Memo to Planning Commission/P 979-12 <br />January 27, 1998 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />Please refer to the staff report dated December 23, 1997 for further <br />information. <br /> <br />Summa~. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission has four applications to consider this evening: <br />land use plan amendment, zone change, conditional use permit and <br />preliminary plat. There is also a two-part variance applications which will be <br />acted on separately, however has a direct influence on the plan which will be <br />approved. The land use plan amendment and rezoning work together to <br />coincide with the proposed plan submitted by Guardian Angels. With <br />planned unit development the Commission has the discretion to approve the <br />PUD rezoning based upon an acceptable plan. <br /> <br />The property is currently zoned R2b which is a two family residential zoning <br />district. Based on the planned unit development, a portion of the property <br />will be changed to accommodate a commercial component. As shown on the <br />proposed development plans, this could possibly be a 43,000 sq. ft. building if <br />the variance to exceed the maximum impervious area is granted. I mention <br />this because the Commission will be addressing the issue regarding the <br />variance of the 25% impervious area which is necessitated in a great deal by <br />the commercial development. If the Commission sees that the commercial <br />component of the PUD demands too great of a variance from the Shoreland <br />Ordinance, the planned unit development can be adjusted to reduce the <br />amount of commercial. Other than this issue, staff believes the request to a <br />planned unit development is the best zoning option, given the makeup of the <br />project with or without a commercial component. <br /> <br />As far as the conditional use permit and preliminary plat requests, these two <br />applications will be used to approve the plans for the planned unit <br />development as well as the platting of the property which will be consistent <br />with the building configurations and the lot layout. The conditional use <br />permit will specifically approve the overall concept plan and at the request of <br />Guardian Angels, approve their first phase which are the townhomes and 60 <br />units of assisted hving. The additional 20 units of assisted living and any <br />commercial component will require a conditional use permit at a later date. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Ao <br /> <br />Recommend approval of the Land Use Plan Amendment from MR <br />(Medium Density Residential) and HR (High Density Residential) and <br />HB (Highway Business) based on the following findings: <br /> <br />f:\shrdoc\planning\pc\p97-12x4.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
