Amended PUD Plan – Substantial Modification
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant has recently updated the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Mapping to
reflect consistency with the current approvals for the Lake Springs Ranch PUD. This edit
was completed in 2023. Technical mapping steps to ensure the amendment is properly
reflected in online mapping resources is underway by the County GIS Department.
The Applicant is also looking to update the PUD including removing some properties from
the PUD, revisions to phasing plans, addressing areas held under conservation easements
and other refinements to the details of the PUD Plan for the properties remining within the
PUD.
These amendments would be considered a Substantial Modification based on Section 6-
203(A)(2) which includes requirements that modifications to the approved phasing plan be
considered a Substantial Modification. The other proposed changes to the PUD support
such a determination.

REVIEW PROCESS
See Attached Flow Chart
SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
Outlined below is a preliminary assessment of submittal requirements and potential waiver
requests. Final determination of submittal requirements and submittal waivers may require
subsequent meetings with Community Development Staff.
• General Application Materials, including ownership, authorizations, title commitments,
listing of all owners within the PUD, lists of adjacent owners with 200 ft., mineral
owners research and listing, payment agreement forms, etc.
• Existing PUD Plan Documentation for the Current Approvals
• Existing Approval Resolutions
• Existing PUD Plan Mapping
• Proposed modifications to the PUD Documentation and Phasing Plan
3
• Proposed PUD Phasing Map and PUD Plan Map – reflecting changes to the project,
conservation easements, plat vacations etc.
• Updated PUD Plan Guide if necessary
• Updated documentation/engineering representations on infrastructure and will serve
letters to document current status, availability of services, and consistency with the
proposed PUD modifications.
• Identification of any changes in conditions or status of the property relevant to the
request.
• Amendment Justification Report
• Any submittal waiver requests and responses to the waiver review criteria
• Documentation as needed to demonstrate ongoing compliance with Section 6-401
Development Standards
Updated Staff Comment: Where ownership of portions of the PUD have changed, the
Application will need to include authorization from all owners of property within the PUD,
along with Statements of Authority (recorded) for any LLC’s. The County Attorney’s Office
will review the authorizations and ownership documentation.
IV. REZONING REQUEST
A PUD Amendment to remove property from the PUD would ideally be heard concurrently
with a rezoning to establish the appropriate new zone district for the affected property being
removed from the PUD. The rezoning application would be initiated by the owner or owners
of just that property removed from the PUD. Staff anticipates that a condition of approval for
the PUD Amendment would likely include completion of the rezoning process.
Section 4-113 contains details on rezoning Applications. Submittal requirements are also
contained in Table 4-201 and include:
• General Application Materials
• Vicinity Map
• Rezoning Justification Report
REVIEW PROCESS
See Attached Flow Chart
