(Based on the size of the Huberty lot, it would be possible to divide the Huberty site into 5-6 single family lots with a roadway along one edge.) Adjacent land uses include Central Park to the south, east, and west. To the north is railroad right-of-way and County Road C. Further east and south are single family residential areas, and further north across County C are the Owasso Ballfields and single family residential area. 2.2 Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and Senior Housing Partners, LLC, are proposing to construct a 56-unit three-story senior housing building with underground parking in the northwest portion of the site. In conjunction with this project, a shared parking area would be constructed in the southeast portion of the site facing the church's main entrance. Because of the joint use of the site for both church and senior housing uses, rezoning of the site is to a mixed use Planned Unit Development. Since the highest use is the senior housing building, the underlying zoning will need to be high density residential (churches are allowed as a permitted use in most residential zoning districts). The Comprehensive Plan will also need to be amended to change the future land use designation of the church site ffom Church to High Density Residential and the Huberty site from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential. 2.3 The senior housing facility as proposed includes 56 units on three floors, with a heated underground parking garage with one space for each unit and an elevator serving each floor. Combined with surface parking, 71 parking spaces are proposed. The exterior of the building as proposed is pre-finished lap siding with face brick wainscoting and asphalt shingles. The building will include a dining/lounge area, a guest room, and a terrace on the main level. There will be 12 one-bedroom unit, ranging in size ffom 748 square feet to 994 square feet, and 44 and two-bedroom units, ranging in size ffom 908 square feet to 1342 square feet. All units will have a deck or patio, as well as a washer and dryer. The selling price per share in the cooperative will range ffom $25,000 to $50,000, with the monthly housing expense ranging ffom $600 to $1100. 2.4 The Planning Commission held a sketch plan review of this request on July 8, 1998. At this meeting, the overall project was presented and two alternative site plans were reviewed. In one site plan, the senior housing building was located in the southeast portion of the site. In the second site plan, the senior housing building was located in the northwest portion of the site. The senior building at this time was proposed as a 60-unit four-story building with a 56 space underground parking garage. The height and bulk of the building were discussed, as well as the impact of the building on the park and adjacent properties. The Planning Commission asked for more architectural detail on the structure, a visual analysis that clarifies the visual impacts of the property on the park and adjacent properties. The Planning Commission also expressed a preference for the site plan that placed the building in the northwest portion of the site and asked the applicant to meet with the Park and Recreation Commission to review the impacts of the project on Central Park, both pro and con. 2.5 The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the request on August 4, 1998. The Commission expressed a preference for the site plan that places the senior housing PF3049 - RCA (01/25/99) - Page 3 of9
