City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 11, 2022 Page 2 1 Motion carried 5-0. 2 3 IV. PUBLIC HEARING — NONE. 4 5 V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. 6 7 A. Resolution 22-071 — Approving a Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Financial 8 Institution with Drive -Through in the Silver Lake PUD Zoning District. 9 10 City Planner Grittman reviewed the applicants are the owners of the property (Sterling 11 Organization), representing Chase Bank as a new construction tenant. The project involves 12 amending a PUD zoning district to accommodate a new banking facility with a Drive -Through 13 facility. The developer proposes to construct a new bank facility on a portion of the former 14 Walmart parking lot, now a separate parcel in front of the "Ruby" multi -family residential 15 building. 16 17 The building is a 3,308 square foot structure that would sit on the south half of what is currently 18 a vacant paved space. The applicant proposed to remove the existing asphalt and concrete on that 19 portion of the site — the plans indicate that the northerly portion of the site would be subject to 20 the property owner's separate work. 21 22 Banking and other financial institutions are permitted uses in the Commercial District generally, 23 and in the Silver Lake PUD specifically. The drive -through facility requires a separate 24 Conditional Use Permit. As such, the request for a Conditional Use incorporates an amendment 25 to the Silver Lake PUD District. In this case, the drive -through facility serves an ATM, and there 26 is no drive -through teller window. 27 28 Mr. Grittman noted that the project construction limits relate to the south portion of the existing 29 parcel. No subdivision is being proposed at this time, and the northerly portion of the site has no 30 specific plans for modification as a part of this request. 31 32 The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed application on September 20, 33 2022. No one from the public was present to speak to the proposal, and the applicant was 34 represented by a member of its consulting/design team. The Planning Commission discussed the 35 item, asked questions of staff and the applicant. The Commission commented as to access into 36 and out of the site, and screening and setback distances from the Ruby apartment building. 37 Following up on a specific question raised by the Commission, the distance from the Ruby 38 building to the property line is approximately 45 feet, and an additional 70 feet from the property 39 line is proposed to the corner of the drive -through portion of the Chase building. After the 40 hearing, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposal. 41 42 Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the City's 43 Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the C, Commercial District as a baseline. 44 In summary, the Comprehensive Plan promotes use of the subject properties that reflect the 45 proposed commercial uses in the area. The proposed Conditional Use Permit PUD meets the
