Agenda Number II CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY DE' ELOPIVIENT DEPARTMENT Memorandum TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator FROM: Rachel Juba, Planner SUBJECT: LaValle Fields, LLC. Apartment Concept Plan for property located west of Lions Park. DATE: January 26, 2016 for the City Council Meeting of February 1, 2016 ZONING: Planned Unit Development (PUD) 1. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE: At its January 14, 2016, meeting the Planning Commission reviewed and provided comments on the concept plan. Staff provided background on the approved PUD General Plan and the concept plan provided by the applicant for review. The applicant described the changes from the PUD General Plan approval and concept plan. The applicant generally stated that based on the proposed 97 units and the amount of space is required for 2 to 3 bedroom units, the building begins to get large in size. He stated that the development team looked at a horseshoe and L- shaped building, for building A, but it did not fit on the site. The applicant stated that the building footprint has projections and the architecture breaks up the mass of the building. The Planning Commission generally agreed on the following concerns: 1. The very long expansions of the walls and massing of building A. 2. The building footprints and orientations on the site. 3. The absence of planning the entire site, including building B. 4. The plan not showing proposed lot lines and phasing of the development. The Planning Commission provided the following comments on the Concept Plan: 1. The proposed concept plan generally didn't meet the conditions shown in the approved PUD General Plan. 2. The long massing of Building A was generally disliked. They stated that new building orientations and/or footprints, to break up the massing of such a large building, should be considered. 3. The architectural components shown on the concept plan did not break up the large massing of building A.
