ATTACHMENT 4 PUD -129, Sunflower Hill Application for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) development plan to construct an affordable 31 -unit multi -family residential community for individuals with special needs, including an approximately 5,000 -square -foot community building with associated site improvements on a vacant 1.64 -acre property to be dedicated to the City, located at 3780 Stanley Boulevard (future 3701 Nevada Street). Zoning for the project site is PUD -HDR (Planned Unit Development — High Density Residential) District. Chair Nagler provided opening remarks regarding the history of the project, which was discussed at a Planning Commission workshop. Associate Planner Jennifer Hagen presented the agenda report. Commissioner Brown recalled that the plans show 31 units with one unit for management and one unit for back-up on-site staff, and he asked which units would be identified for those. Ms. Hagen confirmed and pointed out the rooms on Page A.2.2 of the plans. She explained, there are both designated rooms and non -living areas or break rooms for caregivers. The room marked "studio" on Page A.2.2 is the Sunflower Hill room and the two bedroom units would be for the on-site caregivers. Commissioner Ritter noted Sunflower likes getting community members involved and asked if parts of the project included community volunteers, and Ms. Hagen deferred this question to the applicant. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Susan Houghton, Applicant, thanked staff and commented on the partnership between all involved, including the City and spoke to the structure and intentions of the program and facility. She said they have spoken with several organizations regarding volunteer opportunities and will honor the CUP to not do any subletting of their kitchen. The day-to-day use of the facility will be for residents on site and families who purchase homes for individuals with special needs while maintaining their capacity. Chair Nagler asked about the relationship between Sunflower's board, and SAHA. Ms. Houghton described the LLC structure called Sunflower, LLC at Irby Ranch. It is a 51/49 percent partnership, with SAHA maintaining 51 percent and Sunflower Hill 49.

She described how the partnership will allow for SAHA to maintain the property and services and Sunflower to supplement that as well as facilitate the programming and activities. They will coordinate the responsibilities between the Sunflower non-profit and the SAHA property owner to benefit all residents. Chair Nagler asked about funding sources and timing. Ms. Houghton replied they are applying for four percent tax credits in March which would allow ground -breaking in December.
