V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant wishes to modify the original development agreement to allow for minor vehicle repair
within the development. With the current DA (Instrument # 2015-043235), the Council approved a
conceptual development plan and specifically disallowed several uses that would otherwise be
allowed within the C-G and L-O zoning districts. Minor Vehicle Repair was one of the uses
specifically prohibited within the development due to the close proximity of residential uses.
The previously approved concept plan depicts three office pads, three commercial pads and one drive-
through pad. The drive-through pad has since developed as a Dutch Bros coffee kiosk. The concept
plan is not being modified as part of this application, however, the applicant wants to be allowed to
have minor vehicle repair allowed within the development agreement.
The original DA limits the uses in the development because of the proximity to sensitive residential
areas such as the residential care facility further to the east. Staff is of the opinion that the C-G
portion of the development is far enough (approximately 193 feet) from the care facility that allowing

the remainder of the previously prohibited uses will not adversely impact the residential areas
surrounding the development.
In addition to the 193 foot distance between the two uses, there is also a drive aisle, two five foot
landscape buffers, several buildings and a public street between them. Admittedly, there is a
residential property that abuts the south side of the proposed minor vehicle repair use, but the
overhead doors will face north, and the applicant is required to install a 25 foot landscape buffer to
the south, so any sound impacts should be minimal.
The proposal to change the previously prohibited uses a permitted only applies to the C-G zoning
designation. The previously prohibited uses would remain as prohibited in the L-O zoning
designation.
Allowing minor vehicle repair within the development would still require the applicant to obtain a
certificate of zoning compliance and administrative design review approvals, both administrative-
level applications, prior to obtaining a building permit.
Lastly, there was a property boundary adjustment (PBA) application submitted to modify the parcel
boundaries within the plat (A-2018-0241). The PBA received tentative approval from the Planning
division, however, staff has become aware that a common lot was inadvertently included in a larger
parcel. The final plat for Larkspur Subdivision No. 1 lists Lot 5, Block 1 as a common lot. In order
for the lot to be included in the larger commercial lot, the applicant will be required to receive
approval of a final plat modification to remove that lot as a required common lot for the subdivision.
VI. DECISION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed development agreement modification application as
shown in Section VIII.
