Minutes Planning Commissio. 2/13/85 Doherty asked Ms. Hadley if she knew would be the dividing line and that cul-de-saced. Ms. Hadley indicated still had concerns. The public hearing was closed. that the railroad tracks the street is going to be she is aware of this but Mr. Harris indicated that there had been quite a bit of discussion as to whether the winery property should be commercial or residential. Most of the committee agreed that this would be a poor site for commercial property because of the proposed cul-de-sac and the difficulties in getting the traffic in and out of the commercial property. Most buildings on the site are not worthy of preservation. Mr. Harris had a meeting earlier in the week with individuals who asked about having the area for a senior housing complex, but the nature of the small units that would be needed would necessitate a density of more than 29 units per acre. He thought that the applicant would be asking for PUD-High density Residential. He was surprised that these individuals are not present tonight in the audience to speak on the matter. Commissioner Getty asked if this area was in the Downtown Guidelines. Mr. Harris indicated he didn't think it was. Commissioner Getty indicated that many of the concerns expressed can be addressed at the time a development comes before the City. Commissioner Innes disagreed with the comments of Commissioner Getty and felt that issues should be addressed at the time of zoning and not development plan approval. The die would be cast whether the property is zoned commercial or residential. Mr. Harris indicated that the staff is recommending High Density Residential. Commissioner Lindsey was concerned with increasing the density for senior citizens complex and then another user comes in. Mr. Harris explained that PUD High Density Residential sets the density at not lower than eight units per acre. Commissioner Getty stated that for the downtown area to be viable, it needs to be supported by the people living in the area. She didn't like the assumption that it would be ideal for a senior citizens complex. Chairman Doherty would like to see the property rezoned RM-1500 until such time as the development is known. A motion was made by Commissioner Wilson, seconded by Commissioner Getty that the negative declaration prepared for Cases GP-85-1 and RZ-85-O1 be recommended for adoption inasmuch as the General Plan land use change and rezoning would not have a significant effect on the environment. - 7 - ., T
