Confluence Management, LLC.
P&Z Commission Hearing Date: June 3, 2004
Recommendation: Approval.
Summary of Public Heariug:
At the June 3, 2004 hearing, testimony was provided by the following people:
- Staff testified on the proposed applications.
- Becky McKay, representative for the developer, testified in favor of the subject
applications.
- Beverly Donahue, an adjacent property owner, testified about concerns regarding the
potential to commercially develop her property, noise in the azea, and access.
- Joe Canning testified about a concern over the City approving other, future,
developments in the azea for non-residential uses if the subject development is
approved. He also provided testimony on mixed-use developments and vertically
integrating uses within buildings.
The Commission discussion focused on the neighborhood center concept and the amount of
non-residential uses within the center. The Commission also discussed the drive aisle and
amenities being in easements rather than common lots (see NOTE below).
Key Commission Changes to Staff Recommendation:
The Commission made only minor modifications to the staff report.
NOTE: At the June 3, 2004 meeting, the Commission discussed not requiring the Applicant
to construct the gazebo areas and picnic tables within common lots. The Commission failed
to include this change to the staff report in the motion. Consistent with what was discussed
at the public hearing, CUP Site Specific Condition #6 on Page 20 should be amended. Said
condition should be modified by deleting the requirement to have the amenities in common
lots, but should require the Applicant to provide a recreational easement for all lot owners
to have access to the amenities.
