Preliminary Planned Residential Development <br />Planning Commission Report; 5-21-19 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 41 <br />(cont.) Furthermore, the land in question is guided by the 2040 Comp Plan as a <br />“Mixed Use Neighborhood Node,” and the density at 32 units per acre is <br />within the targeted density range; the land in question is identified as an area <br />with redevelopment potential; and the new land use guidance was specifically <br />intended to incentivize improvements like the ones being requested. And <br />finally, the Mixed Use Neighborhood designation intends for multi-family <br />buildings and townhomes to be the primary vehicle for residential land uses. <br /> Are the proposed improvements well suited to the site and surrounding <br />lands? <br />Staff Recommendation: Yes. Review of the proposed plans show the <br />buildings can be accommodated on this site safely and in a way that <br />harmoniously works with surrounding lands. <br /> Have the applicant’s taken necessary steps to mitigate impacts? <br />Staff Recommendation: Yes. Provided all suggested conditions of approval <br />are addressed, staff does believe that identified impacts can and will be <br />mitigated. <br /> <br />Commission <br />Options: <br />The Planning Commission has the following options: <br />A) RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST based on the <br />applicant’s submittals and findings of fact. <br />B) RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE REQUEST based on the applicant’s <br />submittals and findings of fact. <br />C) TABLE THE ITEM and request additional information. <br />Based on a complete application date of 4/8/19, the standard deadline for a <br />decision on these requests would be 6/7/19. However, because of uncertainty <br />over when this matter would get before the Planning Commission and/or City <br />Council, staff has already exercised the City’s right to extend the review period <br />out an additional 60 days. Accordingly, the final deadline for action is 8/6/19. <br /> <br />Template Denial <br />Motion: <br />(not recommended) <br /> “I move that we recommend the City Council deny the requested preliminary <br />planned residential development based on the following findings of fact:” <br />o (provide findings to support your conclusion) <br /> <br />
