MEMORANDUM
TO: West Central Neighborhood Advisory Group
Donald Ewert
Mary Jo Danielson
Patricia Weitzel
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Planning Commission Secretary
DATE: February 7, 2005
SUBJECT: Review of Planning Commission Application No. 2005-003 Submitted by Bear
Creek Capital, LLC on behalf of CVS Pharmacy
A public hearing has been scheduled on Thursday, February 17, 2005, for the Planning
Commission to consider Application No. 2005-003, which is a request by Bear Creek Capital,
LLC on behalf of CVS Pharmacy for a Planned Unit Development Rezoning from R-1 (One
Family Residence) and C-1 (Service/Office) to PUD/C-2 (Planned Unit Development/
Commerce) of five lots currently containing single family homes located at the Northwest corner
of County Road 10 and Brooklyn Boulevard and development plan approval for a 13,000 sq. ft.
CVS Pharmacy. As a member of the West Central Neighborhood Advisory Group, you are
invited to attend and participate in this public hearing, if you wish.
Bear Creek, LLC has a purchase agreement to acquire the property in question. Two of the lots
face County Road 10 and are zoned R-1 and three of the lots face Brooklyn Boulevard and are
zoned C-1. A companion application (Application No. 2005-002) is also being considered by the
Planning Commission to replat these lots into a single 1.53 acre parcel for development of their
proposed pharmacy.
Normally rezoning applications considered by the Planning Commission are referred to the
respective Neighborhood Advisory Group. Your group has met on a few occasions to review
such proposals. Recently, State Statutes have been amended to require cities to respond to
zoning requests within 60 days of the date a properly submitted application has been filed with
the City. If no action is taken by the City Council within that time frame, the application is
considered to be approved. Our ordinances require publication and a legal notice sent to
surrounding properly owners for rezoning applications, which require submission of a rezoning
application at least four weeks in advance of the Planning Commission’s public hearing. Almost

half of the State required 60 day time frame has been used up before the Planning Commission’s
public hearing is even held. This requirement makes it almost impossible for the City to hold the
Neighborhood Advisory Group meetings we normally have and also meet this time requirement.
The Planning Commission, however, still wishes to receive Neighborhood Advisory Group input
with respect to these rezoning applications. We now invite Neighborhood Advisory Group
members to the public hearing and encourage their participation and comment. A staff report
for this application will be completed no later than Tuesday, February 15, 2005, and it will be
delivered to you for review. This memo is sent to you with a copy of the notice of public
hearing, which is attached, and to let you know that further information will be provided.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact me at 763-569-
3300. Thank you.
