Mr. Paschke advised that, in general, the design was similar to that previously presented, but with a reduction in the number of stories to three (3) and reduction in the number of units at fifty-five (55). Mr. Paschke requested that the Commission clearly address whether they supported guiding the subject parcel to a designation other than Low Density in order to establish a foundation for further review of the current proposal. Staff recommended the following actions related to the request of Art Mueller to redevelop 2025 County Road B with a 55-unit, 3-story Active Senior Living Community: 9.1 RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT of 2025 County Road B from Low Density Residential (LR) to High Density Residential (HR) 9.2 RECOMEMND APRPOVAL of the REZONING of 2025 County Road B from Single Family Residential (R-1) to Planned Unit Development (PUD), with an underlying zoning of General Residence District (R-3). 9.3 RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, as prepared for the March 4, 2009 Planning Commission meeting; subject to the conditions detailed in Section 9 of the staff report; with final approval by the City Council considered after all conditions and required documents and permits have been submitted for final approval; with those final approvals considered as a separate application process. Chair Bakeman lead a discussion for clarification on land use designation categories for density: Low Density at 0 to 4 units/acre; Medium Density at 5 – 12 units/acre; and High Density greater than 13 units/acre. Staff noted that this proposed use was consistent with 6 – 7 other senior or multi-family type residential projects approved by the City over the last ten (10) years in similarly related surrounding neighborhoods.
