Summary
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2011
DEPARTMENT: Development Services - Planning
CONTACT: Michael Quint, Senior Planner
Abra R. Nusser, Planner
APPROVAL PROCESS: The Planning and Zoning Commission is the final approval authority for the proposed site plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed site plan with the following conditions:
1. The applicant satisfy the conditions as shown on the Standard Conditions for Site Plan Approval Checklist, attached.
2. The applicant receive approval of an alternate screening device consisting of the existing tree line along the creek on the south side of the subject property.
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a neighborhood pool with restroom buildings (Pecan Park Amenity Center) on 1.80 acres at the southwest corner of Mesquite Drive and Pecan Knoll Drive. There is an existing pond with a fountain on the north side of the subject property. The applicant received approval of an amenity center project in 2007 for the Pecan Park residential subdivision (07-139SP), generally on the same area as the subject property, but the applicant has decided to change the layout of the site which requires a new site plan to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The amenity center site plan is being considered concurrently with an associated rezoning request for Pecan Park (11-080Z) which should not have a direct impact on the project.
