Councilmember Sanger asked if we needed an ordinance amendment to ensure adequate open space around taller buildings to retain the scale. Ms. Jeremiah stated that open space requirements were already in place and that those could be controlled through the PUD process as well. Councilmember Nelson asked if consideration could be given to a taller building on the current Norwest bank site for assisted living, which he felt would have minimal impact on land use in terms of parking, etc. Ms. Jeremiah said that any use at that location would be limited to 75 units per acre. If Council wished to consider higher density, a new comp plan designation would be required. Councilmember Brimeyer asked about current density levels at Park Shores assisted living in order to compare relative scale. Ms. Jeremiah stated that Park Shores is currently at 62 units which is above the limit for RC zoning. Their current levels were approved prior to the 50 unit maximum being put into place.
