City Council Meeting Minutes August 4, 2020 Page 3 of 12 attended any meetings on this subject and she was unaware what he was referring to. She added she received emails in support of Erickson Living on August 1 st that came in alphabetical order and arrived approximately every two minutes. When responding to note the emails had been entered into the record, many of those emails were undeliverable and one person she responded to noted they had not sent the original email. There were no other disclosures. Mayor Stolzmann stated the plan for tonight will be to get as far as possible in the agenda, but if we are still going at 10 pm we will finish what section we are on and continue this to another evening. She noted public comments will be limited to three minutes. Director Zuccaro stated the applicant for this project is Brue Baukol Capital Partners. There are two requests and the first request for a Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) Amendment impacts the second request for General Development Plan (GDP) amendment so staff is presenting them together. He reviewed the site and location and he reviewed the history of the property noting it is the former StorageTek parcel. It was later approved to be the ConocoPhillips campus with 2.5M square feet of development with varying building heights between 2-5 stories. The campus was never built. A Metro District has been formed on the property. City Council approved the Service Plan in February and there was an election to form the districts in May. It allows up to 60 mills in property tax; 50 mills to fund infrastructure and 10 mills for operations as well as debt issuance up to $168,750,000 with a maximum 40-year term. City Council put a condition on the service plan approval that the Comp Plan amendment and final cost estimates for the project would need to be approved with a final plat before debt could be issued. Director Zuccaro reviewed the Comp Plan amendment request noting the Comp Plan is not a regulatory document, but the GDP and any future PUDs need to be consistent with Comp Plan policies. The proposal includes requests to change the Special District Designation from Rural to Suburban; change the density from .25 FAR to .5 FAR (meaning a maximum of 3,185,325 sq. ft. to 6,370,650 sq. ft. if applied to the Redtail Ridge plan); specifies heights up to five stories; changes the block length standard from Undefined to 1,000-2,000 ft.; and changes the land use mix to include senior living, multi- family residential, healthcare and lodging. He reviewed the GDP amendment request noting the site is already zoned Planned Community Zone District (PCZD). The municipal codes notes that a GDP proposal is to include proposed land uses; the type and character of development; the number of dwellings; the location of parks, open spaces, recreation facilities and other public facilities; and the location, type and character of streets.
