Reouest by Orrin Thompson for an Amendment to the Preliminary Plat of River Park, Public Heanng -Case No. P 07-01 Planning Manager Jeremy Barnhart stated that the above-described applications have been deemed incomplete. A public hearing was advertised, so the Commission needs to open the public hearing and receive comments.

Request by 7040 Lakeland Partners for Conditional Use Permit for Elk Ridge Center Phase 4 (Aldi, Inc.) -Public Hearing -Case No. CU 07-27 Chair Lemke arrived at this time (6:40 p.m.) Staff report presented by Planner Chris Leeseberg. He reviewed the seven standards for granting a Conditional Use Permit, and explained how the application meets each standard. Mr. Leeseberg explained that the PUD agreement states that all site plan requests need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council via a public hearing. He stated that he will provide a review of the architecture as it pertains to the design standards, consistency of the building placement with the approved development, vehicular circulation, utilities and other issues. He noted that the use of the building is not being reviewed, as it is permitted use by both the Comprehensive Plan and zoning classification. Mr. Leesberg provided background information regarding the land use designation of the site, in relationship to the Comprehensive Plan. He also explained how the use conforms to the development plan for Elk Ridge Center. He then reviewed the details of his memo to the Commission regarding the revised site plan, including the building design, facade, entrance, roof lines, service/loading areas, site amenities, parking/landscaping, lighting and signage. Mr. Leeseberg stated that the location of the proposal is consistent with the Development Plan; the use is a Permitted Use in the Planned Unit Development Agreement; the use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; the building design meets the Elk Ridge Center Development Design Standards and the landscaping is consistent with the Development Plan; and that the Zero Lot Line Development complies with the standards set for in Section 30-654 of the City's Land Use Regulations. Commissioner Anderson stated that he would recommend including a condition that all roof top mechanical units be screened. He acknowledged that the applicant listened to the Planning Commission's concerns and has addressed their issues. Commissioner Stevens concurred with Commissioner Anderson. He thanked staff for going through each issue, line byline. Commissioner Anderson also thanked the developer for listening to their concerns and that he was pleased with the design. Commissioner Lemke suggested the added condition to state, "roof top view points for G and H shall be screened".
