PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION, JUNE 5, 2012: Development Special Use Permit #2012-0004 On a motion made by Commissioner Dunn, seconded by Commissioner Robinson, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the Development Special Use Permit with Site Plan and Subdivision pursuant to CDD #15 for the redevelopment of an existing warehouse facility and large parking lot into a mixed use residential/retail development with 2/3 acre park. The motion carried on a vote of 5-0. Commissioners Wagner and Jennings were absent. Reason: The Planning Commission generally expressed support of the proposal and agreed with staff analysis and recommendations. The Planning Commission revised Conditions #1, #102 and #104 as revised within the report. Street Name Case #2012-0001 Item deferred. Speakers: Mary Catherin Gibbs, attorney representing applicant. Ms. Gibbs requested modifications to Conditions #102 and #104 relating to the timing of the Implementation Plan. Ms. Gibbs asked that the entire CDD be considered a catalyst project of the Braddock Metro Neighborhood Plan and be given a total of 36 months instead of the current 24 months to construct each phase. Ms. Gibbs explained that given the length of construction and the recent economic downturn, a 24 month period is outside the realm of feasible timing for any phase to be completed. She also testified that the amount of additional contributions/improvements is about a total of $7 million. Poul Hertel, 1217 Michigan Court, spoke in support of the proposal but requested additional language be added to the staff recommendation as noted above.
