There we go.

Let's begin by standing and saying pledge allegiance to the play.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

One nation under God with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you, everyone.

Mr.

Schultz.

Any changes or corrections to the agenda that's before us?

Mr.

Schwanke Chair, there's no changes to the agenda.

I do want to make sure that people note that the first item involving the interim use permit for Iron Gate has been postponed until the April 28th planning commission meeting.

There were some changes that the applicant was requesting that were not part of the original consideration.

So the decision was made to uh have them request postponement till uh till that date certain.

Okay, very good.

Thank you, Mr.

Schultz.

Is there a motion to approve the agenda?

As a move.

Is there a second?

Second.

And all in favor.

All right.

Any opposed that passes unanimously.

We're on to the minutes of uh February 24, 2026, advisory planning commission meeting.

Any changes or corrections to that, Mr.

Schultz?

Members, any changes or corrections?

All right, wonderful.

Is there a motion to approve?

So move.

Second.

Second.

Thank you.

All in favor, say aye.

All right.

Aye.

And that is unanimous as well.

We are at the point in the agenda now where we do take public comment from the public on any item, any item that's not on the agenda tonight.

So if there's anyone here who does desire to make public comment on any item on the agenda, please come forward to the podium and we'd love to hear what has to be said.

Seeing no one moving towards the podium, we'll close that part of the uh agenda and move on now then to the public hearing part of business tonight.

So as Mr.

Schultz just mentioned, we do have an item on the agenda that is postponed until April 28th.

We'll move automatically then down to our second item on the agenda, which is an application by Lewis House, 360 communities requesting approval of a rezoning to PD plan development, and a preliminary plan development to allow residential shelter consisting of 14 units serving up to 50 residents for property located at 4345 Nichols Road, and that is lot one black one Cedar Ridge First Edition.

And Ms.

Douzier is making the presentation.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

I miss the commission.

The applicant is requesting a rezoning from limited business to plan development for this property to allow a residential shelter with 14 units for up to 50 residents with on-site supportive services.

As a single lot development, approval of the preliminary plan development would constitute the final plan development for the property upon execution of the agreement.

The property was platted in 1977, and a shelter for people experiencing domestic abuse was constructed in 1985 pursuant to a conditional use permit.

The 2.18 acre property is platted with access from Nichols Road.

The building and parking lot are located on the front half of the site.

Surrounding uses are church to the north, commercial uses to the south, and single family residential across Nichols Road to the east.

The applicant is proposing to rezone to plan development to allow construction of a new residential shelter with greater capacity, increased security, and improved resident amenities with expanded on-site support services.

The proposed plan development serves in lieu of the conditional use permit and accommodates deviations which would otherwise require variance under straight zoning.

The proposal does deviate from neighborhood business standards in regard to building height, parking style size, and building materials.

The project will be undertaken in two phases with construction of the new building on the western half of the site in phase one.

The existing building will be raised and the front parking lot and stormwater management system will be constructed on the east half of the site in phase two.

The site is located in an extended area of aircraft noise impact along the Cedar Avenue corridor.
