, <br />which may reduce those areas of the city that can be developed under the clear and objective track. Sites that <br />have to provide open space internal to the development to satisfy this criterion may lose a significant amount of <br />land due to the one-acre minimum requirement. This decreases housing development potential of the site and <br />affects smaller sites disproportionately. This criterion might not be the most effective and efficient way to <br />ensure access to recreation and open space for residents. <br />Applies To : Planned Unit Development <br />Existing Code Section(s): 9.8325(9) <br />Existing Code Language : <br /> (9) All proposed dwellings within the PUD are within 1/4 mile radius (measured from any point along the <br />perimeter of the development site) of an accessible recreation area or open space that is at least 1 <br />acre in size and will be available to residents . <br />A.
