SUPERIOR TOWN CENTER APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Superior presentation: Mayor Andrew Muckle reviewed the key components of the Superior Town Center approved development plan through a land use map. The development begins just south of Old Chicago, at the Ice Rink, with a proposed hotel site. He noted the projection for sales tax development in the area far exceeds the 250,000 square feet and is within the 400,000 square foot range. The building adjacent to the hotel is Ranch Sport, a 160,000 square foot building, which will generate 40,000 square feet of retail sales tax. Other developments along McCaslin Boulevard will generate retail sales tax in the Town Core. He noted more detailed architectural drawings could be made available if the Council wishes. The residential section is located on the south section, however there is some residential in the core, located north of 3`d Street. Parking is accomplished through parking structures within the development. He noted there will be floodplain mitigation because of Coal Creek. COUNCIUBOARD QUESTIONS COMMENTS Mayor Pro Tem Dalton asked whether the flexible use and commercial spaces not specified as retail in the land use plan could become uses by right for commercial without being reviewed by the Board of Trustees. Mayor Andrew Muckle stated the PD does not provide a use by right. Mayor Pro Tem Cirelli confirmed every portion of the development must come back before the Board for approval. He explained the Board must be reasonable in the approval process and consistent in the preliminary development, but nothing will go forward without the Board's approval. Mayor Andrew Muckle noted the Board cannot dictate what will happen and/or stipulate exact types of retail uses. Council member Stolzmann inquired if the commercial could be labeled retail on the land use plan. Mayor Andrew Muckle stated they could, however the market may not respond. They do not want to build retail that will remain vacant based on conditions of approval.
