^� r�,. 7.8 Sewer and Water: Sewer and water will be provided by a water main and sanitary sewer connection located within County Road B. 7.9 Private Utilities: The private utilities, such as electricity, cable, telephone, and natural gas, will be designed and coordinated through the Public Works Department to be underground and utilize a joint trenching system, where applicable. 8.0 STAFF COMMENTS: 8.1 On November 12, 2008, the applicant and Station 19 Architects held the required open house for the proposed Orchard development. There were between 50 and 60 property owners/residents in attendance. Questions/concerns regarding the land use process, the change in land use designation, the rezoning, change in the existing site grade, distance of the proposed building from property lines, traffic, height of the building, and environmental impacts were expressed. 8.2 On January 8 and 15, 2009, the Roseville Development Review Committee (DRC) met to review the General Concept proposal for the Orchard. All in all the DRC supported the change in Comprehensive Land Use Map designation to High Density Residential; the zoning to general Residence District; and the proposal as currently situated on the subject parcel. 8.3 This proposal and its proximity to existing residential is of similar scale, mass and distance. Most notably are the similarities between the recent Applewood Pointe development and Greenhouse Village. 8.4 However, the Planning Division is interested in ways to minimize building mass. Such options could include reducing the number of units and providing a greater setback; limiting the height, which in turn would required a partial or complete redesign; of flipping the structure so that the long portion lies adjacent to County Road B. 8.5 Prior to the General Concept plan being forwarded to the City Council, the Planning Staff would like to explore with the applicant possible modifications to reducing the mass of the building. The Planning Division is also interested in feedback form the Planning Commission regarding this item. 9.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 9.1 The Planning Division recommends APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT, the REZONING, and the GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT for the property at 2025 County Road B for a 77-unit active senior living community by Art Mueller, with the following conditions: a. The applicant shall meet with the Planning Staff to explore ways to potentially reduce the mass and scale of the building prior to the General Concept being forwarded to the City Council for consideration. b. Parking shall satisfy the City Code. c. The final landscape plan shall include additional screening along the south and north sides of the building. This screening may include a decorative fence and/or berm as well as landscaping. PF09-002_RPCA 020409.doc90308 Page 5 of 6
