The applicant seeks to rezone 4 parcels from the B5 Business,R2 Residential and R3 Residential Districts within the Old Town Overlay Character Subarea to the C-2 Mixed Use District. The site is generally located on the west side of 181 Avenue SE,between 1st Street SE and Supply Street. Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Cannel Plan Commission. Petitioner: Adrienne Keeling: • Presented site location map and zoning map, we are proposing the 4 parcels outline in yellow to rezone to C-2. The western half of this block is already zoned C-2. • The purpose of this rezone request is to extend this C-2 zoning district across the entire block to allow for a redevelopment proposal to be reviewed • The proposed redevelopment project is for a 1933 Lounge Restaurant concept,with upper floors as office space, and townhomes along the eastern half of the block. • This concept plan was presented at a City Council meeting,but nothing has been approved by the CRC • We have received some comments from the public and will be taken in consideration by the CRC • C-2 project includes several steps for approval by the CRC architectural review board and public hearing by the Plan Commission Hearing Officer • Staff recommends that you suspend the Rules of Procedure and send this item to the City Council with a favorable recommended Public Comments: Bob Campbell, 1st Street SE: I'm not opposed to it,but I have a couple requests.The townhouses will be looking into my house,I ask if they are setback 15-ft from the curb.They are proposing 3-stories high with a balcony,and I ask if they are set 4-ft down and have the balconies face west towards Rangeline. I ask for a tree line along the townhomes.I ask this type of development is not allowed to go south of Supply Street.With valet parking,we ask they don't use the parking lot at the Lions Club and to have this area designated as permit parking only for the residents. IJanet Raymond, S. Rangeline Road: We are not opposed to this development,but we ask for them to be mindful to the long-term residents in this area. We would like to avoid in having the valet parking traffic backed up.Loading docks and dumpsters should be located closer to the commercial node and buffered from the adjacent residential neighbors. 7 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes 9-20-22 Jeff Watkins, I' Street SE: Bob Campbell is my neighbor. We ask for consideration of the height and appearance of townhomes. What are the unattended consequences?Parking and lighting. We do not want strong street lighting.I would ask for no parking on the stub-street or the Lions Club parking lot. Zachary Jedamzik, Supply Street: I love what we are doing in Cannel. Tonight,we are asking about a rezoning.If we rezone this for C-2,then it will go only to the CRC. We won't have a say in this redevelopment. The residents want a partnership and have a say what is going in this area. What is the plan?What are we voting on?The Old Town Overlay Zoning District is completely changing. What are the unattended consequences? Rebuttal to Public Comments: Adrienne Keeling: • We do not have a site plan. We are not to that level of design,but it is good to bring things up early in the process • Parking restrictions will be under the City Council review • DOCS works very closely with the CRC in project reviews and continue to relay those comments to work on the design of this project • We know this block would be developed simultaneously since the western part of this block is already zoned C-2 Committee Comments: Sue: I want to thank everyone who came out to speak about this proposal. We are only asked to rezone this to C-2. I would like to hear from the Redevelopment Commission in how people can participate in this rezone.Henry Mestetsky, CRC Director: This is a holistic project that we asking to rezone. We can't pick and choose which part we want to redevelop. Once this is rezoned,there's a CRC Architectural Review Board meeting and we ask for the highest level of architecture.We have a TAC committee that involves all the City Agencies and Departments. Then we file for DP/ADLS process,and we have a public hearing for this.I believe there's a lot of opportunity for people to be involved.This project follows what we are trying to do for the core of our City.Rachel Keesling: There's not a set schedule for a C-2 public hearings, it is scheduled on a by a project-by-project basis. We do work through all the details, so it meets the requirements of the UDO prior to the Plan Commission Hearing Officer public hearing.Anyone can attend and has a right to speak at the C-2 public hearings. Christine: Are the 4-story townhomes going to meet the required height limits adjacent to residential per the C-2 zoning? Adrienne Keeling: If the standards of the C-2 zoning are not met,then they would seek a variance. Brad: Can the PC members add our input?Adrienne Keeling:Yes. Josh: I don't understand why we can't develop this second block through a full Plan Commission public hearing. Mike Hollibaugh,Director of DOCS: With the feedback we heard tonight, is very useful for us prior to any site plan. The process is virtually same,and with each C-2 redevelopment project, it gets better.The CRC Architectural Review Committee is more publicly orientated now than it previously has been. Consideration of the public input we heard tonight will be put towards the design.All these C-2 projects get the same attention from Staff. I would like to point out the streets are public,and if no parking is imposed on 1st Street SE,that is not up to us,but by the Police and Engineering Departments.Brad: Can you speak to us at all how the parking would be provided by this project and how would the off- site parking work for this project? Mike Hollibaugh: The concept plan we saw provides enough parking.The Lion's Club parking lot is sometimes full,and we can't rely on them for parking. We have street parking all through downtown and free parking garages. Christine: Are there any of the concerns you heard tonight that you and Staff can enforce on this project, such as the parking and landscape?Mike Hollibaugh: Staff pushes the CRC on the sensitivity issues. We can respect the Old Town Overlay Zone in how it applies to townhome designs. Alan: During the rezone proposal process for a C-2 rezone, a development plan(DP)is not required,but we want to know what is coming through.Mike Hollibaugh: We've done a number of rezones where nothing was being proposed and we didn't have a developer,but we were trying to position the land.Alan: I get feel that the PC wants to get more involved. Brad: The C-2 district was endorsed by the Plan Commission at that time and agreed to delegate C-2 DP/ADLS proposals to the PC Hearing Officer. If we are uncomfortable with this process,then we need to amend the Ordinance.Mike Hollibaugh: A public hearing is still required by law,and nothing gets approved until all issues are addressed and resolved. 8 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes 9-20-22 A Motion made by Buckler and seconded by Hill to suspend the Rules of Procedure in order to send PZ-2022- 00167 Z to the City Council. 5-3,Holle,Potasnik,Kirsh,absent Rider.
