specified in the detail of the Planned Unit Development agreement and refined prior to Council decisions on the concept. In addition, the issues relating to the grading, utilities and fire protection services can be resolved as part of the PUD Agreement and Development Plan review. An additional neighborhood meeting may be of assistance. If the Commission accepts this recommendation, a project review time extension will be necessary. 5.0 Planning Commission Recommendation On January 13, 1999, the Planning Commission held a discussion of the issues (see attached excerpt from the draft minutes). The Planning Commission then recommended approval of the proposal (4-2), citing the comments and findings in Section 3 and the recommendation in Section 4 of this report. 5.1 The Commission recommended (4-2) approval of the request for an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation of both parcels to High Density Residential and approval of the concept development plan for a mixed use planned unit development including the existing Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, a 56-unit three- story senior housing building, and an off-street parking area, based on the findings outlined in Section 3, subject to the following conditions: a. Prior to requesting concept approval from the City Council, the applicant will hold a design meeting with neighbors and interested public (including the Planning Commission members if interested) to identify specific changes in site design and landscaping, materials, massing, and visual screening from the Lake. b. The applicant will include building design materials (brick, masonry, and natural materials) that match those of the existing Church building. c. The applicant will redesign the building mass to be consistent with the height, width, and size of the existing Church building. d. The applicant will request, in writing, the Council on January 25, 1999, accept a 60 day time extension to the project review process for further design refinement. If the Council approves the concept PUD and the change in the Comprehensive Plan, the PUD does not take effect until after final approvals of the PUD and Subdivision and respective agreements; and review and approval of the Comprehensive Plan change by the Metropolitan Council; and publication of the PUD ordinance. 6.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION The developer has asked, attached in writing, for an additional 60 day extension before submitting the concept and design documents to the Council for a decision. This will change the dates stated in the public hearing notice for this request. If approved, an amended notice would be prepared by staff. By resolution, approve a 60 day extension from this date (January 25, 1999) to March 27, 1999, superceding the previous extension to March 9, 1999. A draft resolution is attached.
