configurations, leaving approximately 20 feet of property undeveloped until a future date when either the City completes the shared access as part of the County Road E improvements, or when Carroll's Furniture redevelops. In the interim the existing western access would remain in its current location and serve the apartment building and retail. When the shared access drive is completed the property owner would then complete the connection and close the existing westernmost driveway. The condition language also includes a requirement that the property owner grant shared access easements to neighboring properties provided that shared access easements are granted in return. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission offers the following findings for consideration: 1. The applicant is proposing to redevelop the existing building at 1201 County Road E into a 75-unit multiple-family building, with approximately 20,000 square feet of attached retail. 2. The proposed redevelopment is located in the B2—General Business District. 3. The proposed use is allowed through a Planned Unit Development process in the B-2 District. 4. The PUD process allows for flexibility within the City's regulations through a negotiated process with a developer. 5. The City has adopted the Guiding Plan for the B2 District that outlines future development principals for the area. 6. The Master PUD and Final PUD are in substantial conformance with the requirements of the City's Zoning Code and design standards. 7. The Master PUD and Final PUD are in substantial conformance with the Guiding Plan for the B2 District. 8. The Master PUD and Final PUD are in substantial conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 9. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City's Zoning Code, flexibility has been requested by the applicant and/or conditions have been placed on an approval that would mitigate the nonconformity. 10. The application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. 11.
