DEPARTMENT REPORT
DECEMBER 15, 2009
1. Docket No. 09090017 OA: 116th and College PUD (116th Street Centre, Ph 2)
The applicant seeks approval to amend Ordinance Z- 484 -05: 116 Street Centre Planned Unit
Development (PUD). The site is located at the northeast corner of 116` St. and College Ave.
and is zoned PUD. Filed by Steve Hardin of Baker Daniels, LLP for J.C. Hart Company, Inc.
The petitioner requests text amendments and conceptual site plan changes to the 116th Street Centre Planned
Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance to permit the development of a $20 million apartment home community.
The PUD currently permits attached townhomes (maximum 80 dwelling units and maximum building heights
of 50 -ft) and retail and office uses. The amendment, if approved, will permit apartment uses (maximum 196
dwelling units and maximum building heights of 60 -ft) within the northern 6.75 acres and establish
development and architectural standards for those uses. If approved, J.C. Hart plans to file its DP /ADLS
applications (involving another public hearing) and begin construction in 2010. Please refer to the
petitioner's informational packet for more detail.
The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) worked with the petitioner on a project layout that will not preclude
a possible future east -west road (117` Street) between Guilford Rd. and College Dr. (and which will facilitate
connections with adjoining property /street network).
Uses adjacent to the residential portion of the site include planned retail and office to the south along 116`
Street, retail and office to the east, office uses to the west and north, and townhomes to the northeast.
This item appeared at the October 21 Technical Advisory Committee meeting where there were no concerns
with the ordinance amendment; future plans will be reviewed when the petitioner submits the construction
plans associated with the DP ADLS applications for the site plan and building designs.
Several members of the townhome development just north of the subject site had a few concerns, mostly about
connectivity and screening. Letters have been forwarded on to the committee members.
Dec. 1 Committee meeting results: The petitioner provided a revised site plan. There was discussion about the
text changes and conceptual site plan changes and neighbors concerns. Then, the committee forwarded this
item to the full plan commission with a unanimous positive recommendation vote.
Outstanding review comments:
1. No outstanding concerns with the ordinance amendment proposal. The final site plan and building
elevations will be reviewed with the DP /ADLS applications to be filed by the petitioner in the near
future.
The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that this item is forwarded City Council with a
positive recommendation.
