(97-304) City Planner Kee presented the staff report and stated that this property has had A-O, Agricultural zoning on it since annexation. The intended uses for lots in the. subdivision are for commerciaVindustrial uses like those found in the G2 zoning district. There are to be 6 lots ranging in size from. 2.12 acres to 3.45 acres. The plat shows the extension of Longmire Drive through the property as a minor arterial. The property is bound by Birmingham on the. north (collector) and Graham on the south (minor arterial). The zoning ordinance grants the Commission discretion to require streetscaping along collector roadways. The presubmission conference staff recommends requiring streetscaping on Birmingham along with the other two arterials, with installation any plantings along roadways to be with the development of each lot rather than at the time of plat .filing. Staff recommended approval with the comments in the presubmission conference report, includeing streetscaping along Birmingham which is in'keeping with policy regarding streetscaping of commercial collector roadways. A rezoning request will follow in the near future and any approval of this preliminary plat should be made contingent upon a successful rezoning as well.

He stated that he will take the item to Council at some date in the neaz future for direction rgazding the trial measures they prefer. Commissioners all commended staff for the efforts made to address the problems in this area. City Planner Kee came forwazd to update the Commission on progress of the new Comprehensive Plan since the Commission last saw it. She stated there had been two workshops with Council to go through the goals and objectives and make changes. Regarding the larger policy issues, they did not feel comfortable precluding all development in flood. plains; they held to the parks plan that showed the linkages between neighborhoods, schools, etc. The consultants were showing higher densities closer to the university, but there was a lot of opposition from the southside residents, so that area has been changed to show a medium density SF land use. The College Hills Eastgate area was tweaked to show mostly.'redevelopment along Texas Avenue and the Kyle area, and preserves more SF around the park area. Some use'and density changes are to be made in the Rock Prairie-Greens Prairie- SH6 triangle. There-was a lot of discussion about Appomattox, with the decision reached to leave Appomattox on the Thoroughfare Plan connecting 'Windwood and Raintree subdivisions. Staff has communicated to the consultants concerning all the changes to be made and they will get that infoormation back to us. Tentative plans are to have additional public hearings in April or May with approval and implementation of the plan to follow shortly. AGENDA ITEM N0.8': Other business. There was no other business.
