Planning File 1634 Woodbridge Properties request for amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, rezoning from 1-1, R-1, R-2, and B-3 to B-4, and approval of Special Use Permit for P.U.D. and office/service structure. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren discussed the current zoning and the surrounding land uses in the area. Mr. Dahlgren also pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan initially assumed medium density housing development in the area. However, as a result of major land value changes, commercial use of this property is much more reasonable and desirable. Mr. Dahlgren also stated he encouraged the developers to approach this project in a comprehensive nature, and not in a piecemeal approach. Mr. Dahlgren also summarized the respective requests for the Planning Commission members. Mr. Wier, the developer, discussed the work that he had done with the staff, and the neighborhood meetings that his firm had conducted. Mr. Wier also discussed his concept with respect to how he hopes his development will become an architectural landmark for the City. Mr. Wier proceeded to introduce his development team, which included Bassett, Nesset, and Benshoot. Bassett, the architect, proceeded to discuss the architectural features of the project. Mr. Bassett showed the site plan, and how the concept of the internal spine system worked. He also discussed the landscaping and the number of trees that they hoped to save. Nesset pointed out the forty foot buffer which had been created to protect the residents to the east. That buffer creates a 300 foot distance from the respective homes to the closest office on the site.
