SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Application Planning &Zoning Commission Page 7 of 7 September 4, 2008 This item is a public hearing for a Comprehensive Plan amendment for an infill development on 3.3 acres at the end of Chimney Hill Drive. The property is a vacant tract located south of the city limits and behind the albertson's shopping center on university drive. The tract has a large utility easement across it as well making single-family detached residential development difficult on the property. The developer requested a change from SF Med to SF High earlier this spring and that request was recommended for denial by this board after a lengttwublic hearing. Concerns from the neighborhood were raised about tiraffic and the density of the proposed townhome project. The applicant withdrew his request before going to City Council and has revised the plan and is now requesting a change to planned development for single-family attached and detached residential with a gross density between 3 and 6 dwelling units per acre gross. This is equivalent to single-family residential medium density, but would allow attached product. The tract is surrounded by the Chimney Hill subdivision which has a mix of townhome, patio homes, office, commercial, and single-family residential, as well as backing up to a small park and redeveloped duplexes on Cooner Street. The property also has a pedestrian access easement that was required at its most recent replat for the provision of pedestrian access to the park. This access will be required to be retained through either a sidewalk or public street to the park. Updated traffic counts It is our understanding from the applicant as well as a representative of the neighborhood that there has been discussion about the proposal and we have not received any objections to the current request. A Planned Development will require a PDD rezoning that will be accompanied by a concept plan. .ir .

Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: This item was originally heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission in April, 2008 for a change to Residential Attached. At the public hearing, a number of residents from the Chimney Hill neighborhood expressed concerns about the density and compatibility of townhome and multi-family use adjacent to the Chimney Hill neighborhood. The applicant withdrew the request prior to a decision by Council in order to meet with representatives from the neighborhood about the proposal. They are now requesting a change to Planned Development for an attached residential product built at a density comparable to single- family medium density (6-8 dwelling units per acre) The current designation of Single Family Residential, Medium Density has been in place on this property since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in 1997. This area along the Bryan border is primarily built out with a mix of housing units including single family detached homes, townhomes, and duplexes, along with office and retail uses. The Chimney Hill subdivision and Chimney Hill Business Park were platted and developed in the early Planning&Zoning Commission Page 5 of 7 September 4, 2008
