WATERFIELD PUD - PRELIMINARY, #7-956 STAFF PRESENTATION Proposed on approximately 140 acres located on the NW corner of E. Vine Dr. and County Rd. 9E or Summit View Rd. Surrounding development includes Adrial Hills Development, Lindenmeier Lake, Collins Air Mobile Home Park, proposed Dry Creek mobile home park and airport industrial park. Adjacent to farm land and to the railroad switching yard on S. Side of Vine Dr. The City Council adopted Ordinance 52-1996 which rezoned property. Southern 60 acres of property was zoned limited industrial with a PUD condition.. Northern 80 acres rezoned to low density planned residential with PUD condition. Council placed an additional condition which required the property to be developed in a net density of 6 dwelling units per net developable acres. The applicant is requesting approval of 483 dwelling units, 187 single-family lots, 120 senior cottage units and 176 apartments known as Bull Run, a 5,000 square foot Convenience Store, 10,000 square foot retail office building and 6,000 sq. ft. day care center. A 10 acre school site is included for platting purposes only and has been dedicated to the School District and accepted. Title for the park site has been placed in escrow pending approval. Overall average density is 3.95 dwelling units per acre. The net acreage is 6.06. Request was submitted on February 27, 1997. It has been processed according to the Land Development Guidance System. It earned 67 percent of the maximum applicable points on the Residential Uses Point Chart exceeding minimum required 60 points for a density of 3.9 dwelling units per acre. It is in compliance with Ordinance 52-1996 which rezoned the property. It earned 52 percent of the maximum applicable points on the neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center Point Chart. The Land Development Guidance System failed to exceed the minimum required 65 percent; however, can be granted a variance. It meets all development criteria with the exception of A 1.1 which is solar orientation. Staff recommends granting a variance to A1.1. Staff recommends that this project is compatible to surrounding neighborhood. It preserves 25 acres of wetlands, provides 36 percent of total dwelling units as affordable Planning and Zoning Board Minutes May 19, 1997 Page 4 RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS Tri-Care spoke to Mrs. Schnabble and Mr. Cantor who talked with them as they were cleaning the yard. There are eight businesses located in the neighborhood. Staff commented on the traffic situation and reiterated parking possibilities and traffic patterns. If the building reverts back to any other use in the future, the land use would have to go through the same process of scheduling neighborhood meetings and public hearings. Precedence has no impact on future uses. BOARD QUESTIONS: Member Chapman asked about the process in case the site reverted back to a single- family home. Member Davidson asked about the driveway and the parking situation. He felt church parking was not feasible because of the distance from the home and that two parking spaces on the street may not be adequate. The applicant responded that one employee would be parking on the street. They have utilized parking at the church. She also said there were house rules that had to be adhered to according to Medicaid rules. Member Gavaldon wanted to know more about the house rules. Is a parking violation grounds to throw out a client? The applicant responded that the rules were very important and residents could be asked to move if they do not comply with the rules. Gavaldon wanted to know about handicapped persons using parking at the church. The applicant said handicapped person could park on street if necessary. Applicant hopes people will visit the seniors but most of the time this does not happen. She also said she would ask employees to park at the church if there was a problem accommodating visitor parking. MOVED BY WEITKUNAT, SECONDED BY CHAPMAN: TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF YORKTOWN CORNER BOARD AND CARE HOME GROUP HOME SPECIAL REVIEW #10-97. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Comments were made by Member Weitkunat about group homes being appropriate in certain neighborhoods. Planning and Zoning Board Minutes May 19, 1997 Page 3 3) This is a profit -generating business in a single-family neighborhood. This use is permitted use in R-L zoning district. 4) Background checks. These will be performed by CBI. Applicants have agreed to background checks. 5) Impact of group home on surrounding property values. Local Realtors have asserted that group homes have no negative value. 5) Approval of property as a group home for elderly residents might deem approval for all types of group homes should the applicants decide to quit business in future years. Land Use Code says it cannot switch from a senior care home to another type of group home unless it is reviewed through the development process. Staff finds this meets the definition of group home as specified in Section 29.1 of City Code and conforms to lot area requirement in 29-475 of the Code. It also conforms to separation requirement. Maximum number of persons is 7 as determined by square footage of lot. No other type or quantity of residents are allowed without review by P&Z. Clients will not be allowed to drive or store vehicles on premises. All signage will be limited and will comply with City Sign Code. Will dedicate a minimum of 30 percent of available beds for recipients of Medicaid. Staff recommends P&Z approve project. QUESTIONS FROM BOARD Member Weitkunat asked for clarification on 29-1. APPLICANT PRESENTATION Tri-Care Corporation was represented by three people who gave a presentation on the senior residence facility. The presentation included how this particular house was chosen, why the name was chosen, plans for parking, transportation for residents, property maintenance and care given residents. Also addressed were answers to concerns from neighbors on property values and a dispute about the property line. PUBLIC INPUT A question was asked by Mr. Harry O'Boyle, a neighbor to the proposed site, who wanted to know the people Tri-Care Corp. spoke to. Mr. Keith Moore, immediately east of residence across the street, was concerned about future use of property and traffic. He wanted to know what other businesses were in the neighborhood.
