Agenda Number fi__L CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT` DEPARTMENT Memorandum TO: Hugo Planning Commission FROM: Rachel Juba, Planner SUBJECT: LaValle Fields, LLC. Apartment Concept Plan for property located west of Lions Park. DATE: January 7, 2016 for the Planning Commission Meeting of January 14, 2016 ZONING: Planned Unit Development (PUD) 1. BACKGROUND: The property is generally located to the north of 145`i, Street and west of Finale Avenue near Lions Park. The property owner, Marvin LaValle, has signed a contract with the applicant, Bill Lentsch (LaValle Fields, LLC), to develop the parcel of land. The property is currently vacant and contains flat, buildable land with a portion of wetlands. In 2014, the City approved a PUD General Plan for the 39.56 acre property (16.18 buildable) and at that time the property was rezoned to PUD. The property was previously zoned Central Residential (CR -3) with an allowed density of 4 units per acre. The plan included four buildings, one being the Keystone senior housing facility. The senior housing is allowed up to 130 units, but was approved for 100 units with the ability to expand. The PUD General Plan proposed three apartment buildings for a total of 165 units. The two buildings shown on the west side of the property were proposed to be 3 stories and the building closest to Finale Avenue was proposed to be 2 stories. The total number of units approved for the PUD is 295 units for an overall density of 18 units per acre. The approved PUD General Plan includes two phases. Phase 1 was the senior housing facility and the reconstruction of Finale Avenue from 145th Street to 146th Street, which is complete. Phase 2 included three apartment buildings as well as the realignment and construction of Finale Avenue north of 146th Street to 147th Street. Phase 2 also includes the construction of 147th Street to Oneka Parkway. Although the construction of Finale Avenue and 147th Street are required with Phase 2, the right-of-way was dedicated with Phase 1. The land dedication for a portion of the park dedication requirement was also dedicated with Phase 1.
