Discuss the Rezoning Application for Williams Pointe Plat 9 from C-IA [Neighborhood Commercial District]to C-IA [Neighborhood Commercial District]and R-3 [Rental Multi-Family Residential],then to PD-l [Planned Development Overlay District].Chad Weaver introduced the rezoning application.Also in attendance were Erin Ollendike of Civil Design Advantage (CDA)and Todd Wiskus of Simonson and Associates.Most of the discussion centered on the proposed mixed use building.Commissioner Schmidt stated his concern that the proposed building is about 600 feet long, with no significant articulation along the front facade.Council Representative Mertz expressed his desire to see more significant breaks along the ridgeline.Mr.Wiskus stated that the developer would be willing to modify the elevations,and also stated that the residential portion of the structure would most likely be rental units and not for sale.The Commission agreed that 70%hard surface materials should be required on the southem and westem elevations,with 40%on the northern and eastern elevations.Connnissioner Hoifeldt questioned how the parking areas would be divided between the residential and commercial users.Mr.Wiskus answered that commercial parking would be in front of the building on the south side, while the apartruent residents would park primarily in the rear of the building.Mr.Wiskus also explained that the exterior materials for all buildings in the plat would be very similar to those approved for the Pirmacle Bank building.Commissioner Krantz asked if late night businesses such as bars and taverns would be allowed in the commercial portion of the mixed use building;Mr.Weaver stated that such uses could be excluded if the Commission saw fit.Ms.Ollendike then addressed the Connnission regarding the developer's request to construct an access to Alice's Rd.in order to allow access to Pinnacle Bank during the University Ave.!Alice's Rd.widening project.A portion of the access may be temporary asphalt,depending on where the Alice's Rd.construction ends in relation to the permanent access point approved with the preliminary plat.Mr.Weaver stated that,instead of a temporary access,the City would prefer the developer construct the portion of SE Olson Dr.from Alice's Rd.to SE Brick Dr.;Ms. Ollendike replied that such construction was not likely to occur in the neal'future.The Commission expressed concern regarding the amount and type of traffic that could use the private drive in order to circumvent the University Ave.!Alice's Rd.construction,and the question was raised as to whether the private drive should be constructed to public street standards in order to handle potential traffic levels. Council Representative Mertz questioned the necessity of the parking lot connection to the lot north of this plat;he stated that he had seen a concept plan for the northern lot,and that the connection did not seem necessary. Discuss the Major Thoroughfare Intersections for Inclusion in the Proposed Site Layout and Design Ordinance.The Commission discussed the list provided by City staff.Chad Weaver stated that the 1-80 intersections may not be practical due to their relative scale.Connnissioner Hoifeldt asked ifthe City should hire a consultant to design concept plans for the amenities that may be required at the chosen intersections;Mr.Weaver stated that the Commission and City staff should be able to do so without the help of a consultant.Commissioner Schmidt questioned how the City would be able to require different developers to construct buildings of a similar character and design at the chosen intersections;the Commission concluded that similar focal points or amenities should be the requirement,and not necessarily the buildings themselves.After some discussion,the Connnission agreed to keep all proposed intersection on the list,with the exception ofthose at Alice's Rd.!I-80 and Ute Ave.!I-80. 164 New Business.Commissioner Schmidt stated that the removed agenda item regarding the rezoning of Westgate Business Park Lot 8 brought up some possible discussion items the Connnission may want to consider,such as spot zoning and mixed uses.
