This clasification was being established because most lots recently reviewed by the Commission have been larger than the required size in R-1 but smaller that the rural requirements and because staff felt there .should be a. zoning: classification that would meet the specific land use classification of medium density single family, which is included in the Comprehensive Plan. The last change this amendment included was to add. provisions to allow for retail. sales of concrete products associated with .temporary construction facilities as conditional uses in any zoning district. This was a Council direction influenced by the hatching plant in Pebble Creek Chairman Massey.. opened the public hearing. Seeing no one present to speak in favor of or in opposition to this amendment, the public hearing was closed. The Commissioners wanted to see a footnote added in Table A to clarify that both minimum lot sizes and densities need to be met. The .Commissioners were .concerned with the allowance of the concrete sales. within neighborhoods. Ms. McCully .reminded the Commission that since these would be conditional uses, -the Commission would have final approval of the retail sales portion of the business.. She said that this would give the City better protection :because as it is stated currently in the Zoning. Ordinance, concrete plants are permitted. uses in any. zoning district .when associated. with temporary construction facilities, and .time constraints or other .conditions set forth for the retail sales :may influence the timing and location of the primary use. Commissioner Kaiser .said he still disagreed because. by definition, sale of concrete is a wholesale business and large .trucks going through neighborhoods are not allowed as a "matter of right". Commissioner Maloney. agreed, ..adding he does not #hink this°is a wise change to the ordinance. Commissioner Kaiser moved... to recommend approval of .the. amendment with the .exception that. the section allowing. retail sales of concrete products is pulled from .the. amendment until further research is done; and with the addition of afootnote-clarifying .minimum lot size and depth.. to Table A referring to the R-1B zoning district. `Commissioner'Maloney seconded the motion which passed unopposed (7-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a Master Plan and Preliminary Plaf of approximately 7.6 acres divided into 6 commercial tots located at the northeast corner of Woodcreek Drive and the SH 6 East By-Pass, C©rnerstone Commercial Phase'II .Subdivision. (98-323) City Planner ,Kee presented the staff report and stated that this item would be a public hearing. She explained that this commercially: zoned tract was being. divided into six lots for the development of an assstedliving care facility to'be phased over four of the lots in the subdivision. The two remaining lots with State I~ighway 6 frontage will be reserved for future. commercial development. _Waer and sewer service would be extended into the site from existing lines in Woodcreek but easements must be provided to cover the extensions. Staff recommended approval of the Master Plan and Preliminary Plat contingent upon determination of appropriate easement locations and how drainage would leave the site. Commissioners asked if staff was .aware of what would be built on the remaining two lots. City Planner Kee said that she had not been informed: P&ZMinutes Oetober 1, 1998 Page 3 of 9 r ~ ,w Chairman Massey opened the public hearing. Daniel Heischman, Project .Manager, said that the applicant was not sure what. would be developed on the. two remaining lots. The assisted living facility will. specialize in Alzheimer patients. The developers for the assisted living facility. are very experienced with the development of these types of facilities and they will ensure. safety of the residents. Commissioner Rife asked staffwhat type of buffering was proposed. Ms. Kee said that a six foot wood fence would be required at the time of site plan approval. Commissioner Garner asked if the detention area was: safe for the patients. Mr. Heischman said they are proposing an approximately one foot berm around the detention and the water would not be very deep.. Chairman Massey closed the public hearing. Commissioner. Rife felt buffering may be an issue for the surrounding property owners and wished the Citycould require more for the development. Ms. Kee explained that buffering is usually handled at zoning or site plan and since the zoning i already established on this property,' it will be handled with site plan review.. Commissioner Maloney expressed his concerns for the safety: of the patients and did not feel a fence alone would keep. them from wandering from the facility. Commissioner Parker moved to' recommend. approval of the Master Plan and Preliminary Plat contingent upon determination of appropriate easement locations .and drainage. .Commissioner Garner seconded the motion which. passed unopposed (7-0).

Road. Staff reviewed the final plat and found general compliance with the :Subdivision Regulations with. some minor comments. The plat presented to the Commission shows that the applicant addressed all comments with the exception that the plan boundary is not clear as to whether or not Clayton. Lane is a .part of this plat.
