Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 21, 2004 Page 5 1 2 Commissioner Tillman asked why this development should be a PUD. Mr. Beck explained that 3 the reason for the PUD request is due to the mixed use and density. He further explained that 4 currently there are no specific categories allowing mixed use for medical offices and residential 5 units. 6 7 Commissioner Jensen clarified that they are asking to become an extension to current PUD zone 8 and that their proposed concept would be compatible with the design phase currently in process. 9 Mr. Beck confirmed noting that with PUD the Commission and Council would have the ability to 10 ensure that they are in compliance with the requirements outlined in the PUD. 11 12 Commissioner Jensen asked if Quest has worked with the Design group to define the 13 compatibility. Mr. Waters stated that they have not met with the Design group yet. He 14 referenced the City requirements outlined in the PUD stating that they are familiar with the 15 guidelines and assured the Commission that it is their intent to be compliant. 16 17 Commissioner Jensen asked for clarification on how they could become a part of an existing 18 PUD. Mr. Beck clarified that they are asking to extend the PUD zone noting that they would not 19 sign the existing PUD; they would have their own PUD agreement as an extension to the current 20 PUD zone. Mr. Waters further explained that they would follow the current PUD guidelines and 21 requirements that would define the building process, the appearance and how it would work 22 together with the rest of the redevelopment in the area. 23 24 Commissioner Jensen asked how it happened that this group was left out of the original PUD. 25 City Attorney Lindgren stated that the developer was not seeking redevelopment at that time and 26 did not apply with the original PUD. 27 28 Commissioner Jensen asked if the Silver Lake developers applied for the current PUD. Ms. 29 Moore-Sykes confirmed and reviewed the current PUD with the Commission. 30 31 Vice Chair Hanson stated that the Quest Development Group did attend all of the Commission 32 meetings and clearly stated that they did plan to do some redevelopment with the building noting 33 that they are now presenting the Commission with their proposal and plans. 34 35 Commissioner Young asked if they could actually have two developers under one PUD or would 36 it be one large PUD zone. Mr. Beck clarified that it would be one PUD zone. 37 38 Commissioner Tillman clarified that a PUD is a flexible form of zoning and is designed to work 39 towards and benefit both the City and the Developer. She asked if they would abide by the 40 standards already agreed to or would they want to do something additional. Mr. Beck stated that 41 they are hoping for specific approval noting that they are bringing forward a specific project that 42 is consistent with the current development. 43 44 Chair Stromgren noted there are two other options that could be considered, a variance for 45 minimum acreage or an amendment to change the text to lower the threshold. Mr. Beck stated
