Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 9, 2018 Page 10 of 12 Dean stated that each PUD needed a traffic assessment. The applicant was putting up a financial guarantee for the signal in the subdivision agreement. Zuccaro added that C-DOT controls whether something warrants a signal after an applicant submits a traffic study. Hsu asked if the other parties would have to do another assessment in the future if the payment were to be deferred. Dean confirmed that with each application would require an updated appraisal of the property. Williams asked what kinds of businesses would front the church. Dean stated that there was a list of approved uses for the zone. Williams asked if drive-thrus were an approved use. Zuccaro stated that drive-thrus were SRUs. He added that the development was being laid out for individual buildings such as banks and buildings and not an in -line strip mall layout. Brauneis asked for the applicant presentation. Pastor Jim Candy described his church's involvement in community engagement and his plans to use the new location for more such engagement. He described the risks to the church in moving to a new place and conducting a building project. He explained why they were asking to defer the land fees, saying that Ascent Church could not afford to take on those fees and the other applicants were requesting the deferrals. He addressed the subdivision modification request and described how the PUD met the criteria. He stated that this was a unique situation with three different owners so it was not setting precedent. He did not think that the property would ever be developed concurrently among the three owners. Finally, he stated that the City would benefit from the application by getting land, cash, commercial development and tax revenue. Getting the deferment was a faster path to getting the cash -in -lieu, since the development itself would help the other owners pay it back. Brauneis asked for questions of the applicant. Moline asked if Ascent Church was a tenant or an owner at the Sam's Club Location. Candy replied that they were tenants. Williams asked what Candy predicted for the commercial development of the building. Candy stated that there was interest in the front due to afternoon traffic, but he could not say specifically who had expressed interest.
