explanation
STAFF REPORT

This petition is a request to amend an existing Planned Development (PD) to allow additional commercial uses and provide the option of new construction on approximately 3.87 acres of property located at 5402 Northwest 8th Avenue. The applicant intends to continue operating the site as a plant nursery, but proposes adding other uses that will provide a green market approach to the project. The petitioner has the option of constructing additional buildings on site, but the total allowable square footage will not exceed 50,000 square feet. Staff conditions provide design criteria that will be applied to new development or proposed new uses on the site and these conditions will ensure the project will remain compatible with the surrounding residential areas.

The Plan Board heard the petition and recommended approval with modifications to staff conditions. Staff does not support the Plan Board's decision to modify Condition 10. The Plan Board recommendation was to strike the first sentence in Condition 10. Staff recommends keeping the first sentence in Condition 10 as originally recommended: "All new construction shall be architecturally consistent with the existing structures currently on site."
