AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Discussion and possible action on a Master Development Plan for

Assistant City Engineer Mayo presented the Staff Report. He opened by stating that Staff recommends
approval as submitted. He explained that the applicant is wishing to develop 2 lots within this Master
Development Plan (MDP). The MDP shows the "parent" tract from which these parcels were
obtained. He reported that both properties are currently zoned C-1. These C-1 properties do not
actually abut the R-1 zoned property, but are separated by a distance of approximately 100'. Mr. Mayo
stated that the Developer will construct the water line along Associates and sewer line along the
backside and that there are two proposed access easements that correspond to the access ways to Sam's
and Cinemark. The property on the east side of Associates has been reclaimed from the Carter's Creek
floodplain by filling. He added that a LOMR-F has been filed with FEMA and approval is expected
very soon. Additionally, Mr. Mayo said that the City's Land Use Plan depicts the 2 lots as Retail
Regional and that the current zoning is compatible with this. State Highway 30, as it abuts the subject
property to the south, is designated as a Freeway/ Expressway on the Thoroughfare Plan. Associates
Drive, as it abuts the subject property to the west, is an alley that was constructed to local street
standards in anticipation of commercial traffic volumes. The property to the rear of the lots is
designated on the City's Comprehensive Plan as Open Space and Bike Path. In closing, Mr. Mayo
stated that the Master Development Plan is included in the 30/60 Study and that the study
recommended that all properties to the west of Carter's Creek remain as the Comprehensive Plan
shows.
Commissioner Floyd asked about the buffer.
The applicant, Philip Tremont, 2700-A Wildflower, stated that there is approximately a buffer of 100
feet between the C-1 property and the residential property and does have natural vegetation such as
yopon, and various trees, including some oak trees.
Commissioner Floyd asked if there are trees and vegetation between his property and the adjoining
property to the east. Mr. Tremont said that there is not...
