1' STAFF REPORT DATE: January 30, 1996 TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant ITEM: Application for Subdivision of Land of the Apache Plaza Shopping Center. BACKGROUND: The Ste. Marie Corporation, current owner of the Apache Plaza Shopping Center, is requesting a subdivision of land in order to redevelop the shopping center. The purpose of the subdivision and replatting of this property is to enhance the orderly redevelopment of the property, providing interested retailers the opportunity to take advantage of redeveloped property as it becomes available and allowing the existing mall to remain in operation during the redevelopment. The replatting of the property will allow for the creation of seven (7) retail lots and three (3) outlots for the construction of storm water retention ponds. Lot 1 is being planned for the construction of a 75,200 square foot Cub Food store; Lots 2 (First Bank), Lot 5 (Tires Plus), and Lot 6 (Taco Bell) will be maintained in their existing retail use; and Lots 3 and 4 will be redeveloped for a single-tenant or multi-tenant retail facilities. Lot 7 will contain the existing mall and the balance of the property, all of which may be redeveloped at a later date. The whole of the Apache Plaza Shopping Center is the district zoned for General Commercial. As such, the commercial district requires that all lots have an area of at least 15,000 square feet and a,minimum width of 100 feet. Proposed Lot 1 has approximately 403,801.2 square feet and is 524.6 feet wide; proposed Lot 3 is approximately 61,419.6 square feet and is 235.31 feet wide; and proposed Lot 4 is approximately 61,855.2 square feet and is 244.7 feet wide. Lot 2 has approximately 57,499.2 square feet and 179.3 feet wide; Lot 5 is approximately 56,628 square feet and 232.5 feet wide; Lot 6 is approximately 34,412.4 square feet and 121.1 wide feet; and Lot 7 is approximately 1,433,559.6 square feet. Lots 2,5,6 and 7 have existing retail uses. According to the preliminary plan, all lots meet the requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance for lot size and width. All lots as represented by the preliminary plat appear to have direct access to Silver Lake Road. The developer is proposing to also create reciprocal easements for access, parking and utilities to serve the proposed lots and to permit the ultimate retail uses to function as a single shopping center. The City's attorney has advised that the City should condition any approval of.-the plat on the City's review and approval of an agreement in recordable form before the plat is signed and released by the City.
