Absent Also Present Business from the Floor None REPORT OF VILLAGE PLANNER ORLYN MILLER . Case No. 84-21( Planned Unit Development Concept Plan Approval - North Heights utheran Church Council was referred to Proposed Master Plan for North Hei~hts Lutheran Church (received 7/26/84), Planning Memo (8/10/84). Miller explained that the applicant is requesting Concept Plan Approval of the Planned Unit Development; such approval does not represent approval of the PUD permit; explained that more detailed plan, conforming to the approved Concept Plan for General Plan Approval, will be required before a PUD permit is approved. Miller described the total site as 45.7 acres; 8 acres, in the northwest corner, are zoned B-2 (General Business); 37.7 acres are zoned R-l (Single Family Residential). Miller explained that "houses of worship" are permitted by Special Use Permit in the R-l District and accessory uses, typically related to churches, could be considered accessory uses to the principal church use; suggested that the scale of support facilities for this "region- al church" complex strains the limits of the "accessory use" definition; suggested the "accessory use ot~er than normal" is more applicable, if they are non-commercial and are directly associated with church uses. Miller explained that the rationale for handling the proposal as a Planned Unit Development is that it represents the over-all use of the land, consists of several buildings and uses, and the PUD provides for City control of the land. Miller reported that the Planning Commission. has heard this proposal - will consider an amended plan speaking to the questions and issues of the Planning Commission and Planner; noted that reasons and rationale were not included in the Plan- ning Commission motion recommending denial of the request for Concept Plan Approval until a second hearing of the items brought up at the Planning Commission meeting. Miller listed the items of Planning Commission concern: 1) Traffic control, especially during peak times - how handled, and how to not impact on the adjacent neigh- borhoods. 3) Commercial uses - need to be more carefully identified and contained in the B-2 District. Parking adequacy - potential over-lap for multiple service and multiple use. Character of support uses need clarification (prayer, retreat center, recreational facilities, hostel, etc.) How will these uses be controlled and how do they 2) 4)
