e e e of general and specialty retail space, Class I and Class II restaurants, auto repair, and two financial institutions. The project has gone through several revisions up to this point. In the attached report to the Planning Commission are noteworthy changes incorporated into the plans that have taken place since the Planning Commission held their last public hearing meeting on June 10, 1993. REVIEW PROCESS If the Council decides to move forward and approve this Planned Unit Development, it will be the first action in a series considered by the Planning Commission and City Council prior to commencing construction. In the attached Planning Commission report I have outlined a tentative schedule of actions that the Planning Commission and City Council can expect to have brought before them. Two actions that will receive special attention are the feasibility report and review of the specific site plans for each phase of the project. First of all, the feasibility report will address the necessary street and utility improvements to accommodate this development. The associated costs of these improvements will also be calculated and presented to the Council at a later date. Secondly, review of the site plans for each phase of the project will allow the Planning Commission and City Council the opportunity to address specific issues such as location of landscaping, tree preservation, and screening of the service areas behind the building. This review will be based on the project development plan approved as part of the conditional use permit for the commercial Planned Unit Development. In addition to the two items mentioned above, staff believes it would be appropriate to amend the recommendation that was presented to the Planning Commission to include the City Council have the opportunity to review the Planned Unit Development agreement. This agreement will set forth the development standards for Elk Park Center, responsibilities of the developer's to perform and complete certain improvements, and other related items to protect the integrity of a Planned Unit Development. SUMMARY OF THE OCTOBER 19 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING The primary issues of concern expressed by the residents focused on location of development, traffic, storm drainage, and safety of children. In addition, there were comments directed towards whether this project met the seven standards for granting a conditional use permit. As part of staff's recommendation to the City Council, each of those seven standards have been addressed.
