BACKGROUND:
The petitioner seeks approval of the Preliminary, Final, and Recording Plats of Resubdivision for Lot 4 of the Casino Parcel at Rock Run Crossings Subdivision. The subject property lies within the Rock Run Crossings Redevelopment Project Area, which has been designated as a Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF District”) since 2021. When it was created, it was the intention of the TIF District to include a future mixed-use development that would contain commercial retail, restaurant, entertainments attractions, recreational amenities, and a multi-family residential neighborhood over the entire 309-acre District area.
In October of 2023, the City Council approved a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for most of the Rock Run Collection development area, including the subject subdivision. While the PUD allows multiple buildings to be located on one lot under unified ownership, the proposed subdivision would create four separate lots for the future end users. The subject property is a 9.9-acre portion of the Casino Parcel at Rock Run Crossings Subdivision, which was created in 2022. Lot 4 was created as a space for future outlot development that would occur to the west of the casino site. The conceptual site plan within the Rock Run Collection Subdivision PUD shows that the newly created lots will likely feature a blend of food and beverage and hotel uses.
All four new lots would front Gateway Boulevard. An extension of Sandstone Drive would bisect Lots 2 and 3 and provide direct access to these lots. A cross-access easement would be provided to allow for access to Lots 1 and 4 through Lots 2 and 3 respectively. This cross access would stem off Sandstone Drive. A 20 ft.-wide landscape easement will be placed along the west side of each lot fronting Gateway Boulevard in addition to the southern portion of Lot 1 fronting Olympic Boulevard and the northern portion of Lot 4 fronting Rock Run Crossings Drive.
Future development within the subdivision will be required to connect to city water and sanitary sewer mains, which will both be extended within the Gateway Boulevard right-of-way. In addition, public improvements, paving, and curbing will be required per City Ordinances. Adherence to the Development Guidelines from the Rock Run Collection PUD will be required for landscaping, parking allocation, provision of on-site signage, on-site lighting, and future building design. Approval will create four new lots for future mixed-use development.
