Chairman Massey opened the public hearing. Seeing no one to speak in favor of or in opposition to the request, the public. hearing 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 corridor 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. P&ZMinutes December 18, 1997 Page 3 of 9 +t Alan Hansen, Executive Vice President for Hartland Bank, stated that this area is a good market. The subject location has easy access with a traffic light. He said that this location is good because of centralization between both cities. Chairman Massey closed the public hearing. Commissioner Lightfoot moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consideration of a Preliminary Plat and public hearing of a Conditional Use Permit for the use and associated site plan to allow the construction of a new intermediate school on Graham Road. (97-720 & 97-322) Staff Planner Battle presented the staff report and stated that the proposed development includes the platting of 46 acres that is located in a relatively undeveloped portion of the City that is receiving increasing development interest. The front portion of the larger tract will be used for the intermediate school. CSISD plans to reserve the rear portion for. a future elementary school .site. Full build-out of the entire site will include dedication of the extension of a major collector through the southern portion of the property and dedication of a portion of the property for a park adjoining the elementary school. The first phase of the development is a new intermediate school that includes 74,185 sq. ft. of classrooms and 134 parking spaces. A 480 foot pick up/drop off loop runs parallel to Graham in front of the main building which faces northwest toward Graham, A 100 space parking lot on the southwest side of the site provides most of the parking. The site design leaves a lot of space for future expansions of buildings and parking lots. The Land Use Plan shows medium density residential surrounding the school with some industrial use on Graham southwest of the school site. The driveways do not meet the express technical dimensions as provided in the Driveway Access Ordinance. However, the driveways were redesigned early in the submittal process and the Staff granted a variance as provided under the Ordinance. The applicants are requesting a variance to the curbing requirements for the fire lane drive leading to the turn-around area and for the turn-around itself. Staff is recommending approval of this variance due to the fact that that entire area will be gated off to public access and will be used by the Fire Department in times of emergency only. Similar variances have been granted by the Commission in the past. The request is in compliance with the Land Use Plan and with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The applicants have worked with Staff to lay out a site that seeks to minimize peak hour impacts to the surrounding area. Mr. Battle explained that .Section. 14 of the Zoning Ordinance .authorizes- the existence of conditional uses. The Commission may permit a conditional use subject to appropriate conditions and safeguards, when after public notice and hearing the Commission finds that: (Staff comments are in italics) "The proposed use meets all the minimum standards established in the ordinance for the type of use proposed." Staff reviewed the site plan and found compliance with most of the required development standards. A couple of minor revisions were required and have been submitted The Zoning Ordinance does not. establish parking requirements for public schools. There have been some concerns expressed due to the parking situations at existing schools P&ZMinutes December 18, 1997 Page 4 of 9 >~ Council. Regular 1/7/98 volt. outlet at the condensing unit.

Ms. Kee summarized the advantages. to this type of development in that the process allows a negotiation phase between the staff and developer prior to the
