Zoning Update has five areas:
REVISION #1 “Allow the developer to commence construction of five (5) single family
homes on lots along Riviera once infrastructure is sufficient to build those homes.”
REVISION #2 “Allow the developer flexibility to develop retail restaurant, office or
private club if Public Library is not built within the development, leaving option for library
use (25,980 SF with 2 stories over parking garage).”
REVISION #3 “The developer is requesting the option to combine the two buildings into
one building (23,100 SF), allowing for potential underground parking.”
REVISION #4 “Optional detention/retention pond with fountain if needed for storm
drainage. If built, developer will assume cost of maintenance of the fountain.”
REVISION #5 “ROW dedication of future valet and drop-off to be provided in Phase 1A.
Cost of roadway will be escrowed within Phase 1.”
Questions for Applicant by the Committee:
Randy Robbins: With the retail pieces going vertical in April, you’ll need infrastructure
completed by the. What is the infrastructure timeframe for the five dream homes?
Applicant: Infrastructure done with the five homes by October, maybe November.
Randy Robbins: Why are you not using the five lots that are separate and isolated from
the rest of the residential area?
Applicant: Those are separate owners and are not owned by the builders.
Frances Scharli: On the information we received from the city, the lost loft square
footage previously was 70,800 and it’s going to increase to 365,700?
Applicant: I wasn’t quite sure what the numbers were, because current the minimum
square footage is 2,300 and there’s 50 of them. So, it can’t be 300,000.
Frances Scharli: So, the number of lofts is not going to increase?
Applicant: The number of lofts is not increasing by 50.
Randy Robbins: It says there is a minimum square footage of 2,300 for the lofts but
you want to make that the average square footage?
Applicant: That’s correct. We want to go average because the market is saying that
some people want 3,500 square feet and some people want 1,800 square feet. So, we
want an average of 2,300, still 50 units.
Randy Robbins: I would still set a minimum square footage.
Kathy Talley: Are you going to SPIN tomorrow?
Applicant: Yes

Kathy Talley: I need a grasp of what the changes are, with more detail and staff
provided detail. I need to sort this out in terms of number of lofts, number of buildings,
etc.
Applicant: Nothing is changing with the number of condos. I don’t believe anything is
changing with the heights of the office buildings. The five things I had were the biggest,
but I will make sure we go back and do a side-by-side comparison of each type of use
with square footage so you can see what the difference is.
Amy Torres-Lepp: The numbers we just saw do not match up with what is presented.
There’s some misinformation, I’m not sure. The ROW in the park makes sense to me.
I’ll need to see more details and have city staff perspective, as well as incentive
agreements. We have seen so many reiterations of this proposal, so I need clearer
information about the updates.
Applicant: The park and the easements were discussed with staff. We worked with
staff because this would put the city in a bind if we didn’t make some of those changes
and make the final plat difficult.
Amy Torres-Lepp: Last thing, with the five homes in zone 1, do the five builders each
own two, or picked out the ones it will be, or are they in a row or scattered throughout?
Applicant: Inside that area, we just wanted to make sure we picked out five within that
group because they have the same requirements in terms of the utilities in place
already. The reason we changed it from being a specific five to five within that group is if
we get out there and something is on the site at one of those lots and we didn’t get
another one approved, we will have to go back through the process. We are still only
doing five within that row. Each builder will build one home.
Daniel Kubiak: Echo what you heard already. I also need to wrap my head around this.
This presentation has helped put in place what is changing. The more you lay this out,
the more helpful it’ll be. Like Councilmember Robbins said, if there are adjustments in
size to the lofts, there should still be a minimum square footage.
Frances Scharli: With the square footage, it does not tell me that it was 50 lofts, and it
is still 50 lofts. The way it is presented right now, I can’t tell.
Applicant: This is for 50 units; we are not asking for more and we are not changing it.
Frances Scharli: If it’s changing somehow, get us those other numbers to help us.
Applicant: I will, absolutely. I will set it out clearly with the approved square footages by
use, the proposed square footage by use in an easy side by side comparison.
