Planning & Zoning Board April 14, 2004 Page 6 Staff stated applicant had 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 residence for people with disabilities. This project includes an odd mixture of actions because of the existing land use category and zoning. Staff indicated 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. Staff noted 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. Staff reviewed their analysis and recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Preliminary Plat /PUD, subject to the following conditions: 1. The comprehensive plan amendment must obtain the approval of the Metropolitan Council prior to any further City project approvals. The rezoning and preliminary plat are contingent upon the comprehensive plan amendment approval. 2. This approval provides for use of the duplex group residential facility for foster care for developmentally disabled persons. Alternative uses under different county and /or state license shall be subject to City review and state statutory requirements, and at the City's discretion may require an amendment of the planned unit development. 3. The project shall be final platted in two phases. The group resident duplex may be final platted in 2004. The ten single - family lots shall not be final platted until 2005. 4. The conditional use permit approved in 1996 to allow the construction of the church is still in effect. Future expansion of the church shall be as approved with the conditional use permit. 5. The duplex residential facility shall be constructed as depicted on the plans included as part of this approval. 6. The relocation of sanitary sewer and water services may occur within the 2004, phase one final plat because these utilities already existed. However, the construction of the Oakwood Lane street extension shall not occur until final plat approval of the single family lots in phase two, in 2005. All lots and units shall connect to City sanitary sewer and water. 7. Park dedication of $1,665 per unit shall be paid. Park dedication for the group residence, two units, shall be paid when that lot if final platted. Park dedication for the ten single - family lots shall be paid with that final plat. 8. The new plat must obtain approval by the Rice Creek Watershed District prior to final plat approval by the City Council. DRAFT MINUTES • •
