EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
The subject site is approximately 0.74 acres and located at the intersection of Maple Avenue E and Center Street N. The site currently is occupied by two vacant office buildings and associated surface parking. The applicant proposes redeveloping the site under Maple Avenue Commercial (MAC) zoning regulations.
The Planning Commission held public hearings on April 24, 2019 and May 8, 2019. The public hearing was closed on May 8, 2019, and the decision continued to May 22, 2019. At that meeting, the Planning Commission voted 5-2 in favor of recommending that Council approve both the rezoning and modification.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved the conditional use permit for assisted living by unanimous vote (5-0) on May 15, 2019 with conditions that permit approval is contingent upon Town Council's approval of the rezoning and that the permit shall become null and void 24 months after issuance if construction or related operations has not commenced.
After receiving feedback at the Planning Commission meeting on May 8, 2019 and Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on May 15, 2019, the applicant has submitted updated proffers and exhibits showing a reduction in commercial retail space and assisted living units, removal of the mezzanine level, and revised parking analysis. Staff has revised the fiscal impact analysis based on comments from Planning Commission members May 8, 2019, which is included in the attachments.
Departmental Recommendation: Staff finds that the application meets zoning ordinance requirements with the request for modification of requirements and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan 2015 Update.
