Planning Commission Minutes 2/10/82 Commissioner Jamieson said he received two telephone calls from persons stating they had just received notice of this matter and the homeowners association is having their .meeting this evening and as a result requested a postponement on the application. Chairperson Getty asked Mr. Harris if he had any comments with regard to this suggestion. Mr. Harris said this is an unusual situation and was brought about at the instigation of the City in order to get proper access to property to the south.. He said the City Attorney had a problem with Condition No. 1 because it actually effects the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Commissioner Wilson inquired as to whether the size of the Rheem development would become larger with the proposed change. Mr. Harris indicated it would be an increase of about four acres. Mr. Swift said the property was zoned I-P and the Rheem development people submitted a PUD application to allow additional uses besides those allowed in the I-P District and now they are askingfor I-P zoning for those four acres. The public hearing was opened. Rich Henkel, Devcon Development, spoke. He said they went along with staff by putting in a street further back and this created a problem with the Catholic Church for their future high school site. He said the Church needs 15 acres for their proposed use.. 50, they have worked out a deal with the Catholic Church to switch properties and the escrow on this will close February 26, 1982. He said their proposal would create a buffer for the high density of Sid Corrie and the affordable housing project proposed by CPK. Further they have committed to the Church to finish Rheem Drive. He indicated that if for some reason Rheem Drive doesn't go in, the property should probably be residentially zoned. He urged approval of their application so that their escrow can close in a timely manner. Mr. Henkel said that if weather permits, the project would start immediately. Mr. Harris said the project couldn't start for a couple of months because rezoning and the General Plan must go before City Council for approval and that wouldn't be much before the end of April or beginning of May. Commissioner Jamieson didn't understand why Rheem Drive is so desired. Mr. Harris explained that no building can take place until Rheem Drive and Trenery have been constructed. Commissioner Lindsey asked if the proposal was denied whether or not the parcel would remain residential from Rheem Drive to the south. Mr. Henkel explained the property switch and that they started out with 110' frontage on Santa Rita Road but because it would possibly cause a hazard they worked out a solution with the staff proposing to put in Rheem Drive to Trenery and Trenery Drive to Santa Rita Road. He indicated that rather than go through condemnation proceedings they had to move the access back; .thus, making a more uniform project. -7-
