MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION November 28, 1983 Page 3 Commissioner Lindsey then asked Mr. Mahoney if he had a concern with rezoning the property for an office use. Mr. Mahoney said he didn't as long as the parking can be controlled. He felt the "P" zoned property served as a barrier and with office use the parking lot probably wouldn't be used after 6:00-7:OOpm which is what he prefers. Commissioner Doherty stated that a limited access parking lot was discussed a long time ago when the shopping center first got its approval and felt a limited access parking lot would be in the best interest of the abutting homeowners. Nancy Pozzebon, 2808 Longspur Drive, stated her home backs up to the "P" zoned property. She stated the shopping center has a parking problem and was concerned that the overflow would park on the 1.6 acre parcel next to her home. She said the City previously decided they would protect the homeowners with a buffer. She felt that it was not necessary to discuss this issue every two years. She said she would like to work with Capital Conveyance Company and help them out but wants the concerns of the homeowners to be taken into consideration. She stated that the previous owners did not live up to their promises by planting shrubs, etc. Commissioner Lindsey informed Mrs. Pozzebon that no plan had yet been received for the subject site and that when plans are received, a public hearing will be held. Ms. Pozzebon said she is-aware of that. Chairman Jamieson then asked Ms. Pozzebon if she preferred the "Public and Institutional" land use designation over "Commercial and Offices." She stated they would object to "Commercial." Commissioner Getty explained to Ms. Pozzebon that the general plan does not have a straight "Office" designation but that it is called "Commercial and Offices." She stated that the zoning would more precisely define the uses. Commissioner Doherty stated that the developer probably intends to apply for PUD zoning which would allow more conditions than under regular zoning. Setbacks, uses, etc. would be more strictly controlled. However, the P-I land use designation allows for a DMV, schools, parks. He indicated that DMV is at another location; the School District has stated there isn't a need for more schools and he didn't see the City rushing to build a park on the site. He felt controls can be put on the property to alleviate the legitimate concerns of the neighbors. He suspected that Capital Conveyance is making more of an effort that the previous owners to work with the neighbors. Ms. Pozzebon agreed that they are making more of an effort. Chairman Jamieson inquired about the statement made earlier concerning limiting the parking. He indicated he would like to have the record checked on this item. Commissioner Doherty felt that when Tam Investment applied for the shopping center he believes there was discussion concerning limiting the hours of operation, thereby controlling parking. Pat Mahoney, 2128 Longspur, asked if a plan would have to be submitted before restricting the parking. Commissioner. Doherty said this is correct. Commissioner Wilson had real concerns about the 1.6 acre site being a separate parcel and would like it included in the PUD zoning. He stated that he would like to make it clear that the Planning Commission intends the site to be used for offices only. -3- -r _ .._ . _.. _~. __ _.. ._. .__ _. ..._ ._ _..R..
