ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 62.46 acres (Tract 1) from "AG" - Agricultural District to "PD" - Planned Development District, generally to establish development regulations that allow for the development of single family detached residential units, and is also requesting to rezone approximately 29.35 acres (Tract 2) from "AG" - Agricultural District to "C2" - Local Commercial District. The development regulations proposed for Tract 1 include special ordinance provisions related to screening and buffering, architectural standards, masonry percentages, landscaping, open space, and entry features for the residential use.
On March 6, 2012, the City Council denied a similar rezoning request for a portion of the subject property. With that rezoning request (11-191Z), the applicant requested to rezone the subject property (65 acres) for single family residential uses.
On November 6, 2012, the City Council denied a similar rezoning request by the previous applicant (12-093Z5) to rezone the property for single family residential uses (approximately 84 acres) and commercial uses (approximately 29 acres).
On May 27, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission tabled the item indefinitely per the applicant's request.
