The applicant has requested to vacate the existing plat of Park Wood Plaza PUD in order to
eliminate the platted PUD standards that are inconsistent with the current Unified
Development Code. The removal of the PUD standards will provide a plat that is current
and allows uses as designated by the Unified Development Code.
Additionally, a waiver is requested to Section 6.02.010 of the UDC that states, “All
development shall have direct access and frontage on one of the following: 1. A public
street, or 2. A public street via a public alley.” This request is for Lot 4 (upper left as shown

without direct frontage on a public street, with access provided by Lot 5, an existing central
access lot.
