DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on October 11, 2012.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow the construction of a 104-unit assisted living facility and a 52-unit senior apartment building on three undeveloped parcels in two different taxing districts. The CPD plans and text include landscaping, exterior building commitments, lighting controls, internal connectivity, and access to the church complex to the north. Variances for increased density, reduced setbacks due to right-of way dedication, maneuvering over property lines, and a reduction in the required number of parking spaces are included in the request. The site is located within the boundaries of The Northwest Plan (2007), which recommends single or two-unit residential development or religious uses for this location. Staff can support institutional-type uses such as senior housing at this location given that there are several religious and educational institutions within this neighborhood. In addition, appropriate development standards which will ensure compatibility with surrounding residential uses have been provided.
