Ms. Kee stated that to avoid leaving a spot within the area with a different zoning classification staff recommends initiating rezoning these three. tracts as well. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning and recommends initiating rezoning of the three tracts not included with this case. Commissioner Silvia asked staff how much it would cost the City to install street lights in the area. Electrical Superintendent Havens explained that a preliminary design was done when Foxfire was annexed and the cost was approximately. $68,000. Mr. Havens stated that funds are available in the current budget. Chairman Massey opened the public hearing. Ms. Stacy Gunnels, President of the Foxfire Homeowners Association, explained that all homeowners were notified of this rezoning request. Out of state owners were notified by certified, signature requested mail. Several years .ago, sixty-four owners expressed opposition to the street lighting, therefore the lighting was not pursued. However, the rezoning and the. streeting lighting are not related. Travis Small, Foxfire homeowner, expressed his concern for weed control, parking in the yard and motor homes parked along the streets. He asked if the City would maintain the 25' easements (ditches) or if the. homeowners would be required to maintain. Fire Marshall Mies explained that the A-OR zoning district would be exempt from weed control, recreational vehicles parked along the street and parking in the yard. He stated that weed control would be handled on a complaint basis. Mr. Mies stated that the City would not maintain the 25' ditch section unless it caused drainage problems. Chester Messick, Executive Director of Holy Cross Lutheran Church, stated that this church was not included in the Foxfire Homeowners Association: He stated that he had concern for what impact this rezoning would have on the church facility. Chairman Massey closed the public hearing. Commissioner Garner moved to recommend approval of the rezoning for Foxfire including the recommendation to initiate rezoning of the three excluded tracts. Commissioner Silvia seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Public hearing and consideration of a City initiated rezoning of the South Hampton Subdivision, a 52 acre single family subdivision located at the southwest corner of Nantucket Drive and State Highway 6 from R-1 Single Family Residential to PDD-H Planned Development District -Residential. (97-119) City Planner Kee presented the staff report and stated that the subject property was recently rezoned to R-1 Single Family after a master plan was 'approved showing 115 single family lots ranging in size from 1/4 to 1/2 acres. The minimum lot size in R-1 is 1/8 acre. If the property remains R-1, the lots could be subdivided in the future into. even smaller lots. The PDD is a new district that ties .the zoning classification to a particular development plan. This PD district ties the developer of South Hampton and any future owner/developer to the plan that was approved. Ms. Kee stated that any further subdividing or changing of the street .layout would require another rezoning process and therefore involve two public hearings. P&Z Minutes December 18, 1997 Page 2 of 9 , i Ms. Kee explained that the plan presented with this PDD contains the following: • 109 single family lots, • residential and collector street layout as shown with one access onto Nantucket Drive, • 39 foot wide collector streets (Sand Dollar, Sconset from Wayfarer to SH 6, Cranberry Court, Ebbtide Loop, Bay and Wayfarer), • 27 foot wide streets are the remaining cul-de-sacs, • two buffer areas along SH 6 (75') and Nantucket Drive (40'). These areas will be maintained by the individual property owners. • lost LR 1,2,3 will be given to the Nantucket Homeowners Association for maintenance (for signage and landscaping) • Sidewalks as per the Subdivision Regulations. Ms. Kee stated that staff recommends approval of PDD-H subject to Council approval of the PD district ordinance and subject to staff deterrnination of appropriate right-of--way widths based on design once the drainage report is complete. Chairman Massey opened the public hearing. Seeing no one to speak in favor of or in opposition to the request, the public heanYng was closed. Commissioner. Silvia moved to recommend approval of the rezoning with staff recommendations. Commissioner Garner seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning request for approximately 0.96 acres, part of Lot 14, Block T University Park II, located near the northwest corner of University Drive East .and Spring Loop from C-B Business Commercial to A-P Administrative Professional. (97-120) Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and stated that this portion of Lot 14, as well as the remaining two acres, was .rezoned earlier this year from A-P Administrative Professional to C-B Business Commercial. The rezoning was approved even though the Land. Use Plan showed that the tract should remain office service -the deviation from the Plan was warranted due to the fact that most of the tracts within the University Drive Overlay District on the north side of the road had already been rezoned to C-B over the past few years. The earlier policy to reserve some tracts toward the center of the comdor as office service was there fore essentially no longer applicable to this area. The rezoning was conditioned upon a 20' landscape buffer between the commercial lot and the existing residential to the north. A minor replat has been submitted to Staff for approval for the division into two lots. The owner is preparing the lot for development as a hotel on the western two acres and a bank on the subject 0.98 acres. The bank development will fit the A P zoning that had existed on the property prior to the recent rezoning. The owner is therefore requesting that .the subject property revert to the previous A:P zoning with no .conditions but will retain the C-B zoning on the remaining two acres within the 20' buffer condition. Staff recommended approval of this rezoning. Chairman Massey opened the public hearing. Fain McDougal, representative of the owner, stated that this would be an excellent location for a bank.
