Mr. Bocian replied that it would probably be early 80's for Kottinger Place Commissioner Ritter asked in there are many 65- year -olds there. Mr. Bocian replied that there are some. He added that over at the Ridgeview Commons project which the City owns, there is a little bit of movement towards a younger population than it has had in the past, but generally it is an older population. Commissioner Allen asked Mr. Bocian to comment on a statement made by one of the neighbors with respect to parking that possibly the wait -list people who would come on board would be younger and therefore, there might be additional parking requirements. Mr. Bocian replied that first of all, there was a lot of discussion by the Task Force about the parking, and the City has been very concerned about that, so staff looked at what it currently operates and is involved with. He stated that the parking ratio at Kottinger Place right now seems pretty good. He noted that while there were problems a few years ago, the parking issue was resolved with the addition of a few spaces. He added that at the Ridgeview Commons project, the parking ratio is good and there are no parking issues, even though the population tends to be younger and there are guests there quite a bit. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the ratio is also .eight space per unit. Mr. Bocian replied that Ridgeview Commons has a little more than that, and Kottinger is at .8 now. Ms. Goldware confirmed that Kottinger Place is at .8 and Ridgeview Commons is actually a little more than 1, with 133 of the 218 spaces assigned, which means that basically, 133 residents there have a car and then at any given time, including peak times, about 25 percent is not used; it is just extra parking. She noted that there are some other properties in the City that are maybe a little under - parked, and so they are trying to get into where that happy medium is. She further noted that they found that at their new construction of senior developments where they are implementing a .8 ratio, it has been very successful. She added that it is not a guarantee that everyone who moves in is 62 years old and will stay for 30 years; it really will depend on the wait list preference we set with the City. She indicated that they expect to receive 3,000 applications for these units; that she is already getting calls as to when this is going to be complete. She stated that they will have to do a lottery process for those units once everyone applies, and everyone remains on the wait list. The Commission then considered the Discussion Points. A. Is the proposed General Plan land use change, density, and PUD rezoning acceptable? All the Commissioners said yes. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 12, 2014 Page 17 of 24
