Commission approves minor PUD amendment for Riverbrook Apartments to allow phase‑2 parking encroachment
Summary
The commission approved a minor amendment to PUD 290 to allow 54 new dwelling units and limited parking in a portion of green space and a transmission easement; staff noted portions of the site lie in the 100‑year floodplain and recommended approval with plating waived.
The planning commission approved PUD 1977‑2025, a minor amendment to PUD 290, to facilitate phase 2 of Riverbrook Apartments. Staff said the proposal covers about 6.1 acres and requests permission for 54 dwelling units, parking encroachment into up to 150 linear feet of a 1,330‑foot green space, and parking in a 130‑foot electrical transmission easement. Staff noted portions of the property are in the 100‑year floodplain and that the amendment adjusts a required fence location to buffer adjacent recreational fields.
Derek Hamilton of Belmont Development, who identified himself for the record as the developer and general contractor, told commissioners the changes allow parking closer to the buildings and would move the required fence to the south to separate the apartments from soccer fields. Staff recommended approval based on the comprehensive plan and surrounding land uses; commissioners voted to approve the amendment per staff recommendation. Because the change was classified as a minor PUD amendment, it will not go before city council.
