New Business/Public Hearings Case No. P21004 – 3700 Block of West Edgewood Drive, Rezoning from C-O, C-2, RA-1, and RU to PUD, Preliminary PUD Plan, and Final Subdivision Plat. Request filed by Robert and Joan Kauffman, property owners, Americare Senior Living, applicant, for the following: 1. A Rezoning of property from C-O, C-2, RA-1, and RU to PUD Planned Unit Development. 2. A Preliminary PUD Plan for an Assisted and Independent Senior Living Facility. 3. A Final Subdivision Plat consisting of one lot. The property consists of 14.32 acres located 4,200 feet west of Wildwood Drive and is described as part of the West Half of the Northwest Quarter of Section 16, and part of the East Half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 17, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri Ms. Baron stated the property consists of 14.32 acres of undeveloped land and is currently zoned in 4 different districts (C-O, C-2, RA-1, RU). The applicant desires to construct a 30 unit Assisted Living Facility, 10 Independent Living Cottages consisting of 2-3 units each, and a Clubhouse for residents on the selected site. In order to commence development, the applicant is requesting approval of a PUD rezoning, Preliminary PUD Plan, and Final Subdivision Plat. Robert Cook, 3310 Bluff Creed Drive, Columbia MO, Project Manager for Americare, presented the case. He stated that Americare has been in Jefferson City for 25, operating West Brook Terrace. He said the existing facility is older and the units are small. The new facility will have larger units with more amenities. He explained that the existing facility would continue as an Americare property and will be converted to memory care facility or a lower cost assisted living facility. No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received. Mr. Wade stated the property would have two driveways. It will also have a privately maintained storm water system, along with a privately maintained sanitary sewer main extension. Engineering staff recommend approval, subject to technical corrections being addressed on documents prior to the final plat being considered by the City Council. Mr. Barron stated staff recommends approval of the proposed PUD rezoning, Preliminary PUD Plan, and Final Subdivision Plat. The request to rezone the property to PUD Planned Unit Development from the C-O, C-2, RA-1, and RU districts will ensure the development is consistent with existing development along West Edgewood Drive. The proposed PUD district allows for a transition from commercial developments to residential by providing low density development options for both assisted and independent living. The proposed final subdivision plat meets the requirements of the subdivision code and will allow for separation of the property from the Parent Agricultural Tract. Mr. Deeken moved and Ms. Quigg seconded to approve the Final Subdivision Plat of the Americare Subdivision subject to comments and technical corrections of city staff. The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Markus, Deeken, Fretwell, Record, Butler, Hawk and Hoogveld Nay: None Mr. Deeken moved and Mr. Butler seconded to approve the request to rezone the property to PUD Planned Unit Development.

Permitted uses shall be limited to Assisted and Independent Senior Living facility. b. Signage and Lighting shall adhere to the allowances of the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District. The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Markus, Deeken, Fretwell, Record, Butler, Hawk and Hoogveld Nay: None Case No. P21005 – 500 East Capitol Avenue, Rezoning from MU-1 to PUD and Preliminary PUD Plan. Request filed by Ivy Terrace, LLC, property owner, for a rezoning of 0.22 acres from MU-1 Mixed Use to PUD Planned Unit Development and a Preliminary PUD Plan to utilize the existing building as an event center and retail shop. The property is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of East Capitol Avenue and Jackson Street and is described as part of Inlot 363, Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri. Ms. Nanoski stated the property is on the National Register of Historic places is being rehabilitated. The current zoning of the property is MU-1 Mixed Use and located within the Capitol Avenue Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. The property owner desires to rehabilitate the historic structure into an event center and retail shop for wedding related activities. The MU-1 Mixed Use District currently does not permit an event center or general retail use with a gross floor area over 2,500 sf. The applicant is requesting approval of a rezoning proposal from MU-1 to PUD and a Preliminary PUD Plan in order to accommodate the rehabilitation of Ivy Terrace into an event center and retail shop. Deborah Sacilowski, 216 Prairie Run, Columbia IL, owner, stated that she was always attracted the building and purchased it from the Jefferson City Housing Authority when it went up for sale. She noted that the property needs a lot of work, but it is a vital piece of Jefferson City history that needs to be restored, and they plan to restore to original design. She saw a need for a small event center where people can have smaller and intimate gatherings, while allowing others to view the historic home. Wendy Gladback, 609 Binder Drive, owner of Ann Marie’s Bridal, stated she will be moving her bridal store to the location. Commissioners asked about the proposed parking lot. Ms. Sacilowiski stated she would like to have it as an accessible spot. After much discussion between Commission members, staff, and the applicant, the applicant asked to remove her proposal for the accessible spot in the parking lot and make it a loading zone. Mr. Barron stated that ADA parking for parking lots is a federal requirement but that the zoning code parking requirement could be met entirely with on-street and off-site parking. He suggested that the Commission keep with the proposed motion conditions as listed in the staff report, then allow the staff to determine if anything is necessary to use the existing driveway and small parking area as a loading space. Ms. Nanoski stated staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning and Preliminary PUD Plan. The rezoning from MU-1 to PUD allows for the multiple uses requested, an event center and retail shop, to be included in the rehabilitation of Ivy Terrace. Mr. Hoogveld moved and Mr. Butler seconded to approve request to rezone the property from MU-1 to PUD. The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Markus, Deeken, Fretwell, Record, Butler, Hawk and Hoogveld Nay: None Mr. Record moved and Mr. Butler seconded to approve the Preliminary PUD Plan with the following conditions: A. Permitted uses shall be limited to an event center, general retail, and all of the permitted uses of the MU-1 Mixed Use District. B.

The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Markus, Deeken, Fretwell, Record, Butler, Hawk and Hoogveld Nay: None 7.
