• • • AGENDA ITEM V. B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: March 10, 2004 TOPIC: Public Hearing: • Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Low Density Resid. • Rezoning to Planned Unit Development • Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat Oakwood View Rice Creek Covenant Church BACKGROUND The Rice Creek Covenant Church has submitted an application to further develop its current site at 125 Ash Street. The application includes several elements. The goal is to create ten single family detached home lots on the north part of the property as well as a lot for a duplex on the southern part of the property. The duplex is intended for a group home for people with disabilities. This project includes an odd mixture of actions because of the existing land use category and zoning. The following approvals are necessary to accommodate the proposal: 1. Amend the comprehensive plan to change the site from Public Semi- Public to Low Density Sewered Residential. 2. Rezoning of the southern portion from R -1X to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for mixed uses: the existing church and the group home. (The existing R1 -X zoning already accommodates the single family lots on the north.) 3. PUD development stage plan/preliminary plat A conditional use permit (CUP) was approved by the City in 1996 to provide for building the church. That CUP approval included a three -phase plan. Each new building must undergo a site plan review, but would not require a CUP amendment review. However, the CUP did not include a residential facility, as is being proposed now. Therefore, the CUP is not relevant here inasmuch as no additions to the church building itself are being proposed. The zoning ordinance provides for two different types of PUD. If only residential uses were included in the project, the PUD would require only a conditional use permit. However, the church and the group residence is a mix of uses. A mixed use PUD requires a rezoning to PUD.
