If denial of the plat should occur,it shall accompany recommendations or determinations by findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section 30-375. Planning Commission Meeting Summary No one spoke for or against the request and staff has not received any comments since the Planning Commission meeting. During the Planning Commission meeting, staff reviewed the master plan and discussed the progress being made towards implementing the plan. The Planning Commission,with the understanding that discussions on implementation of the master plan would continue,unanimously recommended approval of the request. Additional information Since the Planning Commission meeting on April 25, 2017, staff has had discussions with legal counsel regarding the master plan language in the Plan. It has been affirmed,the Plan identifies the need for a master plan prior to rezoning. Based on this information, staff is recommending the preliminary plat request be denied. Staff has a strong desire to continue working with the applicant to facilitate the master plan,assemble the required properties, and demolish the required structures. Staff believes this can be accomplished within a timeframe that allows the applicant to maintain their desired construction start date of October 1, 2017, as well as provide for the orderly development of the area,benefiting the community as a whole. Staff has included three action items for the current preliminary plat request,which are described below. 1) Deny the current plat applications. This option will provide the city with additional time to facilitate development of the master plan. Implementation of the master plan,which includes shifting the project to the north, still requires rezoning, approval of a CUP, and approval of the plat applications. Land use application could be submitted in July. 2) Approve the current plat applications. The current application isolates residential uses between industrial operations, does not create a plan for efficient development of the remaining parcels within the block, extends the timeline for implementation of the quiet zone (potentially costing additional taxpayer dollars), and does not allow for the county preferred location of a replacement for 6th Street as part of future improvements to Proctor Ave NW. 3) The applicant may extend,in writing, their application to allow further work to be completed on the implementation of the master plan. Financial Impact None Statutory Review Period Per State Statute 15.99 the required 120-day review period ends on June 27, 2017.
