Submitted By: Daniel Robinson, Planner III

 

Executive Summary: This is the first amendment to the Verano South POD H PUD document. This request is to amend the PUD to add a 24-hour free standing emergency department as a permitted use, update the street tree requirements, and to update the conceptual plan to show the ingress/egress location off of Crosstown Parkway to the commercial parcel located northeast of the intersection of Sundance Vista Boulevard and Crosstown Parkway to be consistent with the Crosstown Parkway construction plans.

 

Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.

 

Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the proposed amendment as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.

 

Alternate Recommendations:

1.                     Move that the Board amend the recommendation and recommend approval.

2.                     Move that the Board not recommend approval.

 

Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the proposed PUD amendment and concept plan at the June 25, 2025, Site Plan Review Committee meeting. The Verano South POD H PUD was originally approved by City Council on January 22, 2024, per Ordinance 24-01.

 

Issues/Analysis: The proposed PUD is attached as Exhibit “A” of the staff report.  The changes are included in the PUD document and are shown as strike through and underlined. This PUD amendment is consistent with the direction and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

 

The current PUD does not specify any institutional permitted uses. The applicant is proposing to add a 24- hour free standing emergency department as a permitted use. Institutional land uses are consistent with the RGC lands use designation. If further Institutional Uses are to be proposed in the future another PUD amendment shall be required.  The proposed use does not change any of the non-residential entitlements of the Verano DRI.

 

The proposed street tree change is to allow POD H PUD to include consistent regulations with the other Verano PUDs (PODS A, B, C, D, E, G, and PUD 1) that were recently updated with the same language. The PUD currently requires one large street tree. The update allows large and medium street trees to be proposed with a maximum distance separation consistent with the Subdivision Regulations. The update also includes language that if utility or driveway conflicts occur, the applicant may request further spacing or alternate acceptable locations prior to planting. However, the overall number of street trees for a street may not be reduced.

 

The concept plan proposal includes only an update to the ingress/egress location along the southern boundary for the commercial area in the southeast corner of the PUD. Currently the concept plan provides two ingress/egress points along Crosstown Parkway for the commercial site located at the northeast corner of Sundance Vista Boulevard and Crosstown Parkway. The proposed change reduces the ingress/egress to only one. The Crosstown Parkway construction plans show the ingress/egress as proposed with this change. No other changes are proposed at this time.

                     

Special Consideration: N/A

 

Location of Project: The property is located south of Glades Cut Off Road, east of Range Line Road, north of Crosstown Parkway, and west of Sundance Vista Boulevard.
