IRONBRIDGE PUD
MINOR AMENDMENT
DIRECTOR DECISION MARCH 11, 2014
An owner within the PUD requested that the PUD Guide be modified to provide setback
information consistent with the approved Final Plat for lronbridge PUD, Phase II, Filings 1, 2
and 3. The final plat (approved in June, 2006) states that Lots 250·287 (Villas) setbacks are
"NA" while the PUD Guide provides setback restrictions for this development area.
The Club Villa Zone District is located proximate to the clubhouse facilities and this zone was
contemplated as a small lot community with single-family attached and detached units, in
addition to deed-restricted affordable housing. The minimum lot size is 4,000 square feet for
detached units and no minimum lot size for attached units.
B.HISTORY
The Rose Ranch PUD was approved by Resolution 98-80 in July of 1998. This PUD was
permitted a maximum of 25,000 square feet of commercial buildings with commercial uses
limited to those associated with golf course and day care, 10% of the total housing units
required to be attainable housing, no maximum density was included in the resolution.
Resolution 99-067 approved a PUD Amendment and which includes a land use summary for
the 533.5-acre PUD indicating 322 units on 115.88-acres, 26-acres of roads and 391-acres of
Open Space (including the golf course). The resolution includes a summary of changes to the
Affordable Housing component, and well as permitted uses in the Open Space with minor
changes to open space amounts.
Resolution 2004·20 approved a PUD amendment renaming Rose Ranch PUD to lronbridge
PUD. The Affordable Housing component was also further refined in this amendment. The
resolution referenced numerous exhibits which were not attached. These missing exhibits
included the zoning text and zoning map for the development.
Resolution 2004-26 was a resolution to correct the missing documents referenced in
Resolution 2004·20, however this resolution failed to include a zoning map (PUD Plan) of the
PUD.
Resolution 2006-35 amended the PUD zoning by allowing habitable accessory detached
structures within Planning Areas 1-19 and 21, which are known as a Casita Unit (studio,
workshop or bedroom but kitchen prohibited). Planning Area 19 amended frontyard setback to
10-feet, and increased density from 74 to 78 units to allow for 4 affordable units. Planning
Area 22 was amended to increase density from 10 to 20 units to allow for 10 affordable units in
the area, reduced ROW to 26-feet and increase the boundary to accommodate the affordable
units.
Resolution 2008-41 specified how to measure building height in Phases II and II I.
