Executive Summary (General Business): Riverland Associates I & III, LLLP; Riverland/Kennedy II, LLC has applied to amend the development order for the Riverland/Kennedy Development of Regional Impact (DRI) by amending Exhibit “B”, general conditions of approval and Exhibit “D”, master development plan (Map H) of the DRI. Exhibit “B” proposed changes include phase expiration date updates. The inclusion of age restricted dwelling unit minimums and a definition for “age restricted community”. The amendment proposes that the DRI will consist of a minimum of 3,275 age restricted units. The change in land use category for the ITE trip generation from Single-Family Detached Housing to Senior Adult Housing - Detached lowers the peak hour trips. This calculation is used to determine when the conditions requiring certain roadway improvements are triggered. A provision requiring restrictive covenants for the age restricted units and a process to address any additional traffic trips if a community becomes non- age restricted is also included. The amendment also includes updates to completion of conditions and State Statutes updates. Exhibit “D” proposed amendment to the master development plan (Map H) adjusts the locations for the Residential, Mixed Use, and Neighborhood/Village Commercial subcategories to accommodate new development proposals.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a short presentation.
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Board recommended denial of the DRI amendment by a vote of 5 to 1 at their meeting on January 5, 2021.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and adopt the resolution.
2. Move that the Council not adopt the resolution and provide staff direction.
