DEPARTMENT REPORT

2h. Docket Nos. 04060035 OA and 04060036 Z: Village of West Clay
The applicant seeks to amend their PUD ordinance. The applicant also seeks to Rezone
30 acres from S-I/Residence-Estate to PUD-Planned Unit Development. The site is
located at 131st St and Towne Rd.
Filed by Brandon Burke of The Schneider Corp, for Brenwick Development Co.
. The Department Report for the above two items (04060035 OA and 04060036 Z) has been
consolidated. Both the text amendment and rezone pertain to proposed changes within the
existing PUD and the addition of 30 acres at the northwest comer of 131 st Street and Towne
Road. The applicant is proposing modifications to the text of the existing WestClay Village
Planned Unit Development District as noted within their informational booklet. The primary
components include the introduction of "Senior Housing" between 126th Street and Glebe Street
west of Towne Road and the addition of 30 acres at the northwest comer of 131 st and Towne
Road. This 30-acre area includes a proposed area of housing and retail services as depicted. The
Department views the amendments and rezone as positive changes in the evolution of the Village
of West Clay and an appropriate response to the visible growth within this area of the
community. The proposed amendments, as well as the rezone, will require final action by the
City Council after study by the Plan Commission. The Department requests that the applicant
provide the Plan Commission with the following in order to evaluate their proposal and make" an
informed recommendation to the Council:
1. Supplement the "red-lined" version. of the ordinance with an explanation of the proposed
new language section-by-section. This can be done at the committee meeting and/or
provided to the commission members in written form (depending on direction of the
Commission). Please note that the Department has reviewed the ordinance language
under tab three of the informational booklet and building guidelines under tab 4. The
representations made in the summary, renderings and proposed district exhibit appear to
conform to the Ordinance and building guidelines.
2. illustrate for the Commission the logic behind modifications to the primary area and
senior housing designations applied west of Towne Road.
3. The applicant should "present and the Commission should evaluate the proposed retail
component in the context oithe Comprehensive Plan (see enclosed pages).
4. Provide a report regarding past road commitments, the revised traffic analysis, the
additional level of proposed improvements and improvements that have been made in the
area that necessitate consolidation of all previous commitments into a single revised
document. Some but not all of this information is contained under tab 6 of the
information booklet.
The Department recommends that these items be forwarded to the Special Studies
Committee on September 7th for further discussion.
