MEMORANDUM • r` DATE: November 6 , 1987 ] TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: David M. Childs , City Manager ITEM: P: J. GAUGHAN PROPOSAL FOR KENZIE TERRACE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT The attached plans relate to the proposal from P. J. Gaughan for the Kenzie Terrace Project. Previous proposals for this phase of the project have included: *300 units of market rate condos in 5 and 8 story buildings ( Arkell , 1983 ) *300 units of senior rental with some retail space ( Arkell, fall, 1985 ) *300 units of market rate rental ( request withdrawn by Arkell, fall , 1986 ) • *300 units of senior rental without retail space (Arkell, fall, 1986 ) *205 units in two buildings ( 102 senior rental and 103 market rate ) ( P. J. Gaughan Companies, fall, 1987 ) As shown in the attached notice, this proposal contains two buildings, three stories each, underground parking, brick exterior (except balconies ) , sloped rather than flat roofs. It represents months of negotiations and study in which Arkell was released as developer and P. J. Gaughan Co. was the successful new developer. A P.U.D. allows deviations from the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance as part of an overall plan. In this P.U.D. approval, variance from the zoning regulations are necessary for height ( 42 feet, where 35 feet are allowed) ; and a variance for density is .needed because this site has about 7 . 35 acres . The Zoning Ordinance allows 24 units per acre and this proposal is for 28 units per acre. This is contrasted with the -Kenzington .at 75 units/acre and -the Walker on Kenzie project at 35 . 43 units/acre . . The previously approved Arkell proposal of 300 units would have been over 43 • units per acre. As you can see, this project does not require any large variances from our normal zoning provisions and appears to be a good compromise for a very difficult site. DMC:cjk
