Interesting that they haven’t shown what they intend to do with the property (Item#14);
Live-Work District

• Senior Housing, including medium-density family housing

• Twin Homes/Townhomes
At this time, a specific development plan has not been provided by the applicant, however staff has prepared a concept plan based on discussions with the applicant and neighborhood representatives.
I guess we will wait and see what they plan to do with the land.
The concept plan is just a very general “sort of like this kinda stuff” thing. It’s just to allow the commission to wonder – Hmmm, would something like this work here?” The next step, IF the commissions says “Well, maybe. So, show us more.” is to develop a “preliminary plan”. THAT will show , more detailed description of the specific street and use layouts. THAT plan is subject to engineering staff review for compliance and conformance. It’s a long process.
