Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Planning Commission 5.3 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Public Hearing August 28, 2018 Zack Carlton, Planning Manager <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />River Walk – 17354 Zane Street NW <br />Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner <br />a. Zone Change from FAST to PUD, Case No. ZC <br />Reviewed by <br />18-05 <br /> <br />b. Conditional Use Permit to Establish a PUD, Case <br />No. CU 18-15 <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Continue, by motion, the request for a Zone Change and Conditional Use Permit to the September 25, <br />2018, Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The proposed River Walk project is a 103-unit apartment building located between the former Saxon <br />Motors site and the Elk River Lodge apartment building. The application package for this site includes a <br />Zone Change, Conditional Use Permit, Easement Vacation, and Simple Plat. At this time, due to the <br />complexity of the project and reviews/recommendations required of other governing bodies, staff <br />recommends continuing the Planning Commissions discussion of this project until September 25, 2018. <br /> <br /> The Parks and Recreation Commission will meet on September 12, 2018, to discuss the request <br />by the applicant for the city to accept park land along the river and below the proposed apartment <br />site. Additionally, the applicant proposes access to the publicly owned park site to be through the <br />privately owned parking lot for the apartment building. <br /> <br /> The City Council will meet on September 17, 2018, to review the Simple Plat and Easement <br />Vacation requests made by the applicant. Their discussion will also be informed by the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission’s recommendations regarding access to a potential park along the river. <br /> <br />The recommendations and approvals made by the governing bodies during these meetings may change <br />the current site plan to the point that would require additional reviews by the Planning Commission. <br />Additionally, items noted in the comment letter dated August 15, 2018, may require significant changes to <br />the site plan. <br /> <br />For the reasons stated above, staff recommends continuing the discussion on this item to September 25, <br />2018, in order for the Planning Commission to have enough information to adequately review the <br />proposed Zone Change and Conditional Use Permit. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br /> <br />
