GENERALIZED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR THE
FORMER DANA CAMPUS AREA #1

Introduction:
This generalized development plan is intended to establish the land uses that will be permitted in
PUD Area #1 on the former Dana College campus. As a city -initiated application, a detailed
development plan is not required. All future projects following this city -initiated PUD -1 (General
PUD) will require subsequent approval of specific projects through the normal PUD -1 or PUD -2
submission and approval procedures.
Site History:
This generalized development plan includes the entire area shown in Exhibit A — Area Map for
PUD -1 (General PUD) Planned Unit Development Overlay District. The area is approximately
103.4 acres and is located on the former Dana College campus, north of the UPRR line and west
of 27th Street.
The Site is currently zoned RM — Residential Medium Density District.
Following the closure of Dana College in 2010, numerous potential development concepts have
been examined by subsequent owners of the property. For more than seven years, none of these
development concepts have proceeded beyond the conceptual stage.
In December 2017, the Dana Campus property was donated to Angels Share, Inc. The current
owner desires to use the existing structures in a "mixed use" manner similar to how the property
has been used previously.
Proposed Land Uses:
A PUD Overlay District is intended to permit flexibility in the regulation of land development and
to encourage innovation in land use and variety in design, layout, and type of structures
constructed. A PUD District also requires approved land uses or activities be compatible with
adjacent land uses and in accordance with the current Comprehensive Plan.
In addition to the Permitted Principal Uses already allowed in the base (parent) zoning district, the
following compatible uses shall be permitted as uses by
(1) Attached single family dwellings.
(2) Two family dwellings.
(3) Residential condominiums pursuant to Section 1116 of the City of Blair Zoning Regulations.
(4) Multiple family dwellings with forty-eight (48) or fewer living units.
(5) Dormitory, Fraternity or Sorority.

(6) Family day care home, not operated within a private dwelling, group day care home, or day
care center;
(7) Public and quasi -public uses of an educational, recreational or religious type including public
and parochial elementary schools, junior high schools; high schools and colleges; churches,
nursery schools; private nonprofit schools and colleges; parsonages, and other religious
institutions, public parks, public playgrounds;
(8) Public uses of an administrative, public service or cultural type including city, county, state or
federal administrative centers and courts, libraries, museums, art galleries, police and fire stations
and other public buildings, structures, and facilities;
(9) Public and private charitable institutions;
(10) Private clubs and lodges.
(11) Athletic complexes and health centers.
(13) Movie production facilities and/or studios;
(14) Theaters and concert venues.
(15) Professional offices;
In addition to the Excepted Uses already allowed in the base (parent) zoning district, the City
Council mU permit the following conditional uses as exceptions in accordance with Article 14 of
the City of Blair Zoning Regulations:
(1) Multiple family dwellings with greater than forty-eight (48) living units;
(2) Restaurants, not including drive-in restaurants.
(3) Parking lots.
(4) Any Principal Permitted Use in the CCB - Central Business District (as specified in Section
802.02), or any Principal Permitted Use in the A/CH — Agricultural/Commercial Highway District
(as specified in Section 801.02), when limited to:
a) the overall total floor space allotted to all such uses in the structure or building is less
than 50% of the entire floor space of the structure or building, and
b) the total floor space allotted to any such individual use is not greater than 2,500 square
feet.

Other Reasonable Modifications of Existing Zoning Regulations:
Subsequent approvals of specific projects through the normal PUD -1 or PUD -2 submission and
approval procedures may establish reasonable modifications to minimum yard requirements,
maximum lot coverages, maximum heights, and sign regulations.
Proposed Transportation Plan:
The former Dana College campus currently has three internal sections of private drives, connecting
with Hansen Drive, 30th Street, and College Drive. The lack of public road layout and connectivity
with adjacent streets isolates the area and presents difficulty for efficient vehicular movement and
emergency access. The campus area currently consists of numerous tax lots, and is expected to be
platted into subdivision lots for more efficient land use. Newly created lots must front onto public
rights of way. The dedication of public right of way along the existing private drives must be part
of any platting that occurs.
The City of Blair Trails System runs along part of this area. When public streets are extended
through this area, or when subdivisions are created, the City should consider extending the Trail
System through the area.
Proposed Utilities/Infrastructure:
Water mains, gas, electric, communication, sanitary sewer mains and storm sewer mains are
available adjacent to or near the northern half of the area, with some public mains running through
the area already. The southern area of the campus does not have a sanitary sewer line adjacent to
that area. In order for public streets and subdivisions to be constructed in the southern half of this
area, a sanitary sewer main must be extended to area.
The southern area of the campus is bisected by gas mains owned by Northern Natural Gas and
Black Hills Energy. The City and utility companies should consider rerouting these gas mains to
the safest locations when the area is platted and public streets are constructed.
