at Sun City Final Plat, generally located at 60 Del Webb Blvd (2019-3-PUD) -- Michael Patroski, Planner
Staff report presented by Patroski. The Seven Strand Planned Unit Development (PUD) was initially
adopted on February 10, 2015. The Seven Strand PUD's vision is to create luxury resort style retirement
center consisting of multiple retirement buildings housing a maximum of 300 independent living units
with integrated amenities to serve exclusively the residents of the development. To facilitate this
development, the PUD included exceptions to standard for building height and signage, but
established standards above UDC minimums for land uses, setbacks, parking access, and buffering.
The Applicant has requested to amend the existing Seven Strand (PUD) to permit the senior living
facilities restaurant and salon to be open to the public. The amendment also requests a reduction in the
amount of required parking spaces for the senior living facility. Staff has reviewed the request in
accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable other. Staff determined
that the proposed request meets 5 of the 5 criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for a Zoning
Map Amendment and 6 of the 6 criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.040 for a Planned Unit
Development (PUD), as outlined in the attached Staff Report.
Staff finds that the requested amendment continues to promote a mix of residential and non-residential
uses consistent with the Mixed -Use Density Neighborhood Future Land Use designation. The
proposed amendment will assist with limiting the amount of impervious cover on site by having a
reduction in parking and will help promote connectivity by extending meeting opportunities between
the senior facility residents and the general public
Chair Brashear opened the Public Hearing.
Betty Steige sought clarification on what address the entrance will have for this property, and off of

Waggoner provided an update to the Commission regarding the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The 2030
Comprehensive Plan includes updated land use goals and policies as well as new tools to aide in the
application of regulations (Regulatory Framework) of the UDC and evaluation of qualitative aspects of
land development including purpose and intent of land use (Decision Making). Staff will review with
the Commission the three major policy groups of the Goal - (1) Balance of land use (2) the transition of
uses and (3) the integration of amenities. For each policy group, staff will review with the Commission
the tools available to evaluate each policy.
Policy #1 (Balance of land uses) - Future land use categories
Policy #2 (Transition of uses) - UDC standards and illustration of general land use arrangements
Policy #3 (Integration of amenities) - The Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
Staff is seeking feedback on the tools of each policy group, primarily, " Can you see now, given the
tools provided in the 2030 Plan, how these tools are integrated into staff reports and how they are
intended for your decision making." And seeking feedback generally for each tool:
What parts of this tool enable you to make decisions?
Is this tool helpful to understand the narrative of this (application) request?
What parts of this tool need improvement?
What changes should we make to the tool?
If we make these changes, would this help you in your decision making?
