6.03: Public Hearing: Request for Sketch Plan Review of NORTHGATE ADDITION (minor Plat) and Request for Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for Northgate Performing Arts Center at the North East Intersection of Sunwood Drive and Peridot Street; Case of PSD, LLC and Northgate Church Public Hearing Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:45 p.m. Presentation Planning Consultant Goodroad presented the Staff report. She explained Northgate Church is proposing construction of a performing arts center that will include 504 auditorium seats, two classrooms, along with a nursery and lobby areas on the property for the parcel located on the northeast comer of Sunwood Drive and Peridot Street NW. Northgate Church is requesting Sketch Plan Review of NORTHGATE ADDITION (Minor Plat) along with site plan review and a conditional use permit for the proposed Northgate Performing Arts Center. In order to accommodate the request, the parcel must be platted as part of the request for NORTHGA1'E ADDITION. Planning Consultant Goodroad explained the subject property is zoned Mixed Use and is located within the COR3 sub -district. Institutional uses are allowed as a conditional use. The proposed structure is 15,242 square feet in size with a future expansion area identified on the site plan immediately north of the proposed structure of approximately 13,000 square feet. Staff reviewed the proposed site plan in detail with the Commission. She discussed a proposed street presence to meet the 60% standard along Sunwood Drive. Planning Consultant Goodroad discussed the parking issues with this site noting shared parking would be needed on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. City requirements call for a total of 101 parking stalls and the applicant is proposing 43 stalls. In addition, 40 proof of parking stalls (on -site) and 25 on street parking stalls were available to fulfill the parking requirements. She noted it was the intent in the COR that sites minimize surface parking and create strategies for shared parking between adjacent users particularly when taking advantage of peak and off peak parking cycles. Staff is generally supportive of the use of on -street parking for the proposed use, as no parking structures were planned in this area. Planning Consultant Goodroad discussed the parking situation in further detail stating the City could require proof of parking to be installed with Phase I due to lack of legally recordable shared parking agreements to meet City requirements of the COR Design Framework. However, another option would be for the City to accept the proof of parking plan with a condition that at such time that parking demand is beyond what is provided on -site and the 25 accepted on -street parking stalls, and extending into additional on -street parking areas beyond 300' radius of the site, such proof of parking shall be installed at the applicants expense. Staff recommended that Phase 2 construction not move forward without recordable cross -parking agreements in place.
