This site was previously in the review process as a part of the Ace Hardware Project
Development Plan. That project addressed the subject property site as well as the
adjacent lot to the south which contains a residence. The current proposal does not
involve the lot to the south.
RAINTREE ANIMAL HOSPITAL PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Planning Objectives
November 16, 1999
Dr. Larry Magnuson, the owner of the existing Raintree Village Animal Hospital located
in Raintree Village Shopping Center, and the owner of the subject property plans to
construct a new animal hospital facility on the subject property. In addition to providing
Dr. Magnuson with a new facility this project will infill one of the few remaining pieces
of the Raintree Shopping Center.
In addition to being an infill project, this development proposes to achieve the City Plan
principles of pushing buildings up to the streetway, placing parking behind and between
buildings and making strong pedestrian connections in all directions. Architectural
character and material selections have been made in a deliberate attempt to be
harmonious with the surrounding development and to create a pedestrian friendly scale
and feel. Furthermore vehicular links will be made to the Senior Center to allow for
sharing of parking between the two facilities. Consideration has also been given to a
future vehicular link to the site of the existing residence to the south. This would allow a
future project there the potential to gain access from Evenstar and to also share in
parking.
There are no natural wetlands existing on the site but there are existing mature
cottonwood trees in the Shields Street right of way which are intended to be protected per
City requirements during construction. On site and right of way landscaping for both
Shields Street and Evenstar have been proposed to enhance the project and to comply
with City requirements.
Dr. Magnuson intends to continue to own the property and the facility and will be
responsible for all maintenance of the grounds.
The hospital will employ approximately 12 people with there being a maximum of
approximately 8 people on any one shift. Hours of operation will be Monday through
Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m..
The site development and construction of the facility is intended to begin as soon as the
City review process is completed and a building permit is obtained. It is anticipated that
this would occur in the spring of 2000, and that construction would be completed within
about six months thereafter.
A formal neighborhood meeting is not anticipated as the project is anticipated to be a
Type I review. Informal contact has been made between the owner and the adjacent
residential property owners to the north and they have regarded the project favorably.
That contact will be continued as the project moves forward.
