MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />AUGUST 10, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br />adjacent uses. She reviewed the zoning and future land use map and provided details about the <br />site. She reviewed the proposed site plan and renderings. She reviewed the criteria that are used <br />when considering a Zoning Map Amendment and related findings of staff. She provided <br />additional explanation on how a PUD is used as a tool and more specifically how it would be <br />used in this case related to site design, density and setbacks. She provided additional details on <br />the staff review that has been completed and comments provided from different departments. <br />She advised of the public agencies that have been notified and noted that they have not received <br />any negative comments. She noted that the public hearing for this item will be held on <br />September 13, 2023. <br /> <br />Commissioner Masrud asked and received confirmation that this number of stories and height <br />would be allowed in other areas of the city. He commented that the ten additional units in <br />density being requested would be about half of a floor and therefore seems to be a reasonable <br />request. <br /> <br />Chair Johnson asked if there has been discussion with the County about traffic analysis, <br />recognizing that there would be less traffic because of the senior occupants. She asked if there <br />could be complications with the driveway and railroad. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director replied that the roadway would be built to City standard, <br />there would just be a reduced setback between the roadway and property line. <br /> <br />Chair Johnson commented that perhaps there could be a light that flashes when there is a train, <br />signaling that no left turns are allowed at that time. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director commented that she would review that with the County. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thorson asked the requested setback reduction from the required ten feet. <br /> <br />Zach Rosen, representing the applicant, commented that at County Road B east they have a <br />setback of 15 feet. He believed the setback would be around nine feet, noting that they are <br />working within the topography, keeping it to the east to the extent possible. <br /> <br />Chair Johnson asked if there are plans to mitigate the freeway noise along with the railroad <br />noise. <br /> <br />Mr. Rosen provided details on the sound mitigation efforts they would be implementing in this <br />project. <br /> <br />Aaron Diedrich, Lupe Development, commented that they are a local developer based in <br />Roseville and reviewed some of their development experience. He commented that they do not <br />believe affordable housing has to look affordable and focus on nice features and materials. He <br />confirmed that this would be independent living and will remain senior living.
