June 4, 2024 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 11 RE: Ten Nineteen Development LLC, LaLonde Property, PUD Preliminary Development Plan with PID 23-31-22-22-0003. The property is being replatted with this approval as Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 1 of LaLonde First Addition. 2)Ten Nineteen Development LLC has proposed a 104-unit apartment project on the property, consisting of a three-story apartment building with a level of parking underneath the building for 110 cars and a surface parking lot of 56 spaces.The parking provided results in about 1.6 parking spaces per unit which is typical and adequate per current industry standardsand practice. 3)The project is proposed as a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development under the standards and processes in the Centerville Zoning Code. 4)The property is zoned M-2 Mixed Use Neighborhood, which references the 2006 Master Plan & Development Guidelines, noting that the M-2 district correlates to the “Downtown Neighborhood” designation in the Master Plan.Page 26 of the Master Plan notes that “the Downtown Neighborhood will be dominated by high-density and medium density residential developments” with density that will range from 20 to 45 units per acre.The project meets this standard. 5)The Centerville Zoning Code defines the height of a building as “The vertical distance from the average elevation of the finished grade at the front of the building to the highest point of the roof for flat roofs . . .”, and further limits the height of the building to 35 feet. The proposed building has a finished grade of about elevation 915 at the front of the building and a roof elevation of 950, for a total height calculated as 35 feet, meeting the Code definition and standard. 6)The project as conditioned meets the M-2 zoning district standards in Section156.052, the standards for approving a Conditional Use Permit in Section 156.210, and the standards for approving a Planned Unit Development in Section 156.252(A).The public benefits from approving the PUD include the diversification of housing choices in the community, adding population to support businessesand initiating revitalization of the city’s Downtown, encouraging further investmentin the Downtown and the community generally.. 7)The project is in close proximity toCenterville Elementary School. Safety of the students and school-related traffic are critical issues for the school and the community. It is important to create a safe area in the vicinity of the school. Residents and visitors to the project site must travel along the same route as pedestrians, bicycles, bus traffic, and other traffic accessing the school. Traffic around the school is particularly busy at the beginning and end of each school day and during school events.A traffic study for the project prepared by a qualified consultant concluded that traffic from the development will not degrade nearby intersection performance and traffic safety below acceptable standards. The City finds the project will not pose a risk to the safety and enjoyment of the adjacent school environment and its students.
