• • • AGENDA ITEM VI. B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: December 13, 2000 TOPIC: Discussion Item: Dellwood LLC/Target Project Concept Plan BACKGROUND Staff have been working with Dellwood LLC on a proposed retail development in the northeast quadrant of the Lake Drive/I -35W interchange. The project consists of a Target Superstore and six additional retail buildings. The project is still in the conceptual stage and we are bringing it through the Preservation Development informal review process. The Environmental Board discussed the project at its last meeting. We expect to keep both boards informed of the progress of this project on an ongoing basis. The project layout follows a standard, suburban retail development model with a "big box" retail anchor and a number of "satellite" retail locations. Other than the location of the extended Apollo Drive east of Lake Drive, the project bears little relation to the Town Center design of Calthorpe that has been the focus of discussion for some time. Because this represents a departure from the Town Center vision, staff has discussed the project with the City Council to ask direction as to how we should proceed. The City Council directed staff to work with the developer to incorporate desirable architectural elements while acknowledging and accepting that the project departs from the overall vision represented by the Calthorpe design for a traditional neighborhood development. Staff and the developer are working to incorporate some special pedestrian- oriented design features as well as some special architectural elements. The goal is an above - average shopping development. Preliminary Project Summary: site area Target Superstore additional retail approx. 40 acres 174,000 sf 120,000 sf parking 1200 to 1500 spaces Existing comprehensive plan: Shopping Center Draft new comprehensive plan: Commercial Existing Zoning: SC Shopping Center.
