Background/Discussion The applicant has submitted a Conditional Use Permit to support development of three 44-unit apartment buildings. The project will be developed in multiple phases and building designs and layouts would appear like the first phase of Jackson Hills constructed in 2018. The subject site is currently undeveloped and sits at a low elevation. A wetland delineation did not reveal any existing wetlands, but the soils will be challenging for development. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for High-Density Residential uses, supporting the proposed apartment development. Engineering and Utilities The new apartment buildings will connect to city services, and all stormwater/utility plans will require approval from city staff. Applicable Regulations 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. Surrounding parcels are largely developed; uses include Lions Park, single-family homes, a religious institution, and phase one of the Jackson Hills project. The proposed use will not detrimentally impact the use and enjoyment of nearby properties. 2. Will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The property is guided for high-density residential uses, including apartment buildings. The use will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. The surrounding area is largely developed, and the additional use is taking advantage of a unique parcel in the area. Although the development will require significant on-site soil mitigation, the use will not impede the normal and orderly development of surrounding properties. 4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. Staff has included a condition of the developer to verify long-term dewatering impacts, ensuring no negative impacts to city facilities. With the included condition, the use will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares.
