 Commissioner Losurdo recused himself from the dais.

 Sara Kopinski, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.

 Vince Rosanova (attorney with Rosanova & Whitaker), Scott Miller (Vice
 President of Development for RPAI), Chris Payne (architect with Sullivan,
 Goulette, and Wilson Architects), Jim Caneff (Civil and Environmental
 Consultants), and Rory Fancler (Kimley Horn) spoke on behalf of the
 petitioner.

 The PZC inquired about the FAR deviation. Rosanova responded that the
 proposed FAR allows for the most efficient use of the property; the average
 FAR of all 3 phases of the Main Street Promenade is less than the
 maximum 2.5. The PZC also inquired about parking. Rosanova responded
 that RPAI will control the parking based upon the supply. Retail spaces
 were not included in the parking study or building layout because they are
 included in the SSA. The PZC inquired about the B4 district and setbacks.
 Kopinski noted that B4 allows for most intense development in downtown;
 a maximum setback of 6' from the property line is permitted.

 Public Testimony:
 Norm Mandel is a long-term resident of Naperville and an owner at Benton
 Terrace. Mr. Mandel stated that he purchased his property with the
 understanding that there would be a significant setback between Benton
 Terrace and the subject property.

 Dwight Yackley is the developer of the Main Street Promenade and a
 resident of Benton Terrace. The intent was a large setback between
 Benton Terrace and the subject property. Mr. Yackley also expressed
 concern with the building bulk and height.

 Paul Junkroski is a resident of Benton Terrace. Mr. Junkroski requested
 PZC deny the project and found that the previous PUD was more
 compatible with the neighborhood.

 Greg Lernahan is a resident of Benton Terrace and purchased his condo
 based upon the previous PUD.

 Gaye Justice lives in Benton Terrace and expressed concern with 2 way
 traffic in the alley.

 Mike Justice is a resident of Benton Terrace and stated that the proposed
 development will affect his property value.

 Bob Para is a resident of Benton Terrace and voiced concern with the
 proposed parking deviation.

 Marilyn Schweitzer stated that the project is too dense for the zoning
 district. Ms. Schweitzer noted that the height, density, and lack of parking
 will place undue burden on the municipal parking structures.

 Kathy Benson was active in the original PUD approval and the
 development of the Downtown 2030 Plan. Ms. Benson raised concern with
 the effect of the proposed building on Benton Terrace.

 Don Ziniger requested that the PZC deny the project. Mr Ziniger stated that
 the proposal was best for the developer and not the overall block.

 Jim Hill is a member of the Senior Task Force. Mr. Hill noted that the plan
 does nothing to increase affordable housing in the City.

 Mary Lou Wehrli stated that the original PUD should not be revoked
 because so much input went into the approval.

 The PZC inquired about the previous PUD. Kopinski responded that the
 Municipal Code has an effective period for PUDs. Given the inactivity and
 the changes in development trends since the original approval, a new PUD
 is required. City Council has the right to revoke the original PUD; PZC is
 focusing on establishing the new PUD.

 The PZC inquired about parking. Fancler responded that the parking
 supply would be managed through the lease and there would be some
 flexibility. 1 bedroom units would only be offered 1 parking space, 2
 bedrooms would be offered 2 parking spaces. If the spaces are not
 needed by the tenant, they could be utilized by other tenants as managed
 by RPAI. Rosanova added that the proposed project has the same parking
 supply as the Ellsworth condos and the parking there is functioning
 properly.

 The PZC inquired about the intent of the original PUD. Payne responded
 that record of the PUD did not appear on a title search. Payne stated that
 RPAI has worked diligently with staff to provide the best product given the
 constraints of the zoning ordinance.

 The PZC inquired about owner occupied units versus renter occupied units.
 Rosanova responded that the units are proposed as renter owned;
 conversion to a condo would require a condo plat and compliance with
 Code.

 The PZC inquired about stacking cars in the parking garage. Payne stated
 there are systems available and this is a potential solution if parking
 becomes a problem in the future.

 The PZC inquired about the height of other structures in the Main Street
 Promenade. Rosanova responded that the tallest building is 53'. The
 proposed building height is consistent with the zoning ordinance, downtown
 plan, and surrounding area.

 The petitioner responded to the public testimony.

 PZC closed the public hearing.

 Commissioner Bansal voted in favor of the project, finding that the parking
 had been reviewed by staff and that the setback from Benton Terrace was
 acceptable.

 Chairman Hanson was not in favor of the project, finding the proposal was
 not harmonious with the rest of the neighborhood.
 A motion was made by Commissioner Fessler, seconded by Commissioner
 Bansal to adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve
 PZC 19-1-040, a conditional use to establish the Main Street Promenade Phase III
 PUD, with deviations to the permissible floor area ratio, required setbacks along
 the west property line, and required parking for the subject property located at
 the southwest corner of Main Street and Benton Avenue, Naperville.
