The applicant is seeking two actions by the Plan Commission, one approval and one
recommendation. The recommendation concerns a request to rezone a 107 acre tract at the
northwest comer of Us 31 and 116th Street from the current B-3, B-6, and S-2 subject to the US
31 Overlay Zone to a Planned Unit Development District (PUD). The other requested action is
approval regarding a development plan and ADLS for the hospital and medical office building.
While the City Council will take final action on the proposed PUD the Plan Commission as
indicated in the PUD, would have final jurisdiction over development plan arid ADLS approval
for proj ects located within the development. Please refer to the information packet provided by

the applicant for an overview of the proposed facility as well as a general layout of the remainder
ofthe site contained within the PUD.
The applicant has spent considerable time with the department in reviewing the site for
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, made appropriate modifications, and proposed
alternative design approaches where appropriate to transition, the uses and development
standards showing sensitivity to the adj acent medium and low intensity residential uses. The
request for a PUD is desired over the traditional zoning classifications contained within the
ordinance to adequately address this complex a facility and the transitioning of uses and
standards required to provide sensitivity both is design and buffering to adj acent residential uses
outside the US 31 Corridor Overlay. In addition to illustrating to the Plan Conunission how this
proposal conforms to the Comprehensive Plan the applicant should be prepared to discuss, in
detail, the improvements they propose to construct to accommodate the traffic generated by the
uses proposed for the site. Additional discussion will likely continue regarding this topic at the
Committee level.
