retail/commercial use. However, the maximum coverage per land use type at the time was 70%, <br /> which has since been amended to 75%. Staff provided further comment on the Sketch Plan and <br /> requested the Commission direct the developer to proceed with the Preliminary Plat. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Commissioner Gengler asked if the properties to the east were R-2 Medium Density Residential. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reported this was the case, noting these units were <br /> detached townhomes. <br /> Vice Chairperson VanScoy questioned if a variance would be required to address the 75% use <br /> concern. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill explained the assisted living could be classified as a <br /> commercial use because it is a quasi-commercial/quasi-residential use. Other options available <br /> would be to change the zoning for this area or change the percentage. He noted staff does not <br /> have a formal recommendation regarding this matter. <br /> Vice Chairperson VanScoy opened the meeting to public comment. <br /> Terry Dahlstrom, 6902 139th Lane, stated he had reviewed the information he received from the <br /> City. He was of the opinion the proposed autobody/paint shop was toxic. He feared how the <br /> adjacent senior housing development would be impacted by the proposed autobody shop. He <br /> stated the autobody shop and senior housing were not compatible uses. He feared the <br /> development would be doomed. He stated he opposed the autobody shop within this <br /> development and recommended the City consider a new location for the autobody shop. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill commented on the health and welfare standards that <br /> would have to be followed by the proposed autobody shop. <br /> Joel Lynmeyer, 6912 139th Lane NW, explained he served on the Board of Directors for the <br /> adjacent townhome association. He indicated he did not support an autobody shop in the <br /> proposed location and encouraged the City to find another use for this property. He stated he <br /> supported more townhomes in the area, but noted traffic along 139th Lane would become a <br /> concern. <br /> Al Riesler, Paxmar, thanked the Commission for their consideration of the Rivenwick <br /> subdivision. He explained he appreciated the Commission's feedback on this project. <br /> Vice Chairperson VanScoy asked if the business use was final and decided on. <br /> Mr. Riesler reported this was not final, but noted he had been approached by a business owner. <br /> He noted he was simply requesting a B-2 guiding for the commercial property. <br /> Planning Commission/March 7,2019 <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
