She explained that. while working with the Ashford property. owners and their engineers, drainage design has become a difficult: issue. Property owners downstream have experienced localized flooding and :drainage problems from this creek. Drainage Policy and. Design Standards require developments to mitigate adverse impacts. on downstream properties. In light of this .and a recent drainage analysis being performed by the Ashford Square replat, it is apparent that there will be significant drainage .considerations that must be .addressed when developing the property. Staff would recommend that this property owner, along with the Ashford Square properly owner jointly look at regional detention or channel improvements that may be necessary. The City would offerfacilitating such discussions and will review possible participation in long term maintenance of the facility. Staff recommend approval of the preliminary plat with the condition that all staff review comments are addressed.

The abutting.tractto the south is zoned R-S and is proposed forapartment development. The request is technically not in compliance with the Land Use Plan, which. shows the .tract as attached residential along the Southwest Parkway frontage.. However, multi-family and office districts can be exchanged for one another in many cases. The requested rezoning would allow the development that is desired by the applicant while still furthering the step-down land use pattern that has become evident along Southwest Parkway. Ms. Morgan explained that the requested rezoning is compatible with .present and planned uses in the area and maintains astep-down zoning pattern, therefore staff recommended approval.
