Public Notice
The city council of the city of Medina has adopted Ordinance No. 484, an ordinance
creating regulations for the Conservation Design Planned Unit Development (CD-PUD) district.
The purpose of this district is to preserve the City's ecological resources, wildlife corridors, scenic
views, and rural character. A property owner may request to subdivide and developer their property
following the CD-PUD regulations as an alternative to the standard underlying zoning district. The
CD-PUD offers flexibility to certain zoning requirements in order to making it possible for the
developer to place a portion of the property into a permanent conservation easement. The
ordinance allows the City to offer increased density and reduce the following requirements: lot
size, setbacks, upland buffers, tree preservation, and landscaping requirements. The amount of
flexibility, if any, provided by the City would be based on the quality of the resources protected by
the conservation easement.
The full text of Ordinance No. 484 is available from the city administrator -clerk at Medina city hall
during regular business hours.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina that the city
administrator -clerk keep a copy of the ordinance in his office at city hall for public inspection and
that he post a full copy of the ordinance in a public place within the city.
