The General track is proposed to be called “General/Discretionary” and the <br />Needed Housing track is proposed to be called “Housing/Clear and Objective.” It also replaces the term “needed <br />housing” with “housing,” consistent with the state law requirement that proposals including housing, not just <br />“needed housing,” are entitled to clear and objective approval criteria. <br />9.8320 Tentative Planned Unit Development Approval Criteria- General/Discretionary.

Applicability is clear as the approval criteria for each of the three <br />application types will include a criterion requiring compliance with the transition standards. In addition, the <br />transition standards start with an applicability statement that identifies the three application types and <br />proposed uses subject to the standards. <br />(3)[The PUD provides a buffer area between the proposed development and <br />surrounding properties by providing at least a 30 foot wide landscape area along <br />the perimeter of the PUD according to EC 9.6210(7).] May 20, 2019, Work Session – Item 2
