New Business:
C-PZD 08-2894: Planned Zoning District (PARK CENTRE, 136): Submitted by H2
ENGINEERING, INC. for property located at THE NE CORNER OF ZION ROAD/VETERANS
PARK ENTRY DRIVE. The property is zoned RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY - 4 UNITS/ACRE AND
R -A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL, and contains approximately 8.58 acres. The request is for
Zoning, Land Use and Development approval for a Commercial Planned Zoning District with
approximately 100,500 s.f. of office, retail and restaurant space and 15 residential units.
Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the staff report, recommending forwarding the project with
several issues to address as listed in the staff report.
Glenn Newman, Staff Engineer, reviewed conditions of approval listed in the engineering memo
attached to the staff report. The configuration of the Zion Road/new entry road intersection was
discussed in detail. It was discussed that due to an existing drainage inlet, there was the potential
that the exit would need to be reduced to two lanes only, or a waiver for a smaller curb return radius
may be needed to allow for the three lane exit as shown.
Jeremy Thompson, applicant, addressed some of the issues listed in the staff report. He discussed a
need to have three lanes for vehicles exiting the site at the primary entrance off Zion. He also
discussed the need for access to the existing drive to Veteran's park as another option for vehicles to
enter and exit the site.
Roger Boskus, applicant, discussed the background of the project over the past year, he addressed
the potential safety concern of parks staff with utilizing the Veteran's Park drive, and discussed that
he was not aware that the street assessment for Zion Road would be required to be paid as they
thought the construction of a new private street would offset the assessment amount. He also
discussed that if the buildings were oriented towards the street the project would not be financially
viable.
No public comment was received.
Commissioner Trumbo asked about the street assessment and a traffic signal at Zion/Vantage,
Garner discussed background of the assessment agreed to between the applicant and City Council
for street improvements along Zion Road. He discussed that the assessment was mentioned to the
applicant at both technical plat review meetings. He also discussed the potential for this project to
contribute to a traffic signal assessment at Vantage/Zion is not being recommended by staff based in
large part because the applicant is constructing a new public street.
Newman discussed that a traffic study would need to be conducted to determine if a traffic signal
were warranted by this development.
Commissioner Trumbo went through all of the conditions of approval with the Subdivision
Committee that required Planning Commission determination:
