Project: Project Description: Staff Recommendation: Cambridge House Apartments — Modification of Standards, #6-03B Request for a modification to Section 3-.2.2(1<)(1)(a) of the Land Use Code to reduce the pumber of required off-street parking spaces. The site is located at 1113 W:.Plum Street and is zoned Community Commercial. Approval Hearinq Testimony, Written Comments and:Other Evidence: City Planner Troy Jones gave the staff presentation, recommending approval. He summarized the two prior modification requests — the first to reduce the number of required off-street parking spaces from 213 to 175 which was approved, and the second to reduce the number required from 175 to 160 which was denied. This request is for one of two alternatives — Alternative A has a mixed -use component to the building that is along Shields Street; Alternative B would be exclusively a residential building. With Alternative A, the applicant is requesting 170 spaces, including the 1,900 square foot non-residential component. J Planning and Zoning Board Minutes October 16, 2003 Page 24 Planner Olt replied that the ODP breaks the property up into several parcels with general types of land uses in each. This determines the general street network and the location of certain types of uses. Generally speaking, a PDP has to convey some level of conformity with an ODP. Vice -Chairperson Gavaldon asked about bicycle parking and lanes on and around the property, specifically if they would be along 1-25. City Engineer Marc Virata stated that the traffic report shows bike lanes along the frontage roads which operate at a collector level of service. Ric Hattman, representing Paradigm Properties, gave the applicant's presentation. He stated that discussions with Transfort indicated that they did not plan to extend services out there until something is actually built. He stated that the sub -area plans do not allow residential uses within '/< mile of the Interstate. Therefore, mixed uses that incorporate residential uses, other than the lodging facilities, would not be allowed. There will be lower -intensity uses such as offices as well as the highway -oriented businesses. He added that he anticipated development would not occur for 5-10 years given the lack of level of service. Public Input There was no public input. Public Input Closed Member Meyer moved for approval of Paradigm Properties, Overall Development Plan, File #29-01A citing the findings of fact and conclusions in the staff report. Vice -Chairperson Gavaldon seconded the motion. Chairperson Torgerson asked if that parcel was identified as commercial on the I- 25 Sub -Area Plan. Planner Olt replied that it was. Vice -Chairperson Gavaldon asked about possibly continuing the item for more information on the 1-25 Sub -Area Plan. Mr. Hattman asked to which meeting the item would be continued. Planning and Zoning Board Minutes October 16, 2003 Page 23 Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence: Member Schmidt asked about a site plan figure. Planner Olt replied that it is an indicator of a multi -modal transportation area. Member Schmidt asked about the Overall Development Plan approval with respect to level of service standards. Planner Olt replied that the approval of an ODP does not give any vested rights. No final plan for any phase of this development could be approved under the adequate public facilities criteria if it is failing. Compliance with level of service criteria is determined at time of Project Development Plan and Final Compliance. Member Meyer asked about funding for roadway improvements. Director Gloss replied that the developer can go in, after PDP approval, and reserve right-of-way. When final plans are approved and permits are pulled, the fees are then paid, including street oversizing and off -site improvements. The improvements at Prospect & 1-25 will have to be in place in order for development to occur. There are some interim improvements that could be made to accommodate some minor uses in the area. Currently, the complete intersection improvements have no funding in place. Building permits could not be issued for this property without the intersection operating at an acceptable level of service. Member Craig asked about this site being and activity center and therefore meeting mixed -use criteria. Planner Olt replied that the site is shown on the 1-25 Corridor Plan as commercial uses. Member Craig stated that an activity center is a commercial use which also requires mixed -use, transit -oriented development. Planner Olt replied that the 1-25 map shows the property as having a variety of commercial uses. Member Craig asked if the future PDP plans are held to the "bubble" diagram of the ODP.
