Vice-Mayor Pentin said he felt strongly that the Council should use this opportunity to dedicate more funding to the LIHF for projects like senior and disabled housing and could not support the motion. Councilmember Brown asked and Mr. Fialho confirmed that Alternative 3 allows the flexibility to support options that might address special needs but not necessarily for lower income individuals. MOTION: It was m/s by Thorne/Brown to accept Alternative 3, with direction to staff to work with the school district to submit a proposal for consideration as part of the city's standard priority setting process. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Brown, Narum, Mayor Thorne NOES: Councilmembers Cook-Kallio, Pentin ABSENT: None BREAK Mayor Thome called a brief recess at 9:16 p.m. and reconvened the regular meeting at 9:23 p.m. 11. Public Hearing: PUD-106, John Gutknecht for Habitec Architecture —Consider introduction of an ordinance approving a PUD Development Plan for the construction of an automobile dealership consisting of an approximately 31,792 sq. ft. building with a 2,175 sq. ft. service canopy and 1,250 sq. ft. car wash, and related site improvements on the Auto Mall site at Staples Ranch Associate Planner Shweta Bonn presented a brief staff report, stating that Habitec Architecture, on behalf of Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge, has submitted an application for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the construction of an automobile dealership at the Auto Mall site at Staples Ranch. The approximately 37-acre Auto Mall site is located north of Stoneridge Drive, south of Interstate 580, east of the Continuing Life Communities site, and west of El Charro Road. Of the 37 acres, the applicant proposes to acquire approximately 16 acres located west of El Charro Road, 5 acres of which would be developed as part of this project with the remainder expected to be subdivided into two lots in the future. The site plan is designed to allow access via a road from Stoneridge Drive shared with the recently approved CarMax application. While access from El Charro Road is still shown on the plans, this has been eliminated from the applicant's proposal. If it were to be requested by future developers of the remaining lots, the applicant and staff agree that access from El Charro Road will be reconsidered, subject to the Pre-Development and Cooperation Agreement. Ms. Bonn provided renderings of the conceptual landscape plan and elevations. She directed the Council's attention to one Condition of Approval which requires the applicant to provide a modified south façade, which faces Stoneridge Drive, to include an enhancement of some sort that could include vertical trellises with trained vines or another alternative. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed project at a workshop on July 23, 2014 and a public hearing on August 27, 2014. At the July workshop, the Commission asked the applicant to increase the pedestrian connectivity between all three lots. The applicant subsequently added sidewalks and pedestrian crossings at the intersections. One other comment related to access from El Charro Road, which has since been removed from the project scope. At its August hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the project by the Council. Vice-Mayor Pentin referred to Condition of Approval No. 2 and confirmed with staff that Stoneridge Drive is not considered a residential street for the purposes of vehicle test drives. However, any street off of Stoneridge Drive would be considered residential for these purposes. City Council Minutes Page 11 of 12 September 16,2014
