In 2005,a comprehensive <br /> plan amendment and rezone was approved which changed the zoning from R-4 to R-5 subject to a <br /> development agreement with a specific building plan. in 2006,an amended development agreement <br /> was approved. That development wasn't constructed. In 2008,the City adopted the Core Area <br /> Residential Design and Development Standards for the neighborhoods surrounding the downtown area. <br /> Mr. Giffen stated that the applicant acquired more property after the development agreement was <br /> amended. The applicant is proposing to construct a different building than what was approved under <br /> the development agreement. The request is to terminate the development agreement and use the core <br /> area residential design and development standards that apply to the area. <br /> Mr. Giffen presented a map of the area where the core area residential design standards apply. The <br /> development standards include a maximum building height of 65 feet, and address building setbacks, <br /> pedestrian and vehicular access, parking location,open space, building design, landscaping,screening, <br /> and fencing. Staff determined that the core area residential design and development standards were <br /> better than what was in the development agreement. <br /> Commission Discussion <br /> Commissioner Beck asked Mr.Giffen lithe amended development agreement superseded the original <br /> agreement. Mr.Giffen responded that he would review with the City's Legal Department. <br /> Commissioner Jordison asked what the FAR standard was for the core area. Mr.Giffen responded that <br /> there wasn't a Floor Area Ratio(FAR)standard that applied to the core residential area and that building <br /> bulk was governed by building height and setbacks, permitted density, and parking. <br /> Commissioner Zelinski asked Mr.Giffen if any buildings had been constructed since the core area <br /> residential design and development standards were adopted. Mr.Giffen wasn't aware of any. <br /> Commissioner Adams referred to Section 2.6 of the amended agreement which addressed <br /> Commissioner Beck's question on superseding the agreement which appeared to terminate the original <br /> agreement. <br /> 4 <br />
