The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. Answering roll call were Al Bowman, Frank Biondo, Stephen Kaspar, Stephen King, Mike Lombardo, Gale Perkins, Ray Uhl and Mike Soler. City Planner Sarah Wagner, Community Development Assistant Rhonda Smith, Fire Marshall Keith Payne, Community Development Director Mike Duffy, Alderwoman Jill Hammond, Jared Hagedorn from Generator Studio and Courtney Kounkel from Monarch Build were also present. Members absent were Barrett Morehead and Mayor Kathy Rose. Approval of Minutes of June 28, 2021. Commissioner Biondo moved to approve the minutes of June 28, 2021, seconded by Commissioner Lombardo. Motion passed 8-0. Final Development Plan – Riverside Soccer City Planner Sarah Wagner gave a report regarding development of a soccer complex in Horizons. In 2010, the City had set aside a portion of property in Horizons for mixed use including recreation, office and retail. The 12-acre project includes soccer fields, offices and a maintenance shed. Grading and irrigation for the project has already started at the risk of the developer. The building will be composed of a new first rate metal construction material which is a newer development in building architecture. Commissioner Perkins wanted to know if the metal structure would be more attractive to lightning and be durable for tornados. Jared Hagedorn said the building would not be more attractive to storms than the buildings currently located in Horizons. Commissioner Kaspar wanted to know how a recreational facility would work with the Tax Incremental Financing district since collections are based upon the number of employees. Mike Duffy noted that the TIF financing will end in 2028 and the city will be more dependent upon sales tax. This mixed used development will spur more retail and businesses that will earn sales tax. Commissioner Soler wanted to know if the fields would have any type of environmental impact due to runoff. Hagedorn said that according to Olsson the impact would be minimal due to the soccer pitches being a soft surface as opposed to hard surface parking lots. Commissioner Biondo made a motion to approve the Final Development 2 Plan – Riverside Soccer recommend to the Board of Alderman; seconded by Commissioner Lombardo Motion passed 8-0. Adjourn Commissioner Uhl moved to adjourn at 6:51 p.m. Commissioner Bowman seconded and the meeting was adjourned 8-0. __________________________ Rhonda Smith Community Development Page 1 of 1 General Information Applicant: City of Riverside Location: Horizons Soccer Application: Rezoning - Amendment to the regulations associated with the Planned Development Existing Land Use: Undeveloped/Office Proposed Land Use: Recreation, Office, Retail, Mixed Use Procedure: The procedure for a rezoning requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission after at least 15 days notice has been given in a newspaper of general circulation and mailings to property owners within 185 feet of the proposed project. The public notification requirements have been fulfilled for this application. Analysis: In 2007 the property was rezoned from GP-I to PD, however no PD regulations were adopted at that time. It was stated that each development would be looked at on a case by case basis for conformance with the approved Comprehensive Plan. The utilization of PD regulations was specifically put in place so that the Planning Commission and Board of Aldermen would have the ability to review development plans for each property within the Horizons area to ensure that it meets the Comprehensive Plan approved by the City. A new development has been approved unlike anything we have in the City and required a special set of PD regulations to govern their development. Staff has worked to keep the overall feel of the development intact while making new provisions for this development. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone property by adopting specific PD regulations as it is conformance with the Comprehensive Plan Attachments: - Location Map - Proposed Regulations.
