REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF LORD OF LIFE CHURCH PROPERTY; CASE OF LORD OF LIFE CHURCH By: Principal Planner Patrick Trudgeon Background: The Lord of Life Church has applied has applied for sketch plan approval for a minor subdivision to resubdivide several parcels that they own into three parcels. One parcel will contain the church, one parcel is proposed to be developed with two 47-unit senior apartment buildings, and a third parcel is proposed to eventually contain a cemetery. The following items are enclosed: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Sketch plan Narrative of the proposed development submitted by applicant Letter from Jim and Laud Hanson regarding proposed development City Staff Review Letter dated August 31, 2001 Notification: No surrounding properties were notified of the sketch plan submittal. However, the applicant is asking that the property be rezoned and receive a variance which require public heatings. Notices of these public hearings were sent to property owners within 500 feet. Observations: The property is currently zoned R-3U Residential and B-1 Business. The applicant will be asking for a rezoning of the property to MR, Multiple Residential. The March 2001 Draf~ Comprehensive Plan shows this area as being Public/Quasi Public and High Density Residential. The property contains 41.51 acres with 3.63 of these acres classified as wetlands. The sketch plan shows a gross density of 2.21 units per acre. When the wetlands are factored out, the net density for the whole development is 2.42 units per acre. The following chart shows how much space each type of land use proposes to use and its gross and net density. Area (less r-o-w) 42.51 20.53 10.05 10.93 Wetland 3.63 .93 2.70 0 Net Area 38.88 19.60 7.354 10.93 # of units 94 0 94 0 :::':':::: ::' ::':':: :::: ::: ;i: :.:::::: :: :::: ::::::: ! ::: ::::: ~:::i:i:i:i i:i::.:.!::.`::i:i.:.:.:.:.:.i:i:i:i::.:i:i:i:i~:i:::i:i:i:i:i:i:i:~:i:i:i:5:i:i:i:Bi:i:~:i:i:i: :i:i:i: As can be seen from the table, the actual net density for the whole development site is quite low.
