of 1 lot on 7.59 acres located at 100 Forest Drive, generally located on the north side of
University Drive west of the Gateway Villas.

Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the final plat.
Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a final plat for Phase 4 of the Gateway
Subdivision. The plat consists of one lot on a 7.59-acre tract of land. The applicant is requesting
the final plat in order to build a condominium development, similar to the Gateway Villas
development. The subject property is adjacent to 100-year floodplain as depicted on the final
plat.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan projects Floodplain & Streams;
however, the property is zoned R-4 Multi-Family Residential. University Drive is identified as a
major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. This final plat is in compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan, Subdivision Regulations, and the preliminary plat that was approved in 2003.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1971 and subsequently zoned R-1
Single Family Residential. The property was rezoned in 1995 to R-5 Apartment/Medium Density.
When the Unified Development Ordinance was adopted in 2003, zoning districts R-4
Apartment/Low Density and R-5 Apartment/Medium Density were combined into R-4 Multi-
Family, which is the current zoning of the property.
A preliminary plat was approved for Phases 2-4 of the Gateway subdivision in 2003. Phases 2
and 3 have since received final plat approval. The subject property is currently unplatted.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: None requested.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: Parks Board: When the preliminary plat was
approved in 2003, the Parks Staff recommended a fee in lieu of land at$452 per dwelling unit
totaling $43,368.00 that will be collected at time of building permit.

options regarding the final plat are:
