E04y1� ,.,�� Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 9.2 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Work Session October 19, 2015 Zack Carlton,Planning Manager Item Description Reviewed by Concept Review for Modern Construction Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Provide informal, nonbinding feedback on the proposed development on the south side of Yale Court. Background/Discussion Jesse Hartung, owner of Modern Construction,is seeking feedback for his proposed development of the city-owned property on Yale Court. Modern Construction focuses on high quality, environmentally friendly buildings. Many of their projects receive the highest ratings for energy efficiency and sustainability. Mr. Hartung will utilize the same level of craftsmanship for the proposed mixed use development project and plans to create a showcase building. Plans identify using the Yale Court property for a five story structure with 90+ residential units and 12+ leasable commercial spaces. The project also incorporates cohousing units where multiple families (generations) share living and cooking spaces but have separate bedrooms. The latest green building techniques will be used and plans include green roof agriculture, running tracks, and other active uses to promote healthy living for the residents. Mr. Hartung also owns the 11 acres along the river and below the Yale Court property. This area has the opportunity for a city park, expanded recreational opportunities, and additional space for green building practices like geo thermal. Analysis Land Use and Zoning The property is currently zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and is part of the Mississippi Ridge development. The proposed use is not permitted in the current PUD agreement, and will require establishing a new PUD to account for the change in use and the proposed deviations from city ordinances. Changes from the ordinance include reduced setbacks for front yard,rear yard, and bluff lines. There are also a number of concerns relating to the Wild and Scenic River Front ordinance that may be addressed during the PUD process. The Environmental Division has been working closely with the applicant to begin identifying potential solutions. Development in this area is guided by the FAST plan and the property is split between two sub-areas; existing residential along the river and service commercial along Hwy 10. The proposed uses support the FAST and Comprehensive Plans. Site Plan Access to the site will be from the extension of Yale Court and connection to 1701h Ave near the daycare.
