HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes~~~~ . City .Planner Kee stated that because the property adjacent has been rezoned for single farruly development, staff recommends approval of this zoning conditioned upon buffering any residential development from future commercial development on this site by leav~rg a 100' wide undisturbed area along the eastern boundary of this commercial tract.. There is a drainage channel that runs along the eastern boundary with some vegetation at present. If, upon development of the commercial tract, it is necessary to alter this drainage channel in some way, then the buffer area should be a minimum of 50 feet wide along the entire eastern boundary and planted with trees. and shrubs adequate to screen noise, lights and views. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request with the above condition. Chairman Hawthorne opened .the public hearing.. Owner ofthe subject property, Dr. Marsh, informed .the Commission that he had no problem with the proposed zoning. He stated that if Lakeway Drive is shifted over to increase the amount of property on the east side, he would like multi-family zoning on the property that backs up to the existing Pebble Hills Subdivision. Chairman Hawthorne stated that there is no guarantee of multi-family zoning if in the future the roadway is shifted.. The owner would. have to submit a rezoning request to be considered by the Commission and Council at .that time. He closed the public hearing. Commissioner Gribou moved to .recommend approval of the city initiated rezoning request for approximately 31 acres located on the northeast. corner of Greens Prairie Road and State Highway 6 South from. A-O Agricultural Open to C-1 General Commercial with the staff recommendations pertaining to buffering. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. Chairman Hawthorne. expressed concern that the problem of notifying the. public of the potential land uses is not being fully addressed... If Dr. Marsh requests multi-family zoning in the future, the residents of Pebble Hills will probably say that they purchased their homes with- the understanding there would be commercial development next door, not multi-family. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan is more of a notice of future land uses than the current zoning of the property. Chairman Hawthorne stated that the city maybe stuck with the C-1 commercial zoning if it is rezoned at this time.. The motion to recommend approval of the rezoning request passed (6 - 1); Chairman Hawthorne voted in opposition to the motion.
