REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: Over the past few
years, this area has experienced the development of several medium density residential
developments along this stretch of William D. Fitch Parkway, including the Castlegate,
Castlerock, Edelweiss Gartens, and Southern Trace Subdivisions. Much of this
development can be attributed to the development of William D. Fitch Parkway, which
finished construction in January 2006. The east side of Barron Road from William D. Fitch
Parkway to Highway 6 is also expected to undergo major road improvements as a part of
the City's Capital Improvement Program. The project will upgrade Barron Road to minor

arterial standards. The City has been going through the roadway design and land
acquisition for the CIP project, which will be considered as a project to be a part of the 2008
bond election. If the project is included and approved in the election, construction is
expected to begin in April 2009.
2. Compatibility with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan
policies for the Neighborhood Retail land use state that such developments are generally
dependent on good access to local arterials. Additionally, Institutional land uses are
generally a "floating" land use designed to be placed in general locations, but they are
encouraged to be located off of local streets for optimal access. Because these conditions
are not currently present for the existing Neighborhood Retail and Institutional land uses on
the subject property, an amendment to Single-Family Residential, Medium Density would be
appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Given the pattern of recent medium density residential developments along William D. Fitch
Parkway, and the compatibility of the request with those developments according to the
Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends approval of the request.
