Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 11, 2022 Page 7 of 10 Zuccaro says this plan is much simpler and has fewer conditions. Last year's land use plan had many, very specific uses. He discusses the different uses available from last year's to this current one. This plan does not have a sustainability commitment plan and does not have a commitment for installing a certain amount of solar panels. Last years version allowed approximately 3 million square feet of development. This one allows only 2.5-2.6. Last years had slightly less open space and land dedication than this proposed one. Howe says you mentioned the possibility for a hospital for the use. Can you share what blocks or where that could be for the land use? Zuccaro says he will let the applicant clarify the probability of that location. Diehl asks if this proposal maximizes the FAR. Zuccaro says because right now it is just a subdivision plat, it is not addressing how much development will actually go on the property. Diehl says in regards to the 155-acre open space dedication, does that include the 80 acres that were exempt. Zuccaro says when staff calculated the minimum required, there are 80 acres being exempted. There was an 80-acre section of land that was annexed and it was exempt from the public land dedication. That does not mean it was dedicated as public land. It was never dedicated as public land. Diehl mentions that the applicant is exceeding, by a large amount, what they are required to dedicate to public land. He asks if staff can say who owns the mineral rights. Zuccaro says he does not know and would have him refer to the applicant for that answer. Brauneis mentions the PUD includes the 95 foot height for four stories. The reason for that was that ConocoPhillips wanted to have a research facility on petroleum products that would include 20 foot ceiling laboratories. That is part of the existing GDP. How does that mesh with the proposed plan? Zuccaro says this GDP does not authorize this height. It can only be authorized through a PUD application. When the applicant develops this over time, they may want to seek more than three stories. Moline mentions that the slopes along the road are extensive. He is concerned about the grading. Zuccaro says we do have a maximum slope requirement and it does meet that but it just meets it. He says he will let the applicant speak more on their grading plan though. Moline says looking at the list and cost of storm water drainage improvements, he did not see the underpasses. Is that because they are also the storm water facilities? Zuccaro says they will be duel and are captured in that appendix. Krantz asks whether or not the subdivision plat conforms to the ConocoPhillips GDP. She mentions a section of code that she would like staff to speak more on. Zuccaro read section 17.72.160 to the commissioners and explains in more detail how staff interpreted this code section. Krantz mentions that she would like staff and the commissioners to look at the limitations or restrictions of the GDP. She asks staff what limitations they see with this GDP. Zuccaro says the restrictions are the FAR, the CDDSG, this table limits uses and parking, and building setbacks. Howe reads the yard -and -bulk requirements as noted in the staff report. He asks for clarification on the building height maximum such as 65 feet and that not having to go to City Council for approval.
