Ben Landhauser, representing Lifestyle Communities has applied for a PUD Amendment to allow for the reduction of the building height by one level of the Artessa, a 56-unit senior housing co-op. The Artessa development was approved as part of the Canterbury Crossing PUD in November of 2020. The proposed number of units is a decrease of 12 units to 44 units. This is the second proposed amendment of the Canterbury Crossing PUD. The City Council approved an amendment request by Pulte Homes in May of 2022 to shift the location of several units and the adjust the alignment of a private street due to a driveway easement issue.
The applicant intends to use the same exterior building materials and design, just decrease the number of floors from four levels to three by removing the uppermost level (see narrative for approved building elevation and proposed elevation). The applicant intends to reduce the number of garage parking spaces from 75 spaces to 60 spaces and the number of surface parking spaces to 22. The proposed number of parking spaces per dwelling unit matches the original proposal at 1.86 spaces per unit, which meets the City Code minimum of 1 space per unit for senior housing.
The proposed amendment is considered a minor amendment, so the Planning Commission makes the final decision on this request. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request.
