8. OLD BUSINESS
9. NEW BUSINESS
A. Lutheran Legacy Campus Draft of Zoning Regulations
Ms. Easley and Mr. Cutler gave a presentation about the proposed Mixed Use -
Lutheran Legacy Campus (MU-LLC) zoning regulations. They went over some of
the key topics, then gave information about the process and next steps for the
creation of the zone district.
Commissioner GRAEVE asked how the developer will be encouraged to reuse
existing buildings on the site.
Mr. Cutler confirmed there are three buildings, including the chapel, the blue house
and the TB tent that are required to be addressed by the developer; the other
buildings were not identified in the master plan to keep.
In response to a question about Zone 4 and the lower density overlapping the
higher density, Ms. Easley and Mr. Cutler explained it is fuzzy on the map but
there will not be any overlapping and the first row will be lower density homes and
there will be transitions to taller structures as moving to the middle of the site. Mr.
Cutler also explained the uses that will be allowed in the different zones, and how
some uses are conditional and will only be allowed in certain zones.
Commissioner QUINN inquired if there will be access to Dudley Street from the
site.
Mr. Cutler explained there will be an alley for the homes along Dudley Street so
their access will come from the east. He added there will be some access to
Dudley Street, but it will be for emergency purposes.

In response to a question about vehicles cutting through side streets from 38'
Avenue to 44th Avenue, Ms. Easley explained that they are public streets and the
City cannot stop vehicles from cutting through, but hopefully once the Wadsworth
construction is complete the cut throughs should subside. She added there are no
plans yet with Public Works, but once the site is in the Concept Plan process there
will be traffic studies done.
Commissioner QUINN asked about the 20% of the site that will be dedicated to
open space.
Mr. Cutler confirmed that 20% will be publicly accessible open space which is
unprecedented. There will also be private open space such as yards and multi-
family amenity areas.
There was some discussion about West Pines and Ms. Easley said that due to the
interior conditions it will most likely not be repurposed.
In response to a question from Commissioner DISNEY, Ms. Easley explained that
the interested developers understand the intent of the adopted Master Plan and the
proposed rezoning. She added that if the developer wanted to change anything in
the Concept Plan then there would be a process to make the change.
B. Upcoming Dates
Ms. Easley mentioned there will be a Planning Commission meeting on November
21 and, unless we hear otherwise, also on December 5 and 19.
C. Project and Development Updates
Ms. Easley confirmed that the Outlook II apartments received their CO. She also
mentioned that ballot measures 2B and 2C were both passed by voters.
D. Commissioner Updates
Commissioner DISNEY said she is a member of the Art Spot and the member
show will be held on November 9 from 5-9pm at the Methodist Church on 38"
Avenue. She also congratulated staff on crossing the finish line for 2B and 2C. She
also thanked the City for involving the community.
