BACKGROUND:
The subject property is a 17-acre assemblage of Lot 3 from the Rock Run Crossings Drive Subdivision. The applicant, Cullinan Joliet, LLC, wishes to subdivide Lot 3 into two new lots for the planned “Lifestyle Center” component of the Rock Run Collection Planned Unit Development (PUD). The preliminary plat shows space allocated for future restaurant uses within Lot 2. Lot 1 would likely feature smaller-scale commercial retail fronting a central pedestrian corridor, with parking accessible off Rock Run Crossings Drive and Gateway Boulevard.
Both lots would have frontage along Rock Run Crossings Drive and Gateway Boulevard. Access to the site’s interior would be provided at several points on Lot 1, with an additional point of access proposed off Olympic Boulevard. Cross access between Lots 1 and 2 is required. A 10-foot-wide landscaping buffer will be installed on all sides of the subdivision, in addition to required parkway landscaping along Rock Run Crossings Drive, Gateway Boulevard, and Olympic Boulevard. All three frontage roads contain applicable utilities to service the proposed development.
The PUD allows for multiple buildings to be located on one lot, as shown in the preliminary plat. The proposed mixture of uses is generally consistent with the approved PUD Site Plan, apart from a larger block entertainment center use, which is not shown on the preliminary plat. Larger entertainment uses are permitted by right in several other functional use zones throughout the PUD area.
Approval of the Rock Run Crossings Lifestyle Center Subdivision will allow for future development of a two-lot mixed-use subdivision. The proposed uses and building layout as depicted conceptually on the preliminary plat, generally aligns with the mixture and placement of uses that are depicted in the PUD Site Plan. The preliminary plat shows sufficient means of access to the Lifestyle center site. All three predominant frontages contain water and sewer infrastructure.
