PLANNING FILE 07-002 Request by Northwestern College for a PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) AGREEMENT AMENDMENT (PF07-002), to allow the increase in student population from the current 1,800 to 2,600 full-time students and the future expansion of campus facilities. Chair Bakeman opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 07-002; and noted that tonight’s public comment would be limited to approximately twenty-five (25) minutes; and would be continued to the March meeting. Chair Bakeman encouraged members of the audience wishing to comment to direct their comments and questions to the applicant, to allow them to bring responses back at the March meeting. Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request of Northwestern College to AMEND their 1986 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT to be consistent with their Long Range Campus Master Plan, originally approved in 1977, by modifying the campus to accommodate a 12- to 20- year increase in student population from the current population of 1,700 to approximately 2,400. Mr. Lloyd advised that, upon preliminary review, Planning Staff believed that the proposed PUD Amendment was consistent with the purpose and intent of the original PUD and with appropriate review and approval of storm water and traffic management plans, the gradual expansion of the facilities would not have commensurate adverse impacts on the surrounding community Commissioner Ildephonse Gasongo arrived at this time, 6:21 p.m.
