Recently, Staff met with the Subject Property owner again regarding this site. The Subject Property owner <br />informed Staff that the indoor shooting range proposal was no longer moving forward on the Subject Property. It is <br />Staffs understanding that Total Defense is pursuing other options in an employment district that permits indoor <br />commercial recreation. The Subject Property owner again suggested that the warehousing /recycling user be <br />considered and reiterated that it is their opinion that retail isn't working in this area. Staff had recommended that the <br />Subject Property owner contact the parcel owners to the east and west of the Subject Property to discuss their <br />thoughts on what could be done to improve the success of the retail node. Staff feels that a broader approach is <br />necessary, rather than focusing on individual parcels. <br />Funding Source: <br />This update is being handled as part of Staffs regular duties. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />This retail node has been identified by both the Planning Commission and EDA as a priority area. Staff will be <br />bringing forward this same information to the EDA at their April meeting as well. It is Staffs opinion that both the <br />Planning Commission and the EDA were clear that there was no desire to see the land use in this area change to an <br />employment type of district. At this point, the logical next steps may be to consider other land uses that are <br />compatible with the long term vision of the area as well as the surrounding area. Other variables to consider include <br />analyzing the cost of certain infrastructure components (utilities), and what financing tools may be available. Staff <br />recommends that the Planning Commission await direction of the EDA as it relates to their Work Plan component <br />for the 1 67th Avenue Retail Node. <br />Action: <br />There is no specific action required at this time, this is for informational and discussion purposes only. <br />Site Location Map <br />January 31, 2013 Planning Commission Case <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill (Originator) Tim Gladhill 03/29/2013 08:10 AM <br />Tim Gladhill (Originator) Tim Gladhill 03/29/2013 08:10 AM <br />Form Started By: Tim Gladhill Started On: 03/21/2013 01:42 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 03/29/2013 <br />
