SUGGESTED ACTION
Motion to recommend the City Council adopt Ordinance XXX: Amending the Children's Learning
Adventure Planned Unit Development (PUD)
SUMMARY
The city is currently reconstructing Galpin Boulevard; and as part of that project the city needs to
account for stormwater management and mitigation.
The northwest corner of the intersection of Galpin Boulevard and W 78th Street is planned to be the
location of a stormwater facility. In conversation with the land owner regarding the acquisition of the
land area needed for the city stormwater facility, it was indicated that the PUD restriction was
something that, if lifted, would provide the land owner adequate incentive to provide the land area
70
needed for the stormwater facility.
In review of the PUD ordinance currently in place, along with the site characteristics of the parcel
including topography, suspected wetlands, Bluff Creek, existing sanitary sewer and easement, and
overall size/shape of the parcel, city staff is supportive of lifting the development restriction over that
area because the city's other ordinances related to wetland protection, tree protection, creek protection,
easement restrictions, and setbacks required by the PUD still provide the necessary protections to limit
development within those sensitive areas. Additionally, the PUD is intended to provide the city added
benefit that traditional zoning would not provide, and the city acquiring land for the purposes of
stormwater management is a benefit to the entire community.

DISCUSSION
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Ordinance as presented.
