AGENDA ITEM NO.1: Approval of minutes from the meeting of February 2, 1997. Commissioner Gribou moved to approve the minutes from the meeting of February 2, 1997 as written. Commissioner Massey seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO.2: Public hearing to consider a rezoning request and master preliminary plat of the W oodcreek Section 8 Subdivision totaling 3.8 acres divided into 13 residential lots generally located east of Stonebrook Drive and south of W,p6dcreek Phase Three from R-l Single Family Residential to PUD-2 Planned Unit Development. (97-10ty'& 97-300) City Planner Kee presented the staff report and stated that the original master plan for this areas shows single family development. The PUD is a single family zone and therefore, this change is considered very minor. The previous master plan shows 9 lots while the proposed PUD now shows B. Both scenarios show lots off of one cul-de-sac. The rezoning to PUD-2 is the same as the PUD-2 for Woodcreek Phase 7 that is in place across Stonebrook Drive. This section will essentially mirror that section. The preliminary plat submitted with the rezoning has been reviewed. The street is. proposed to be private, as is the one across Stonebrook. It will be built to public street standards with the exception thai parking spaces will back directly onto the roadway. This is very typical of the PUD development and in fact allows the development to meet the parking ratios. established in the PUD. This section has an existing brick wall in place along its only street frontage and the PRC did not take the discretion to require any additionalstreetscaping along this roadway. Woodcreek Phase 7 PUDwas approved in 1995 with some controversy fromsurtounding Woodcreek homeowners.regarding screening along Stonebridge. That rezoning was approved conditioned upon a wall and plantings being installed alongStonebridge. The PRC saw no need for additional screening for this section as an existing wall is in place along Stonebrook. Staff received a few inquiries from the public notices with no opposition. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request and preliminary plat with thePresubmission Conference comments. Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing. Engineer Mike McClure, representative of the applicant,. offered to answer any questions associated with the planned trnit development. I \ . ~ Chairman Hawthorne closed the public hearing. Commissioner Gribou moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request and preliminary plat with the staff recommendations. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO.3: Public hearing to consider a rezoning request for lot 14, block T of the University Park Section II Subdivision totaling 2.9 acres and located along the north side of University Drive, approximately 100' west of Spring Loop from A-P Administrative Professional to C-B Business Commercial. (97-101) Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and stated that the site is located in the middle of the University Drive Corridor (a.k.a. Overlay District) and in the middle of an area that was originally intended to become an office strip between the retail commercial areas located at the ends of the corridor. However, much of the office strip has been rezoned to C-B , including the two tracts located immediately adjacent to the subject tract. The corridor is intended to become an attractive, commercial entrance into the City, and the requested rezoning would further this goal. The intended use is for a hotel development. The University Drive Corridor Study, which was adopted by Council in 1991, recommended a mix of commercial and office uses for the majority of the University Drive frontage extending from Tarrow to the East Bypass. The intent of the recommendations was to encourage an attractive entrance into the City through land use and aesthetic controls. Council approved a new commercial district, which lists a range of uses such as hotels, restaurants, and retail, but prohibits convenience stores and service stations. The lots that had been zoned C-1 during the 1980's were rezoned to the new C-B District in 1992 to ensure uses would be in compliance with the corridor plan. The Overlay District ",as created and applied to the corridor as well. This district contains . specific aesthetic requirements and restrictiops. At the time .that the new corridor restrictions were in the process of being implemented, a rezoning from A-P toC-B was requested on the subject tract..That request was denied due to the goal of maintaining. a substantial amount of office zoned property sandwiched between two C-B strips on the north side of University Drive. Two months later, the two tracts located in the strip intended for. office use were rezoned to .C-B with the condition tmlt they be platted into.a single lot. These tracts are located to the east of the subject tract along University. The zoning map still reflects the original R-4 ~d A.-P zoning on .these tracts because the . condition of rezoning to' C-B has not yet been satisfied. However, it is anticipated that the tracts will eventually develop. as C..B uses. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request with the. condition that a 20' landscape buffer area be installed across the northern property line adjacentto the R-4 zoning line. Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing. Representative of.the applicant, Parvis Vesalli, approached the Commission and offered to answer questions pertaining to the re*oning request. Chairman Hawthorne closed the public hearing. Commissioner Massey moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request with the staff recommendations. Commissioner Gribou seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO.4: Consideration ofa final plat of the Technology Business Park totaling 20.9 acres divided into 23 Research and Development lots located on the southeast corner of Sebesta Road and State Highway 6 Frontage Road. (97-206) . . Graduate Civil Engineer Homeyer presented the staff report and stated that this plat is located approximately 1,300 feet south of the intersection of Sebesta Road and State Highway 6. The purpose of this plat is to subdivide 20.77 acres into twenty three Research and Development (R&D) lots, of which lots 3 through 19 of block 1 cannot be built on. . Lot 3 was created to serve as the detention area for this development and lots 4 through 19 do not have access because they are to serve as a green belt buffer to the R-llots located in Woodcreek Section 5.

Mike McClure of McClure Engineering, 9262 Brookwater Circle, came forward to make an additional comment. He noted that in the PUD type development, certain ratios are required and if the ratios were required to be re-figured, deleting out a public street right of way, then the number of lots would decrease.
