MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development DATE: December 8, 1982 SUBJECT: WAYNE RERR/KNOLLWOOD GREEN CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT At the December 15, 1982 Council Agenda Session, the Council briefly discussed the conditional use permit and set the public hearing date for the above item for December 13, 1982. At that Agenda Session, questions were raised by the Mayor and this memo attempts to address those questions: 1) The applicant proposes to provided a blanket easement over all common property excluding the building and garage footprints for purposes of access and utilities. This will allow development and access to adjoining properties if future development is necessary and/or desired. 2) Attached are some alternate street and/or access plans that were developed and furnished to the Planning Commis- sion during their review of this application. Alternate layouts 1 through 7 were furnished to the Planning Commission with layouts 6 and 7 being the ones most favored by the majority of the Planning Commission. It should be noted that none of these alternates would allow the development of the plan as presented by the developer. Alternate sketch 8 was a layout developed at the sugges- tion of the developer's engineer and would allow access to those properties lying westerly of the proposed project and would at the same time allow the proposed plan to proceed as presented. 3) The Comprehensive Plan proposed the northerly portion of the site to be in a medium density land use with the southern portion of the sf.te in a low density land use. This diverges from the existing zoning of the parcel which is R-3. Medium density of 3 to 6 units per acre, if assumed to occur over the north 25 to 30 percent of the site, would allow approxi- mately 6.6 units and low density of 1 to 2 units over the southerly 65 to 70 percent of the site would allow for 4.2 units to be developed for a total of 10.8 units on the entire site. The applicant proposes a 32 unit project. R-3 zoning historically has allowed high density development which under the Code allows multi -family units at a density of 1 per 2,500 square feet. Thiswould in turn allow on this site of 138,000 square feet 55.2 units. The City Council has been previously appraised of legal opinions that have been rendered in court decisions on the issue of whether the Comprehensive Plan or the Zoning Plan controls. Staff has processed this application based on utilizing the existing zoning of R-3 on site.
