Planning Commission 7 of 8 Figure 6: Proposed Left Side Elevation PROJECT SITE ALTERNATIVES As outlined in the above analysis, staff believes the proposed development standards, as proposed and conditioned, would be compatible with the other parcels in the neighborhood and not create adverse impacts, and recommend s the Planning Commission recommend approval of the PUD development plan to the City Council as proposed and conditioned. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Recommend denial of the PUD development plan to the City Council. 2. Recommend approval of the PUD development plan, but with modifications, e.g., the Planning Commission can have more (or less) restrictive setbacks, height limits, etc., than those proposed by staff.

Staff recommends none of the alternatives above be pursued.
