The key issues of the Planned Unit Development Master Plan relate to compatibility with the surrounding low density residential area.
- The PUD Master Plan limits the size of new buildings to 3,000 square feet for the addition and 3,072 square feet for the accessory building.
- The building setbacks are the same as in the “R-1” Single Family Dwelling District – 30 feet front, 30 feet rear, 7 feet side.
- A PUD note limits outside storage by a condition that includes screening requirements, landscaping, and placement.
- Outside storage shall be approved administratively by the Planning Department on a site development plan.
The subject properties are located within an area designated Residential Low Density on the North Topeka West Neighborhood Plan. The PUD accommodates the reasonable expansion of a light industrial use that has existed since 1971 on the site in a manner that provides for design standards and limitations on the use. The PUD incorporates design standards and restrictions on outdoor storage
