MEETING DATE: October 14, 2014
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 November 4, 2014 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the proposed rezoning request due to lack of conformance with the City Council's goal of preserving and developing the non-residential tax base.
However, should the rezoning request be approved, the applicant is requesting approval of the following special ordinance provisions:
1. The use and development of the subject property shall develop in accordance with the attached development regulations.
2. The development of the subject property shall generally conform to the attached concept plan exhibit.
3. The attached site layout may not be constructed until all Engineering regulations have been satisfied, subject to review and approval by Director of Engineering.
Staff's professional opinion is that the subject property's location and topography are fairly conducive for residential uses and the proposed townhome use can serve as an appropriate transition between the future commercial to the north and the single family residential subdivision to the south.
