Requested Action
To consider the subject zoning change request.
Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on February 21, 2017, and voted 6-1 to recommend approval with the conditions that: 1) a masonry wall be provided along the north and west boundaries; and, 2) drive-thru restaurant be limited to only one site. Commissioner Mills voted nay.
The applicant did not comply with part 1 of P&Z’s recommendation in the proposed development plans.
Description/History
First Reading
The current property owner is seeking a complete revision of the 2007 Planned Development. The new development plans would allow Natural Grocers on Lot 1 and other C-2 uses such as a restaurant with drive-through service, medical clinic, bank and event center on the remaining lots.
The property owner is requesting a waiver of the masonry wall as noted above and the tree planting along the north property line, where there is a significant grade difference between his property and the church’s property. Trees will be planted on the east end of this property line where the grade comes together.
A detailed site plan has been provided for the Natural Grocers. It shows a slight reduction in the building articulation from the required depth of 4’ to 2’. As subsequent lots develop, the developers will be required to submit detailed site plans for the City Council’s approval.
Second Reading
The developer is meeting with the homeowners on Wednesday, March 22, 2017. He is expected to have an updated presentation based on the discussion at the meeting.
Third Reading
The developer made the following changes to address comments and concerns:
- Limit permitted uses to the grocer and C-2 uses; uses requiring specific use permit will require separate application for SUP
- Restrict the height of pole lights within 50' of west property line to a max. of 20'
- Restrict building height on Lot 5 to a max. of 30' within 75' of the west property line
- Specify that all site lighting must be the type with full cut off to prevent light pollution
- Show the revised landscaping and screening along west and north property lines
