Approval of PUD-161H (Planned Unit Development, Major Amendment) Savvy Swimmers, 0.87 acres, PUD-161/CG (Commercial General), located one-eighth mile east of Olive Avenue (129th E. Avenue), north of Kenosha Street (71st Street)

Background:
Planned Unit Development (PUD)-161H involves a 0.87-acre parcel located one-eighth mile east of Olive Avenue (129th E. Avenue). According to the design statement, the project is planned as a scuba diving and swim instruction facility. The property is presently zoned PUD-161/CG (Commercial General).
When PUD-161 was approved in 2005, the property was zoned C-2 (Planned Shopping Center) which did not include Commercial Swimming Pool as a permitted use. Since that time, the Zoning Ordinance has been updated, and the C-2 zoning designation has been converted to CG (Commercial General). The current Zoning Ordinance does not include a designation for Commercial Swimming Pool but includes General Indoor Recreation, and that use is permitted in the CG zoning district. With PUD-161H, the applicant proposes to include General Indoor Recreation as a permitted use. Other amendments requested include reducing the rear setback from 50 feet to 25 feet, allowing a deviation in exterior building materials to include metal, glass and masonry, and amending the parking ratio to one space per 300 square feet.
The renderings for the Savvy Swimmers project show two driveways and a drive aisle that circles around the back of the building. The applicant states that vehicular access is needed to the rear of the building so that heavy scuba equipment can be picked up and dropped off near the storage room at the southeast corner of the building. The current Zoning Ordinance requires one parking space for every 200 square feet of floor area for general indoor recreation. The applicant is requesting that the parking ratio be amended to one space for every 300 square feet of floor area....
