RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
· Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request with the following special ordinance provision:
1. The use and development of the subject property shall conform to the attached development regulations.
ITEM SUMMARY:
· The applicant is requesting to rezone 4 tracts of land totaling approximately 69.37 acres of land, generally to modify the development standards and allowed land uses. The existing zoning on the subject property currently allows for a mix of office, commercial, and multi-family residential uses and the applicant has requested to rezone the properties for commercial use with the potential for townhome uses on specific tracts, while prohibiting uses such as multi-family residential and some of the more intensive commercial uses.
· This item was tabled at January 14, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting due to public hearing notification signs not being posted on the subject property by the applicant in the timeframe required by the Zoning Ordinance.
· At the January 28, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, several residents voiced concern about the item, questioning why multiple tracts were being zoned together and asking for more information on future development. The Planning and Zoning Commission asked the applicant if they would be willing to meet with the residents prior to the February 18, 2014 City Council meeting. The applicant responded that they would meet with the residents to discuss the item (please see attached minutes).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
· Please see attached Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Staff report.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
· N/A
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
· On January 28, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to recommend approval of the proposed rezoning request per Staff's recommendation.
