C10-14-041 REQUEST: Preliminary and Final Plat C12-14-042 approval of CASS PLACE, a Bluestone Development minor plat inside the city limits, with rezoning from R2 to R8 and approval of an ACI-2 Overlay District (laid over from 03/05/14) LOCATION: 7023 Cass Street At the Planning Board meeting held on April 2, 2014, Larry Jobeun, 11440 West Center Road, appeared before the Board. Also in attendance were Christian Christensen with Bluestone Development, and John Coolidge and Dan Owen with Lamp Rynearson & Associates, Inc. Mr. Jobeun displayed a map and discussed the distance from the site location to the neighborhoods 300 feet to 1,000 feet away from the site, and also one-fourth mile to one mile away from the site. He mentioned that the Fairacres and Underwood neighborhoods were approximately one-fourth mile away from the site and noted that Aksarben Village and Memorial Park were approximately one mile away from the site. Mr. Jobeun then mentioned that adjacent parcels to the west and south of the site were zoned commercial and that the property adjacent to the east of the site was a civic use business zoned residential. He also noted the site was within the boundary of the mixed-use area of the Future Land Use map of the City's Master Plan. Mr. Jobeun discussed the proposed project; the existing site would be demolished and two new u-shaped residential buildings would be constructed with an interior courtyard. He explained that the new buildings would be four stories in height and would be constructed in two phases. He then explained that the proposed 434 total units would include studios, convertibles, one bedroom and two bedroom units with average rents at $1,010 per month and that the project consisted of 507 total parking stalls, 248 stalls under the building structure and 259 outside surface parking stalls. He commented that the amenities would include a clubhouse with fitness room, yoga studio, vinyl record listening room, dog spa and bike repair room, and that the outdoor amenities within the interior courtyard would include a pool, walking trail, urban gardens, fitness stations, botche ball court, firepits, picnic area, and pet area. He also noted that the exterior of the building would be constructed to meet Area of Civic Importance (ACI) regulations and displayed renderings of the building elevations, façade, and materials that would be used to construct the development. He added that entrances to the residential portion of the building would be within the parking garage structure and that there would be no entrances off of Cass Street. Mr. Jobeun stated that prior to application submittal to the City, meetings were conducted with the Fairacres & Dundee Memorial Park Home Owners Associations to discuss the proposed project and adjustments were made to the proposed plans. He added that after submittals to the City, another meeting was held with the Home Owners Associations to discuss changes made and that per request of neighbors concerned with traffic, the scheduled Planning Board meeting was delayed to allow a traffic study of the area to be completed. Mr. Jobeun explained that Lamp Rynearson & Associates conducted the traffic study and determined that the four intersections studied (72nd and Cass Streets, 69t and Cass Street into Underwood Avenue, 69th and Dodge Streets, and 72nd and Dodge Streets) operated at acceptable levels of service after full build-out of the development within the 2013, 2016, and 2035 scenarios. He added that the study determined access was also sufficient at full build out of the development and that no additional public improvements were required. He explained that another portion of the traffic study determined that within a 24-hour period, traffic along Underwood Avenue east of 69th Street increased by 1.1% after full build- out of the development. He mentioned that HDR, Inc. reviewed the traffic study and determined that site-generated trips had insignificant impact on any intersection beyond the current study area and also determined that the impact was a 2% increase in traffic along Underwood Avenue east of 69th Street. Mr. Jobeun then distributed copies of the traffic study reports to Board Members and the Planning Department and noted that the Public Works Department also reviewed the traffic studies. Mr. Jobeun mentioned that phase one of the development construction was expected to begin fall of 2014 and that phase two was expected to begin spring of 2015. He also commented that necessary connections would be provided to future developments to the south and the west to allow for dispersement of traffic. Bob Huck, Attorney, 2120 S 72nd Street, Suite 1200, appeared before the Board in opposition. Mr. Huck stated that he represented the Fairacres Home Owners Association. He mentioned that numerous signed petitions were submitted to the Planning Department expressing opposition to the proposed development. He explained that six speakers were selected to speak on different aspects of concern regarding the project. Mary Rensch, 674 N. 63rd Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Ms. Rensch stated that she has resided in the neighborhood for 29 years. As a real estate professional her concerns were that a busier street would have a negative effect on property values, the proposed site use and dramatic zoning change would deter potential new residents and that the infrastructure was not sufficient to handle the increased traffic. Scott Dobbe, 5020 Burt Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Mr. Dobbe stated that he was an architectural professional and a resident of the neighborhood. He then explained that the land use at this site spanning the past 50 years was an appropriate buffer between the low-density residential to the east and the high-density commercial areas to the west and that that a high- density infill development was more appropriate in an area likely to become consistently densified. He also expressed that drastic zoning change should be accepted with community support and that more suitable alternatives existed for this site. Mr. Dobbe concluded that the Urban Design element of the Master Plan promoted protection of older buildings not meeting historic designation. Mark Dunbar, 5601 Western Avenue, appeared before the Board in opposition. Mr. Dunbar stated that he was previously a longtime resident of the Memorial Park neighborhood and recently returned. He expressed that his personal concerns were the high density of the project and that the height of the proposed structures atop the higher elevation on the west side of the property would look extremely tall. He also mentioned that the structure did not resemble the common definition of"rowhouse". Sara Penn, 664 Fairwood Lane, appeared before the Board in opposition. Ms. Penn stated that she resided in her home for 36 years and that the traffic along Underwood Avenue steadily increased over time. She expressed concern that although the traffic study showed no effect on the neighborhood, residents witnessed the congested traffic along Underwood Avenue during peak hours and that eastbound Cass Street to Underwood Avenue carried a high volume of traffic from vehicles using the road as an alternative route to Dodge Street. She then expressed concern that increased traffic would hinder the safety of the school children crossing Underwood Avenue to and from nearby schools. Ann Roberts, 404 N. 61st Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Ms. Roberts stated that she was a resident of the Memorial Park area and a Fairacres Terrace Neighborhood Watch Captain. She discussed how components of the Master Plan promoted the preservation and enhancement of the City's residential neighborhoods. She explained that the large scale and setbacks of the proposed buildings were not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and violated the Master Plan Housing Element Report. She noted that the greenspace within the interior of the proposed structures was not visible to the surrounding neighborhood and also agreed that the long existing zoning preserved and enhanced the neighborhood. Ms. Roberts then discussed that the Housing Element of the Master Plan promoted conservation of existing, stable neighborhoods, encouraged home ownership and that neighborhood character not be changed negatively. She explained that the proposed use promoted no long term ownership in the neighborhood and changed the existing character of the neighborhood. She also discussed that a report prepared for the City by Mead and Hunt promoted the preservation of the Temple Israel property. Barbara McCusker, 616 Fairacres Road, appeared before the Board in opposition. Ms. McCusker stated that she lived in her home for 28 years and was the President of the Fairacres Home Owners Association. She was in agreement with the concerns of prior opponents regarding zoning change, traffic congestion and safety of school children. She also explained that the Master Plan provided guidelines, contained conflicted text within itself and was subject of interpretation with each case. Ms. McCusker noted that in the last 11 days, 1,070 signatures were gained and presented to the Planning Department in opposition of the project. Justin Curtis, Executive Pastor, Coram Deo Church Community, 210 N. 78th Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Mr. Curtis stated that the church desired to purchase the former Temple Israel property and keep the current use. He mentioned that he also agreed with prior opponents regarding the historic value of the property and opposition to the zoning change. Susie Buffet, 6301 Chicago Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Ms. Buffet stated that she was concerned the development would become housing for students attending the University of Nebraska-Omaha and that the students would rapidly increase traffic along Underwood Avenue as a route to the University. She was also concerned the increased traffic would create a safety hazard for children in the neighborhood. Ms. Buffet stated that this development would negatively affect the entire Dundee-Memorial Park neighborhood. John Kerwin, 330 North 68th Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Mr. Kerwin stated that he resided at the corner of North 69th and Cass Streets and that his driveway abutted North 69th Street. He explained that that Cass Street was a four lane road changing into a two lane road at 69th Street and Underwood Avenue and was concerned traffic from the development would increase congestion. He also mentioned traffic exiting the Community Playhouse at 69th and Cass Street caused excessive congestion when in session and that increased traffic would further hamper his ability to use his driveway. He was in agreement with prior opponents that traffic was already an issue, students used Underwood Avenue as a route to the University and that the development was too dense with 54 units per acre. Mayrene Bentley, 710 N. 58th Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Ms. Bentley stated that churches and synagogues provided a moral place for residents and were valuable to the community. Colleen Batcheler, 306 N. 68th Street, appeared before the Board in opposition. Ms. Batcheler stated that she was in agreement with prior opponents that the development did not promote overall community improvement in the area. She discussed community reinvestment and noted that in 2010 she purchased property in the Fairacres neighborhood, built a new home on the lot but preserved the trees and tripled the value of the property. She mentioned that neighbors in the area also spent time reinvesting in the neighborhood to enhance neighborhoods without the assistance of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds. She also noted that the residents' reinvestment into the neighborhood provided jobs, increased property values and raised tax revenues for the County. She then asked the Board to consider the long-term loss of individual community reinvestment the proposed development could generate. Mr. Huck discussed a document previously presented to the Board entitled "Analysis of Cass Place" proposed by the Fairacres Home Owners Association. He highlighted and briefly discussed elements of the document: the zoning change from R2 to R8 would not be acceptable to any neighborhood in the City, high density developments should be located on major corridors, Cass Place was similar to the Legacy Commons proposal but Legacy Commons had only 20 units per acre and also had two light-signaled intersections near the entry points but Cass Place offered none. Mr. Jobeun noted that the development was closer in proximity to surrounding commercial areas than residential areas and discussed how the project was consistent with the Master Plan. He explained that although the property was currently zoned R2, it was within the boundaries of a Mixed-Use area and that the Master Plan also called for diversity of housing. He further explained that the R8 zoning was restricted by the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay regulations and that the development was not presented as student housing. Mr. Jobeun reviewed the aspects of the project design and mentioned that the grade change would create a height of five stories on the west side of the property. He then reviewed aspects of the traffic study and noted that the study was prepared by reputable professionals. Mr. Jobeun confirmed to Mr. Neary that connections and access to future developments would be provided by the developer through the provisions of the subdivision agreement. He also confirmed that the quality of the building materials presented would be maintained or improved and that the developer met with the Planning Department beginning in November of 2013 to discuss elevation and site plans, and continuously revised these plans to reach a higher quality. In response to Ms. Nubel, he explained the material of the wall below the building line that faced Cass Street side was concrete, but that the developer was willing to work with the Planning Department to revise the plan with an acceptable design. Murthy Koti, Public Works Department, stated that City regulations required traffic studies submitted to the City be developed under the supervision of a professional licensed engineer and that the study was completed by a professional licensed engineer in Nebraska. He explained that a professional engineer was required to take a series of exams to obtain an engineer license issued by the state of Nebraska and that a professional traffic operations engineer was also a licensed engineer but was qualified with a specialty focus in traffic operations (such as signal timing, .congestion management and access management). Mr. Koti explained that a draft traffic study was submitted to the City and multiple items were reviewed by qualified staff members of the Department, including members holding the professional traffic operations engineer license. He further explained that the study was required to include scenarios for the opening date of the project and 20 years into the future. He added that after review of the draft, the Department concluded that all intersections studied performed under the acceptable level of service, minor edits were made to the draft and submitted to the engineer for review. Mr. Koti stated that the Department also conducted independent studies and concluded that traffic from the proposed project was not projected to have a major negative impact on the area to the east along Underwood Avenue. In response to Mr. Rosenbaum, Mr. Koti stated that the traffic studies included pedestrian traffic and all vehicle traffic. He also mentioned that traffic along Underwood Avenue has been monitored and tracked by the Department over the past 10 to 15 years to evaluate concerns regarding speeding and that he was aware portions of the infrastructure did not have sidewalks. He explained that because this was a new project, the developer would be required to install sidewalks on the property along Cass Street and all minor streets where sidewalks did not exist. Mr. Rosenbaum further questioned Mr. Koti regarding pedestrian safety. Mr. Koti responded that signalized intersections near the site had signaled crossing features for pedestrians using the crosswalk and that locations to the east of the site were not included in the study. He added that concerns arising outside the study area would be taken into consideration by the Department and evaluated for solutions. Ms. Roberts mentioned that sidewalks existed along Underwood Avenue east of 69th Street but that sidewalks did not exist in the neighborhoods north of Dodge Street from 69th Street east to JE George Boulevard. Dave Fanslau, Acting Assistant Planning Director, commented on the issues discussed. Mr. Fanslau explained that historically sidewalks were not a City requirement and that property owners currently requesting sidewalks in their neighborhoods would be assessed. He further explained that that the site was within an existing mixed-use boundary that allowed increased density and that the Master Plan promoted increased density along major east west corridors, such as Dodge Street, to provide for public transportation options. Mr. Fanslau further explained that design standards for the site were regulated by the Area of Civic Importance (ACI) Overlay District and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay District, and provided for a mix of uses. He added that the Master Plan promoted different types of housing options throughout the City to discourage segregation of single family home away from other uses. He mentioned that the zoning code allowed these two uses and zoning codes to be adjacent, separated by bufferyards and noted that this project exceeded the zoning distance requirements. He stated that the Department recommended approval of the rezoning subject to the approval of a PUD overlay district, approval of the ACI-2 (65) Overlay District, approval of the preliminary plat subject to the 5 conditions on the recommendation report, and approval of the final plat subject to conditions of the preliminary plat and submittal of a final subdivision agreement if necessary. He stated that the Department also recommended approval of the PUD Overlay District, subject to submittal of a final site plan, landscape plan and building elevations in compliance with all applicable site development regulation prior to forwarding the request to City Council. Mr. Neary explained that the Board was obligated to adhere to the code and the Master Plan. He commented that he reviewed all opposition and visited the site numerous times, taking photos and videos. He mentioned that he visited the site at 4:50 p.m. on a Tuesday with no trouble exiting the site onto Cass Street. He then discussed a personal scenario where traffic engineers were successful in predicting the low impact on traffic after the completion of the recent TD Ameritrade project. He also reviewed studies that showed this site was more pedestrian friendly than the City of Omaha overall and that he hoped the project would be an overall improvement to the Crossroads area. Mr. Rosenbaum commented that he was conflicted with his decision but agreed this project was in compliance with the Master Plan. Mr. Rosenbaum moved for approval of the rezoning from R2 to R8, subject to approval of a PUD-Planned Unit Development Overlay District. Approval of the ACI-2(65) Overlay District. Approval of the preliminary plat subject to: 1) The applicant providing for all improvements identified in the final approved traffic study, 2) Dedicating right-of-way to the back of the proposed sidewalk along Cass Street, 3) Coordinating with the Public Works Department regarding necessary arrangements to facilitate the future internal access connections to adjacent sites (e.g. easements, improvements, etc., 4) Coordinating with Metro regarding transit improvements, 5) Compliance with all applicable stormwater management ordinances and policies. Approval of the final plat subject to the conditions of preliminary plat approval and submittal of an acceptable final subdivision agreement, if necessary. Ms. Nubel seconded the motion which carried 4-1, with Mr. Deeb dissenting. Mr. Deeb commented that he was also conflicted but that an opportunity existed to retain the site as a place of worship. 4/14 Pin2209tg PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 16.
