SECTION 6 – RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS Project Name: PT Land Phase 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat, 17315 The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the proposed minor subdivision preliminary plat application and determined the application submittal contained detailed, supporting information that is sufficient to allow for the review of the proposed subdivision on May 24, 2018; and as a result, found that the application, with the recommended conditions of approval and required plat corrections, is in compliance with the adopted growth policy, the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act and the Unified Development Code. This subdivision is a second or subsequent minor subdivision from a tract of record and does not require Planning Board review. A public hearing is required before a City Commission decision. The City Commission is scheduled for a public hearing on this minor subdivision preliminary plat on July 16, 2018. The meeting will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Having reviewed the application against the criteria established for a minor subdivision, Staff recommends conditional approval as submitted. SECTION 7 – STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials, municipal codes, standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis in this report is a summary of the completed review. Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.240.130.A.5.e, BMC. In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards and City Commission shall consider the following: 1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act The preliminary plat was prepared in accordance with the surveying and monumentation requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Montana. As noted in recommended Condition of approval No. 2, the final plat must comply with State statute, Administrative Rules of Montana, and the Bozeman Municipal Code. 430 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 13 of 23 2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act The final plat must comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Unified Development Code (UDC). The subdivider is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions not specifically listed as a condition of approval, do not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State law. Sections 3 and 4 of this report identify conditions and code corrections necessary to meet all municipal standards. Therefore, upon satisfaction of all conditions and code corrections the subdivision will comply with the subdivision regulations. 3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act The Bozeman City Commission public hearing was properly noticed in accordance with the Bozeman Municipal Code. Based on the recommendation of the Development Review Committee (DRC) and other applicable review agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the matter, the City Commission will make the final decision on the subdivider’s request. The Department of Community Development received a preliminary plat application on June 27, 2017. Staff deemed the application acceptable for initial review in writing on July 6, 2017. The DRC reviewed the preliminary plat application and determined the submittal did not contained detailed, supporting information that was sufficient to allow for the continued review of the proposed subdivision on July 26, 2017. A wetland consultant representing the City’s wetland review process reviewed the wetland delineation and supporting materials and presented required corrections to the applicant on August 14, 2017. A revised application was received on February 26, 2018. The DRC determined the application was again inadequate for further review on March 26, 2018. A revised application was received on May 2, 2018. The DRC determined the application was adequate for continued review on May 24, 2018 and recommended conditions of approval and code corrections for the staff report. The City’s wetland consultant reviewed the revised wetland materials an issued comments and a recommendation for approval on June 10, 2018 Staff scheduled public notice for this application on June 21, 2018 for publication in the legal advertisements section of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on Sunday, June 24, 2018. The applicant posted public notice on the subject property on June 22, 2018. Staff sent public notice to physically adjacent landowners via certified mail, and to all other landowners of record within 200-feet of the subject property via first class mail, on June 21, 2018. No public comment had been received on this application as of the writing of this report. On June 29, 2018 staff completed and forwarded the staff report for this subsequent minor subdivision preliminary plat application with a recommendation of conditional approval by the Director of Community Development for consideration by the City Commission, which is 431 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 14 of 23 scheduled to make a final decision at its July 16, 2018 public hearing. The City Commission must make a final decision on a subsequent minor subdivision preliminary plat within 60 working days of the date the application was deemed adequate; in this case by August 20, 2018. 4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations Community Development Staff and the DRC reviewed the preliminary plat against all applicable regulations and the application complies with the Unified Development Code and all other relevant regulations with conditions and code corrections. This report includes Conditions of Approval and code provisions requiring plat corrections as recommended by the DRC for consideration by the City Commission to complete the application processing for final plat approval. All municipal water and sewer facilities will conform to the regulations outlined by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the requirements of the Design Standards and Specifications Policy and the City of Bozeman Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications. 5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and installation of any necessary utilities The final plat will provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility easements. As detailed under the Subdivisions Review Criteria No. 2 above, required by Section 38.23.060.A. and recommended as Condition of approval No. 12, all easements, existing and proposed, must be accurately depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. 6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the parcel The final plat will provide legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision. All of the proposed lots will have frontage on public streets constructed to City standards with lot frontage meeting minimum standards shown on the preliminary plat. Plat correction H requires the subdivider to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed street network to the Department of Public Works by providing a public street easement for North15th Avenue adjacent to the proposed subdivision signed by all property owners of record in order to construct North 15th Avenue from its current terminus north to Baxter Lane. Condition of approval No. 9 requires that Common Open Space 1, Block 5 to be publicly accessible. PUD performance points were granted in the PT Land PUD based upon public accessibility to this lot. A public access easement for the Common Open Space 1, Block 5 must be provided as a separate document at final plat describing the scope of the grant of easement and naming a custodian of the public’s interest in the easement. The final plat must be updated to note this lot as public access per the associated easement. 432 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 15 of 23 Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608 1) The effect on agriculture This subsequent minor subdivision will not impact agriculture. The City of Bozeman Community Plan designates the subject property as a Regional Commercial and Services and the property’s B-2, Community Business zoning allows for residential and commercial development. The property falls within the boundaries approved for development in the PT Land PUD, 2006 and is approved and planned for commercial uses. 2) The effect on Agricultural water user facilities This subsequent minor subdivision will not impact agricultural water user facilities. The two primary surface water features on this site are Mandeville Creek and Farmers Canal. All construction including buildings, sewer systems and streets will be constructed outside of the 50 foot watercourse setback. No water body alterations are proposed. 3) The effect on Local services Water/Sewer – Municipal water and sewer mains exist in the adjacent street rights of way, North 15th Avenue, Tschache Lane and Baxter Lane. The subdivider proposes to extend water and sewer mains to and through the commercial lots. In order to meet water system requirements a water main loop must be constructed in the north/south private street. See comments under street for the timing of construction requirements. The existing water system and downstream sanitary sewer mains have adequate capacity to serve the subdivision. Transfer of water rights or cash in lieu of water rights must be provided per code provision I in order to provide a long term water supply for the project. Streets – The proposed subsequent minor subdivision necessitates an additional street extensions to provide access and meet code requirements. The City is currently constructing Baxter Lane along the north property boundary of this project with a stub for a future connection with North 15th Avenue. Code provision E requires that the subdivider provide a local share contribution of the Baxter Lane construction prior to final plat approval. North 15th Avenue, a collector, is a critical north-south connection in the City’s street grid. Construction of North 15th Avenue will provide an alternate route between Baxter Lane and West Main Street. This alternate route will serve not only vehicular traffic, but will also include improved facilities and safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Currently, few options exist for continuous north-south travel between North 7th Avenue and North 19th Avenue. Tschache Lane will be constructed from its east terminus through the intersection to North 15th Avenue to the boundaries of the commercial lots in this subdivision. Tschache will be extended to North 11th Avenue with the further subdivision of the restricted development lot in this subdivision. A north/south private street with a fifty foot public access easement serves as a block delineation for this large block with an access for pedestrians and vehicles between North 15th Avenue and North 11th Avenue. Code provision F requires that the private street be constructed with the subdivision in order to meet block length requirements. 433 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 16 of 23 The DRC recommends site-specific Conditions of approval Nos. 5, 6, 7 to address transportation facility ownership and maintenance responsibility and impact mitigation. Police/Fire – The City’s Police and Fire emergency response area includes the subject property. The subdivider must obtain addresses for the new lots from the City Engineer’s Office prior to filing the final plat to facilitate emergency response to the site. The City will review addressing of future residential buildings during site plan review. The construction of Baxter Lane, North 15th Avenue and Tschache Lane will improve emergency response times. Stormwater – The subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact stormwater infrastructure. The subdivider proposes publicly dedicated extensions of storm sewer mains, which will tie into existing mains. The existing mains convey stormwater to retention ponds, which were installed with the PT Land Phases 1-2 Minor Subdivisions. A new retention pond will be installed to provide adequate capacity to accept new flows from this proposed subdivision. Temporary stormwater infrastructure is proposed on the restricted development lot until such time that Tschache Lane is extended with the further subdivision of this lot. The property owners’ association is required to maintain the stormwater infrastructure and a maintenance plan is required prior to final plat approval. The plat corrections note this requirement. Parkland – No parkland dedication is proposed with this subdivision as it is proposed for commercial uses. 4) The effect on the Natural environment The subsequent minor subdivision will impact the natural environment. Wetlands will be impacted by construction. The applicant has filed a 404 permit with the Army Corps of Engineers to impact wetlands in order to construct streets, stormwater facilities and future parking and circulation areas. The impacts are estimated at 5.0 acres. The Corps of Engineers has completed a review of the wetland delineation and has issued a jurisdictional determination for the project area. The subdivider has elected to utilize an offsite mitigation bank for the impacts. A joint permit application has been submitted to the Corps of Engineers and a permit is anticipated to be issued. Four surface waters are located on site, two stream/ditches and two surface stormwater ponds in the proposed common open spaces. The two primary surface water features on this site are Mandeville Creek and Farmers Canal. All construction including buildings, sewer systems and streets will be constructed outside of the 50 foot watercourse setback. No water body alterations are proposed. No other significant physical or topographical features (e.g., outcroppings, geological formations, steep slopes) were identified on the subject property. The Unified Development Code mandates a watercourse setback planting plan that will aid in bank stabilization, sediment nutrient and pollution removal, and flood control. The Code also requires the subdivider to contact the Gallatin County Conservation District, Montana Department of Environmental Quality, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the 434 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 17 of 23 proposed project and any required permits (i.e., 310, 404, Turbidity exemption, etc.) for the construction of the proposed infrastructure. The subdivider must obtain any required permits and provide them prior to any construction of the infrastructure. 5) The effect on Wildlife and wildlife habitat The subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact wildlife and wildlife habitat. The property falls within a planned unit development identified for commercial development in close proximity to a large urban area. Past agricultural uses limited the amount of wildlife and wildlife habitat on the property. The watercourses host the most significant wildlife on the property. All construction including buildings, sewer systems and streets will be constructed outside of the 50 foot watercourse setback. No water body alterations are proposed. The installation of additional wetland shrub and tree plantings will help mitigate any additional impacts from future development. 6) The effect on Public health and safety With the recommended Conditions of Approval and required plat corrections, the subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact public health and safety. The intent of the regulations in Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The DRC reviewed the subsequent minor subdivision preliminary plat and determined that it is in compliance with the title. This staff report notes all other conditions deemed necessary to ensure compliance. In addition, all subdivisions must be reviewed against the criteria listed in 76-3-608.3.b-d, Montana Code Annotated (MCA). As a result, the Department of Community Development reviewed this application against the listed criteria and further provides the following summary for submittal materials and requirements. This report includes findings to justify the recommended site-specific Conditions of Approval for reasonable mitigation of impacts from the proposed minor subdivision. Preliminary Plat Supplements The Development Review Committee (DRC) completed a subdivision pre-application plan review on February 22, 2018. With the pre-application plan review application, the subdivider requested waivers from Section 38.41.060 “Additional Subdivision Preliminary Plat Supplements” for several of the standard preliminary plat supplements. The DRC granted waivers to the supplemental information under 38.41.060, BMC with the pre- application plan review application for: 7) historical features; 8) agriculture; 8) agricultural water user facilities; 14) educational facilities; 15) land use; parks and recreation; neighborhood center plan; 19) miscellaneous; and 20) affordable housing. The DRC did not grant waivers for: 1) surface water; 2) floodplains; 3) groundwater; 4) geology- soils-slopes; 5) vegetation; 6) wildlife; 7) historical features; 10) water and sewer; 11) stormwater management; 13) utilities; and 18) lighting plan.. Staff offers the following summary comments on the supplemental information required with Article 38.41, BMC. 435 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 18 of 23 38.41.060.A.1 Surface Water This subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact surface water. Surface water exists on the subject property. Mandeville Creek runs through the northeast corner of the site. Farmer’s Canal runs along the western boundary of the site. The proposed subdivision will not impact the water bodies but will impact the surrounding wetlands with construction. The wetland impacts are covered under a joint permit to be issued by the Army Corps of Engineers for the impacts. 38.41.060.A.2 Floodplains No mapped 100-year floodplains impact the subject property. An analysis of the 100 year storm effects on the property was included in the application. The project engineer determined no significant impacts to this property from a 100 year flood event. 38.41.060.A.3 Groundwater Groundwater was monitored in November and groundwater monitoring wells cumulatively located groundwater between 8-feet deep to 2.5 feet deep in the wetlands. Seasonally groundwater is highest in the spring. The DRC did determine this area included high groundwater around lots proposed for development within the master plan. The DRC recommends condition of approval No. 4 to address this issue. This area lies within the Bozeman Solvent Site Controlled Groundwater area. No irrigation wells are permitted in this area. 38.41.060.A.4 Geology, Soils and Slopes This subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact the geology, soils or slopes. The subdivision application includes a geotechnical report conducted for the property in November, 2016. The property exhibits soil characteristics consistent with the surrounding Bozeman area. No significant geologic or topographic features exist on the property. Future development will necessitate the submittal of a site-specific soil analysis and geotechnical evaluation for building foundation engineering. Dewatering is required for the installation of infrastructure. 38.41.060.A.5 Vegetation This subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact vegetation. Past agricultural uses significantly changed the vegetation found on the property. The proposed subdivision area consists of heavily tilled soil and grasses. The watercourses: Farmers Canal and Mandeville Creek exhibit the most critical plant communities. The common open space areas preserve the watercourse setback areas and some of the wetlands from development. The subdivider provided a Noxious Weed Management Plan to identify mitigation measures for noxious weeds which requires control measures over the development period. 38.41.060.A.6 Wildlife This subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact wildlife. The property falls within a master planned area identified for commercial development. Proximity to an urban area and past agricultural uses limit the amount of wildlife on the property. Occasionally birds, deer 436 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 19 of 23 and small mammals visit the property, as is common in the Bozeman area. However, the area is generally less desirable to wildlife. The protected watercourse areas host the most significant wildlife on the property. The 50-foot watercourse setback along the Farmers Canal and Mandeville Creek watercourse and wetlands will protect any riparian environment already established on the property. Staff contacted the Montana Department of Fish Wildlife and Parks during subdivision review but did not receive any comment. 38.41.060.A.7 Historical Features The DRC did not identify any significant impacts to historical features and waived supplemental information. The property has been disturbed significantly by previous agricultural use and the installation of stormwater infrastructure for Phase 1-2 of the PT Land PUD. No significant cultural, historic or archaeological features exist on the subject property. 38.41.060.A.8 Agriculture The DRC did not identify any significant impacts to agriculture and waived supplemental information. The Bozeman Community Plan, municipal zoning and PT Land PUD designate the subject property for development. Agricultural uses historically existed on the property but ceased in areas of planned development. 38.41.060.A.9 Agricultural Water User Facilities This subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact agricultural water user facilities. As noted above in the 76-3-308, MCA Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, agricultural water user facilities exist in conjunction with the subject property. This subsequent minor subdivision will not impact agricultural water user facilities. The two primary surface water features on this site are Mandeville Creek and Farmers Canal. All construction including buildings, sewer systems and streets will be constructed outside of the 50 foot watercourse setback. No water body alterations are proposed. 38.41.060.A.10 Water and Sewer Municipal water and sewer mains exist in the adjacent street rights of way, North 15th Avenue, Tschache Lane and Baxter Lane. The subdivider proposes to extend water and sewer mains to and through the commercial lots. In order to meet water system requirements a water main loop must be constructed in the north/south private street. See comments under street for the timing of construction requirements. The existing water system and downstream sanitary sewer mains have adequate capacity to serve the subdivision. Transfer of water rights or cash in lieu of water rights must be provided per code provision I in order to provide a long term water supply for the project. No infrastructure is planned to be provided for Lot 4 of Block 3, as such this lot must be platted as a restricted development lot subject to further subdivision review. Condition of approval No. 3 applies to this issue. 437 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 20 of 23 38.41.060.A.11 Stormwater Management The subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact stormwater infrastructure. The subdivider proposes publicly dedicated extensions of storm sewer mains, which will tie into existing mains. The existing mains convey stormwater to retention ponds, which were installed with the PT Land Phases 1-2 Minor Subdivisions. The a new retention ponds will be established to include adequate capacity to accept new flows from this proposed subdivision. Temporary stormwater facilities proposed on the restricted development lot until such time that Tschache is extended with the further subdivision of this lot. The property owners’ association is required to maintain the stormwater infrastructure and a maintenance plan is required prior to final plat approval. The plat corrections note this requirement. 38.41.060.A.12 Streets, Roads and Alleys This subdivision requires the expansion of the municipal street and sidewalk network to accommodate the planned future commercial development. The approved PT Land PUD provides the planned transportation system for the district. The final plat will provide dedicated right of way for perimeter streets and other street easements in conformance with the planned unit development. This preliminary plat application includes a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared by KLJ in December, 2016. Two off-site improvements were identified as necessary prior to development. The City is constructing both improvements that include right hand turn lanes at the eastbound leg of the intersection of Baxter and North 19th Avenue and the west bound leg at North 7th Avenue and West Oak Street. The proposed subsequent minor subdivision necessitates street extensions to provide access and meet code requirements for the subdivision. The City is currently constructing Baxter Lane along the north property boundary of this project with a stub for a future connection with North 15th Avenue. Code provision E requires that the subdivider provide a local share contribution of the Baxter Lane construction prior to final plat approval. North 15th Avenue, a collector, is a critical north-south connection in the City’s street grid. Construction of North 15th Avenue will provide an alternate route between Baxter Lane and West Main Street. This alternate route will serve not only vehicular traffic, but will also include improved facilities and safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Currently, few options exist for continuous north-south travel between North 7th Avenue and North 19th Avenue. Tschache Lane will be constructed from its east terminus through the intersection to North 15th Avenue to the boundaries of the commercial lots that include a private street in this subdivision. Tschache will be extended to North 11th Avenue with the further subdivision of the restricted development lot in this subdivision. A north/south private street with a fifty foot public access easement serves as a block delineation for this large block with an access for pedestrians and vehicles between North 15th Avenue and North 11th Avenue. Code provision F requires that the private street be constructed with the subdivision in order to meet block length requirements. 438 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 21 of 23 The DRC recommends site-specific Conditions of Approval Nos. 5, 6, 7 to address transportation facility ownership and maintenance responsibility and impact mitigation. As required in Section 38.273.030.B.2, lot frontage and perimeter sidewalks must be constructed along all street frontages prior to final plat approval or must be financially guaranteed for a period not to exceed three years. No infrastructure is planned to be provided for Lot 4 of Block 3, as such this lot must be platted as a restricted development lot subject to further subdivision review. Condition of approval No. 3 applies to this issue. 38.41.060.A.13 Utilities This subsequent minor subdivision will not significantly impact utilities. The plat indicates a 10- foot wide utility easement along all street frontages. As recommended in site-specific Condition of approval No.12, all easements, existing and proposed, must be accurately depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. With the recommended condition and code requirements, the plat will provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility easements. 38.41.060.A.14 Educational Facilities The DRC did not identify any significant impacts to educational facilities and waived supplemental information. Future development will not provide residential units. 38.41.060.A.15 Land Use The DRC did not identify any significant impacts to land use and waived supplemental information. The proposed subdivision complies with the existing zoning designation of B-2, Community Business and the approved PT Land PUD. A hotel and hospitality uses are planned for the property. 38.41.060.A.16 Parks and Recreation Facilities The DRC did not identify any significant impacts to parks and recreation and waived supplemental information. This is a commercial subdivision. 38.41.060.A.17 Neighborhood Center Plan The DRC did not identify any significant impacts to parks and recreation and waived supplemental information. This is a commercial subdivision. A neighborhood center plan is not required. 38.41.060.A.18 Lighting Plan The application includes a street lighting layout plan with fixture cut sheets and a photometric analysis plan in conformance to code requirements. The subdivider proposes LED street lighting per city requirements. A special improvement lighting district is anticipated to be created to fund the construction and operation of the subdivision lighting. Condition of approval No. 11 requires the creation of the lighting district prior to final plat application. 439 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 22 of 23 38.41.060.A.19 Miscellaneous The DRC waived miscellaneous supplemental information. The subdivision will not impact access to any public lands and there are no identified hazards in proximity to the subject property. 38.41.060.A.20 Affordable Housing The DRC waived supplemental information regarding affordable housing. The Affordable Housing provisions in Article 38.43, BMC do not apply to commercial subdivisions. APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The subject property is zoned B-2, Community Business. The intent of B-2 is to provide for a broad range of mutually supportive retail and service functions located in clustered areas bordered on one or more sides by limited access arterial streets. Adopted Growth Policy Designation: The subject property is designated as Regional Commercial and Services in the Bozeman Community Plan. Bozeman is a retail, education, health services, public administration, and tourism hub and provides opportunities for these activities for a multi-county region. Often the scale of these services is larger than would be required for Bozeman alone. Because of the draw from outside Bozeman, it is necessary that these types of facilities be located in proximity to significant transportation routes. Since these are large and prominent facilities within the community and region, it is appropriate that design guidelines be established to ensure compatibility with the remainder of the community. Opportunity for a mix of uses which encourages a robust and broad activity level is to be provided. Residential space should not be a primary use and should only be included as an accessory use above the first floor. Any development within this category should have a well-integrated transportation and open space network which encourages pedestrian activity, and provides ready access within and to adjacent development. APPENDIX B – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION Project Background and Description The PT Land Planned Unit Development (PUD) was formally approved by the City Commission in 2006. Phases 1 and 2 were platted and site development has occurred on five lots within phase 1. No development has occurred in phase 2. This phase 3 subdivision is on a restricted development lot remaining from PT Land Phase 1 and 2. Subdivision review is required to be completed on this lot prior to development. The city has reviewed informal review applications for the future site development to occur on this site. A hotel and other hospitality uses are proposed for the site. This is in conformance to the PT Land PUD which is approved for a larger hospitality use on this site. The common open spaces represent the required open space for the PUD which, when complete, will be 30% of the overall development area. The subdivider, 440 17315 Staff Report for the PT Land Ph. 3 Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Page 23 of 23 Bennet Hospitality is a hotel developer and plans a large hotel and other hospitality uses on the two commercial lots proposed to be platted wit this application. Bennett Hospitality also owns all the lots in phase 2 of the PT Land subdivision and plans further commercial development on those lots and lots to be created with the further subdivision of the restricted development Lot 4, Block 3 of this subdivision.
