TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator FROM: Max Gort, Associate Planner, through Rachel Juba, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Premier Banks – Site Plan, Zoning Amendment, CUP, and two Variances – 5615 147th Street N DATE: September 29, 2022, for the City Council meeting of October 3, 2022 ZONING: Future Central Business (FCB) COMP PLAN LAND USE: Mixed-Use (MIX) 60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: October 4, 2022 1. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE: At its September 22, 2022 meeting the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the request. Three residents who live in the neighborhood along Flay Avenue spoke during the public hearing with concerns and questions including the following: • Concerns about commercial traffic in the street where kids play. • Vehicle trips increasing on Flay Avenue due to commercial use. • The proposed second tenant space without a definite tenant occupying that space, not knowing what kind of traffic said tenant would generate. Another resident who does not live in the immediate neighborhood, but is a customer of Premier Banks, gave comments regarding the current bank location and its limited parking spaces that it shares with the adjoining convenience stores. He states there is not a problem parking in the current building and does not see a parking problem with the proposed building. Two members of the applicant’s development team responded to the neighbors’ concerns. They both highlighted the team’s work to consider all of the realistic options for an access point location. They determined that the proposed location on the northwest corner of the property onto Flay Avenue would be the best in terms of minimizing the possibility of vehicle collisions and interference with pedestrian traffic on the 147th Street trail.
