The Comprehensive Plan guides this area as Mixed Use which allows a mixture of housing, jobs and/or retail services uses within close proximity to each other. The area also provides another setting for high density residential land uses. The proposed use and rezoning to a residential PUD is supported by the Comprehensive Plan and is similar to surrounding land uses. Site Plan rd The site lays out with a single driveway entrance on 183 Ave. NW leading to a central parking/drive area with all four duplex buildings facing the center of the parking area. The parking/drive area will be privately owned and maintained. Townhome standards require one-half guest parking space per unit in an off-street parking lot or private drive. The site plan identifies 12 off-street parking stalls on the site, which satisfies the ordinance standards. Each home also has a two-stall garage. A drainage pond is located on the southeast corner of the site in an existing drainage and utility easement. Previous approvals indicate the easement was set aside for stormwater management and the proposed use is allowed in the easement. The stormwater pond functions as a dry infiltration pond, doesn’t hold water, and does not trigger the 45 foot setback and buffer requirements. Engineering and Utilities The property is graded to direct runoff to the perimeter of the site which is then directed to swales and ultimately to the stormwater pond. All homes will be served by city sewer and water. Landscaping City ordinances require 33 trees to be planted on the property. The property has numerous mature trees on the site today. Once the construction limits have been finalized, staff will review the site with the applicant to calculate the number of trees, if any, that must be planted to meet city ordinances. Applicable Regulations Zone Change In reviewing a proposed amendment, consideration shall be given to existing conditions within the area directly and indirectly affected by the proposal, the conservation of property values, the use to which the property affected is being devoted at the time, and relevant provisions, if any, in the land use plan. The proposed use complies with the guidance provided in the land use plan. Conditional Use Permit/PUD The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The residential use will not detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties. However, the residents of the future townhomes may be impacted by the existing business and residential uses in the area. 2. Will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
