Summary: The applicants are seeking feedback on a PUD concept plan for
redevelopment of the Tartan Park Golf Course into the Royal Oaks Golf
Club. As presented, the redevelopment would include significant
upgrades to the golf course itself, and the introduction of residential
housing on the periphery of the course and property. Many issues must
be overcome before this development moves forward including a
comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning of the residential portion
of the proposed project. Concept Plan is the stage where all such issues
are identified for the applicant so they can decide whether or not to
proceed. Approval at this stage does not guarantee any future approvals,
but rather grants the applicant the right to file a preliminary plan
submittal.
Guidance: The review criteria for concept plans is very broad and subjective, so

approval or denial at this stage is less about compliance with specific
standards, and more about determining whether the proposal is best
for this property, best for the surrounding properties, and best for the
City as a whole.
■ The commission is asked to consider all facts outlined in the report,
and make a recommendation of approval or denial for Council
consideration. Recommended changes should also be brought up at
this time.
■ Any recommendation of approval for the concept plan should be
conditioned on the applicant successfully gaining approval of the
needed comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning prior to
approval of any future preliminary PUD application. At the
applicant's own risk, such applications may run concurrently with
offset review dates before the City Council.
