Parkway in the general vicinity of the southwest intersection of Crescent Pointe Parkway and
Copperfield Parkway.
Applicant: Kling Engineering, engineer for the owner
Staff Recommendations: If the variance request is granted, Staff recommends approval of the
replat.
Item Summary: This plat is a replat of the previously platted Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, Phase 2,
of Crescent Pointe. This replat subdivides 3 existing lots into 10 lots. The applicant is
requesting a variance to the Subdivision Regulation requirements that Public Utility Easements
be required along the rear of all lots.
In considering a variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following
findings:
1. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such
that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land;
2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering
this chapter; and
4. That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property is designated as Planned
Development on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The plat includes property with
frontage on University Drive East and Harvey Road, both major arterials, and Copperfield
Parkway, a minor arterial.
This property is part of the 30/60 Small Area Plan which identified this area for Mixed Use
Development. In 2003, the Mixed Use Study reclassified this area as Planned Development.
The 30/60 Plan listed a variety of uses that would be appropriate in this area: office,
commercial, clean industrial, and higher density single family and multi-family housing.
This plat is in compliance with the approved Master Plan and if the variance is approved, the
City's Subdivision Regulations.
Item Background: This property was annexed in 1979 and subsequently zoned M-1, Light
Industrial. Phase 1 of Crescent Pointe was platted in 2005. The property was rezoned in 2005
to A-P, Administrative Professional.
A Master Plan was approved on this property in 2003. In 2005, the Master Plan was approved
again after the expiration of the previous plan. The current Preliminary Plat and most recent
Final Plat were approved on September 7, 2006
Budgetary & Financial Summary: None
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: N/A
