Rural Residential Districts. The Rural Residential Districts are predominantly single-family principal uses with accessory uses and structures that support the rural character of the City. There are two distinct development patterns in this category including historically platted riparian and non -riparian lots abutting or in proximity to the lakes, and general rural residential patterns with larger lot configurations. The lands zoned for rural residential uses are categorized by two designations and are intended to provide a direct correlation between dimensional standards, use, and development patterns of the area. (A) Purpose of Rural Residential General (RR-G. Lands zoned Rural Residential General (RR-G) are established to provide for principal residential use with estate or large -lot development patterns. The RR-G District includes lot or parcel configurations that are generally unplatted, including mostly non -riparian land. The RR-G District areas are guided General Rural in the Comprehensive Plan. I. Rural Residential General Dimensional Standards.

The Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Open Space Conservation Planned Unit Development (OS-PUD) are Special Districts within the City that are intended to allow flexibility from the strict density and use standards established in the Base Zoning District. New subdivisions or projects that meet the standards and criteria as defined below may be rezoned to a Special District which will be tailored specifically to the approved development plan for the subdivision. Subd. 2.Purpose of Planned Unit Development (PUD) District. The purpose of the PUD District is to allow for more flexibility in development design than is possible under the Base Zoning District and conventional subdivision processes. Possible flexibility may include variation from dimensional standards, permitting more than one principal structure on a parcel of land, etc. The intent of the PUD District is to allow for: (A) A mix of land uses. (B) A mix of housing types. (C) Creative site design that varies from certain land use regulations while incorporating design elements that exceed the minimum requirements of this Chapter and are in harmony with the adopted Design Guidelines. (D) Coordinated plans for landscaping, buildings, sidewalks or trails and parking. (E) Preservation and enhancement of the natural environment. (F) Enhancement of community character through design consistent with historical development patterns; and (G) Efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets, thereby lowering the City's maintenance and investment costs. Subd. 3. Eligible Land for Rezoning to Planned Unit Development. Certain properties would benefit from allowing flexibility from certain dimensional standards, and the proposed rezoning to PUD must meet the following criteria: (A) Subject property must be zoned and comply with Table 153.400.020-1. (B) Planned Unit Development Density and Dimensional Standards. I. Densi . The maximum density of a PUD shall not exceed the maximum density permitted in the Base Zoning District. II. Dimensional Standards. The City may grant deviations from some of the dimensional standards established within the Base Zoning District. Deviations may include minimum setbacks, minimum lot sizes, minimum number of off-street parking spaces, maximum building height, maximum lot coverage, or minimum frontage, if it is determined that the deviation supports the purpose and objectives of this Section. III, Design and Development Standards. The following design and development standards shall apply to any PUD: SECTION 153.200 ZONING DISTRICTS Adopted 09.20.2022, Amended 04.18.2023 (Ordinance No. 2023-03) 153.200 page-25 City of Scandia, MN CHAPTER 153: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) a. Relationsbip to adjacent areas. The design of a PUD shall take into account the relationship of the site to the surrounding areas. The perimeter of the PUD shall be designed to minimize any undesirable impact of the development on adjacent properties and, conversely, to minimize any undesirable impact of adjacent land use and development characteristics on the PUD. b. Utilities. In any PUD, all utilities, including telephone, electricity, gas and cable, shall be installed underground. c. Streets. All streets shall be public streets. All streets shall conform to the specific design standards approved as part of the PUD. In no such specific design standards have been proposed, all streets in the PUD shall conform to the design standards contained in the subdivision regulations. d. Phasing of Development. All development conducted in phases shall be carried out in accordance with the approved staging plan. All the developer's responsibilities for prior phases shall be satisfied prior to commencement of activities in subsequent phases, unless otherwise approved in the staging plan. e.
