SUMMARY The applicant, Terry Townsend, is proposing to subdivide an existing parcel into two parcels to allow for the retention of the existing home and site improvements on one parcel (Parcel B) and construction of a new detached, single-family home on a second parcel (Parcel A). Although the subject lot is part of a previously approved PUD, it does not have an approved PUD development plan, which is necessary to establish development standards and uses for any further development of the lot, and which requires review and a recommendation by the Planning Commission to City Council for action. A Minor Subdivision application is reviewed and approved at staff -level, but in this instance is being processed concurrently with the PUD application. A Growth Management Allocation is also required for the new residential unit. The Planning Commission, at the July 14, 2021 public hearing, recommended approval of the project subject to conditions of approval. The item is now before the City Council, who may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the applications. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION On July 14, 2021, the Planning Commission, on a 5-0 vote, recommended approval of the applications based on the project analysis and PUD considerations and subject to: requiring the sidewalk improvements along the project frontage be completed prior to occupancy of the new home. The Planning Commission also recommended the City expedite work to connect the sidewalk along the frontage of 3520 Dennis Drive. The Conditions of Approval are provided in Attachment 1. The Planning Commission agenda report and minutes excerpt are included as Attachments 4 and 5. RECOMMENDATION 1.
