• AGENDA ITEM VII. C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: February 14, 2007 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING: Rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) and PUD Development Plan Comforts of Home, CORE Development BACKGROUND CORE Development proposes a planned unit development (PUD) that includes commercial uses and several types of senior residential development. The site is located on the west side of Hodgson Road, approximately 300 feet north of the Co. Rd. J intersection. The property consists of 17 acres with about 1000' of frontage on Hodgson Road. The senior residential would be on two lots on the northern part of the site and commercial development would include three lots on the southern part. The proposal does not include the existing liquor store, insurance office, or closed bar /restaurant. It only includes the largely vacant parcel to the north of them Because the proposal includes a mix of residential and commercial uses, a rezoning PUD is needed rather than a conditional use permit PUD. The PUD requirements do not fully address a mixed use project such as this, so there are some challenges in applying the letter of the ordinance to a proposal with both commercial and residential elements. The City has been preparing a Master Plan for development in the area on both sides of Hodgson Road. The purpose of the Master Plan is to create a framework to guide development in the study area. Development should be compared to the Master Plan framework as well as other aspects of the City's Comprehensive Plan and ordinances. ANALYSIS The following summarizes the project proposal: Gross Site Area 17.2 acres Upland Area 16.7 acres Residential Area 7.3 acres Commercial Area 8.2 acres dedicated right of way 1.3 acres Condominiums 48 Senior Apartments 41 Assisted Living Units 42 Commercial 77,450 sf
