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. Planning Commission Minutes - 3 — November 7, 2024 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.
