Item Summary: This property is part of the recently approved 60 acre Master Development Plan for Sun Meadows Subdivision that is located east of Schaffer Road and north of Graham. This 11 acre piece is the only portion of the development plan that is still zoned A-O. The proposed property is shown on the land use plan as Single Family Residential - Medium Density, which is associated with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. This property comprises parts of Blocks 9, 10, and it as shown on the master development plan. The plan indicates that 39 dwelling units will be built on this section of the subdivision for a density of 3.4 dwelling units per acre. This proposed build-out complies with the land use plan. The Edelweiss Subdivision, a single family development, is located to the west of the entire master development tract including the property in question. The portion of the master development plan that abuts Edelweiss is part of a previous rezoning. Southwood Athletic Park is located across Arnold Road, to the north of the subject property. An undeveloped Agricultural-Open tract is located to the east of the property. The future land use plan envisions the surrounding area as Single-Family Residential - Medium Density. The City currently has one CIP project near this site, the Graham Road upgrade. The Public Works Department has completed the engineering and design phase. Pending the completion of right-of-way acquisition, Public Works anticipates beginning construction of the roadway early next year. file://O:\GROUP\DEVE_SER\CVSHT\September 14, 2000\00-...\SunMeadowCVSHT.ht 10/18/2000 Page 2 of 3 Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The proposed property is shown on the land use plan as Single Family Residential - Medium Density, which is associated with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. The future land use plan envisions the surrounding area as Single-Family Residential - Medium Density. On the Thoroughfare Plan, Arnold Road is reflected as a minor collector, however in its existing condition the road would not have the capacity to serve the proposed subdivision unless upgraded as reflected in the recently approved Master Development Plan. We are recommending that the upgrade of Arnold Road to collector status be a condition of rezoning. Item Background: Sun Meadows was part of the annexation that took place in the early 1990s. The proposed property currently has the A-O, Agricultural- Open, holding zoning classification that is given to all property acquired during annexation. The property is not currently platted. If the rezoning is approved, the piece will be platted as part of a proposed Sun Meadows Subdivision. As stated earlier, a Master Development Plan for the Sun Meadows Subdivision was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 6, 2000. In April 1996, the abutting 17.28 acres to the west was rezoned to R-1, Single Family, while the 33 acres to the south was rezoned to R-2, Duplex Residential in June of 1996. The three combined pieces make up the proposed Sun Meadows Subdivision. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning with the condition that Arnold Road be constructed to minor collector standards. Related Board Recommendations: This item is scheduled to be heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 7, 2000. Unfortunately, September 7th is after coversheets are due to Council. Staff will inform the Council of the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation during the staff presentation and will have a draft copy of the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes sent to Council as soon as possible. The Parks Board considered the parkland dedication for this property on May 9, 2000 and recommends a parkland fee in lieu of land dedication for the subject property. The Board also recommended that pedestrian/bike access not be restricted along the north side of the subdivision from the residential area to Southwood Athletic Park. Council Action Options: The Council has final authority over the question of rezoning. The Council options are: file://O:\GROUP\DEVE_SER\CVSHT\September 14, 2000\00-...\SunMeadowCVSHT.ht 10/18/2000 Page 3 of 3 1. Approval of rezoning as submitted. 2.
