PC-2008-61, PUD-85-09, SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING

EXHIBIT B Findings of the Planning Commission in Support of a Zoning Certificate— PUD -85-09, Sunrise Senior Living December 10, 2008 The Planning Commission hereby adopts the following findings to affirm the determination of the Zoning Administrator that the plans submitted by Sunrise Senior Living ("Sunrise") for the approximately 2.5 -acre property located at 5700 Pleasant Hill Road ("Project Site") substantially conform to the existing planned unit development zoning ("PUD -85-09") previously adopted by the City for the Project Site. Based on the findings set forth below, the Planning Commission hereby confirms the Zoning Administrator's determination that the Refined Submittal substantially conforms to PUD -85-09 and hereby authorizes the Zoning Administrator to issue a Zoning Certificate confirming that the plans and supporting documentation, attached as Exhibit A to Resolution No. PC -2008-61, ("Refined Submittal") substantially conform to the existing zoning for the Project Site. BACKGROUND ON PUD -85-09 The City approved a Planned Unit Development zoning ordinance (PUD -85-09) in 1985 that allows for development of a senior retirement facility on the Project Site. 2. The City has previously determined in the context of a similar proposal for the Project Site in 2000 by Willow Partners LLC that the existing planned development zoning on the Project Site — PUD -85-09 — remains valid and that no further discretionary approval is required for a senior retirement facility substantially conforming to the 1985 approval to proceed (City Manager Memorandum to, City Council of April 25, 2000). 3. The Project Site has a "Retail/Highway/Service Commercial; Business and Professional Offices" land use designation under the City's General Plan. The General Plan provides that all projects receiving PUD development plan approval be deemed to be in compliance with the General Plan prior to approval. 4. The City has previously determined, in the context of a similar unbuilt proposal for the Project Site in 2000, a proposed senior retirement facility to be in substantial conformance with the 1985 PUD approval.
