Summary
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2015
DEPARTMENT: Planning
CONTACT: Brandon Opiela, Planning Manager
Samantha Pickett, Planner II
APPROVAL PROCESS: The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission will be forwarded to the City Council for final action at the March 17, 2015 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: In an effort to ensure consistency, Staff is of the opinion that the development regulations throughout the existing subdivision should remain the same. Additionally, the applicant has not indicated to Staff that a comparable product cannot be built on the lots with the existing setbacks. Furthermore, Staff has concerns that approval of this request may create a precedent of rezoning individual lots in other developments, the effects of which could be negative.
However, the applicant is requesting approval of the following special ordinance provisions:
1. The subject property shall develop in accordance with "PD" - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 2004-08-087, except as follows:
a. Tract 1 (900 Hermitage Lane) shall have a side yard at corner setback of 7 ½ feet.
b. Tract 2 (800 Harmony Lane) shall have a side yard at corner setback of 7 feet.
APPLICATION SUBMITTAL DATE: September 29, 2014 (Original Application)
January 12, 2015 (Revised Submittal)
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone two lots, Tract 1 (approximately 0.12 acres) and Tract 2 (approximately 0.14 acres), generally for single family detached residential uses. More specifically, the proposed rezoning request modifies the side yard at corner setbacks for both of the lots in the Chapel Hill Subdivision.
On February 10, 2015, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to continue the public hearing and table the item to the February 24, 2015 meeting due to public hearing notification signs not being posted on the subject property within the required timeframe.
