APR 26 1994 BACKGROUND: ROOK 92 u l; 262 At its April 12, 1994 meeting the Board of County Commissioners considered a request by St. Edwards for special exception use and conceptual Zlan approval to use 121 lots that presently lie within Sandpointe West subdivision to expand its existing upper school facility. At that meeting, the applicant distributed to staff and to some of the Sandpointe West property owners a revised conceptual plan. This revised plan, although substantially similar to the reviewed plan, depicted changes in building location and imposed more design restrictions than proposed under the reviewed plan. The Board of County Commissioners opened the public hearing, considered the application requests and the newly proposed conceptual plan, and took public comments. The Board of County Commissioners then acted to table the application to a time certain (April 26, 1994) in order to give all parties a chance to reconsider their positions and review the revised conceptual plan. Staff has now reviewed the revised conceptual plan. While the revised conceptual design plan sheet itself lacks much of the required conceptual plan technical information (site data, etc.), staff considered this revised plan sheet as an amendment to the original plan set and has reviewed it for design purposes only. Staff has considered only the design elements modified by the revised plan to be the subject of review. Staff used the technical information on the initial conceptual plan to support this revised plan sheet. The Board of County Commissioners conceptual plan, and is to take exception use and conceptual plan ANALYSIS: is now to consider the amended final action on the special approval requests. In staff's opinion, the revised design is not a substantial change from the original conceptual plan submittal. If the applicant had obtained conceptual approval of the initial submittal, then a design similar to the revised conceptual plan could have been submitted for major site plan approval and construction. Staff would have deemed the.major site plan application consistent with the approved conceptual plan, since the design of the revised conceptual plan is consistent with the initial conceptual plan. Generally, the revised design impacts fewer Sandpointe West lots with the placement of buildings, has less building mass within 50' of the property line, and proposes fewer parking spaces. The design also restricts the structures to one story, breaks -up the structure into more of a campus courtyard design, and provides buildings that are closer to a residential scale. .Briefly listed below is a plan comparison elements that have changed from the initial -- recently proposed revised plan: Initial Plan Setbacks (north 50' side) Building Height: _ 2 story Number of Parking Spaces: 230 spaces Building Area: 24,700 sq. ft.
