PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS 17. Public Hearing: PUD-125, Carpenters Training Trust Fund — Consider an application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) development plan to demolish an existing, approximately 68.000- square-foot building and construct an approximately 87,000-square-foot two-story Carpenter's Training Center (CTC) building and outdoor training and storage yard with associated site improvements located at 2350 Santa Rita Road Planning Manager Ellen Clark presented a staff report. A PowerPoint Presentation was displayed. Slides were presented to reflect the proposed project including: Proposal for PUD to demolish and reconstruct the existing Carpenter's Training Center (CTC) facility at 2350 Santa Rita Road, project timeline, existing site views, vicinity map, site plan, architecture, current versus proposed operations (increased use), parking analysis (phasing plan to include alternate parking sites off- site), proposed landscape plan: Santa Rita frontage, views from Santa Rita Road (frontage and sidewalk), and conclusions and recommendations. Planning Manager Clark reported receiving correspondence from David Blackwell, Legal Counsel for the Applicant, providing rebuttals to staff's recommendations and revisions to the Conditions of Approval. Mayor Thorne noted the staff report states the outside work will not have further impacts in terms of noise and inquired regarding the location. Planning Manager Clark stated it is very similar to the existing location and referenced the Noise Analysis. She added staff performed an analysis of the various setbacks in the area and noted the Setback Comparison. In response to Mayor Thorne's question, Planning Manager Clark reported many of the buildings in the area have parking out front. Community Development Director Gerry Beaudin referenced the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan and reported the thought was, over time, this would transition into a more bike- and pedestrian- friendly corridor. Councilmember Olson asked if the new facility would be constructed and the existing facility would be demolished, and Planning Manager Clark confirmed that to be accurate. He inquired regarding the art piece and Planning Manager Clark stated staff agreed it should be more substantial than was proposed. Community Development Director Beaudin added that the Planning Commission deferred the matter of the art piece to the Civic Arts Commission for further review and consideration. Councilmember Brown referenced the corner where the Eden Villa Assisted Living is located and reported there is a bio-swell and an existing use for project training. She spoke about maintaining the area around the assisted living facility in a quiet and respectful manner, and inquired regarding the types of uses that could be located in the area. Planning Manager Clark reported the site has a training facility and a storage area. Councilmember Brown indicated her preference that it remain a quieter use and continue as a storage facility. Community Development Director Beaudin addressed the location of the project and training area, referenced the completed noise study, and reported there will be an eight-foot CMU wall to ensure the area is noise-buffered and protected. Councilmember Brown noted the applicant's legal counsel requested striking a condition requiring the developer to implement an incentive program to employees encouraging the use of alternative transportation. Community Development Director Beaudin understood the applicant's concerns about ongoing operational costs, and it is not typical to add such a condition.
