COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Chairman Rife, Commissioners Horlen, Floyd, Warren, Parker, and Mooney. COMMISSIONERS ABSENT: Commissioner Kaiser. COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Council Member Maloney. STAFF PRESENT: Senior Planner McCully, Staff Assistant Charanza, Assistant Development Coordinator George, Graduate Engineer Tondre, Transportation Planner Hard, Staff Planner Hitchcock, Staff Planner Jimmerson, Staff Planner Anderson, and Assistant City Attorney Ladd. AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Hear visitors Benito Flores-Meath, 901 Val Verde, urged the City to consider the requirement that rental property owners pay some sort of annual fee to the City to allow them to rent their properties. The following items were approved by common consent. AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Consent Agenda. Agenda Item No. 2.1: Approved of minutes from the Regular Meeting held on February 3, 2000. Agenda Item No. 2.2: Approved the Final Plat for Holleman Village Addition Section Two, 5.168 acres located at the southwest intersection of Holleman Drive West and Jones Butler Road. (99-21) REGULAR AGENDA AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Public hearing and consideration of a Final Plat for Kapchinski to resubdivide two single-family residential lots into three single-family residential lots. (00-4) Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and stated that the subject property is located in the Southside neighborhood, which is currently covered by a moratorium on building permits and one on final plats. The applicant submitted the final plat before the moratorium went into effect and is therefore P&Z Minutes February 17, 2000 Page I of 8 not subject to their provisions. The replat is not considered a minor plat because a public electrical line must be extended to satisfy the Subdivision Regulation that all lots must have access to public utilities. Therefore the plat is subject to review by the Planning & Zoning Commission rather than staff review. The applicant is requesting one additional single family lot, which triggers the public hearing requirement and will require a parkland dedication fee to cover that additional lot. If the Commissioners find that the final plat complies with the Subdivision regulations and all other applicable codes, complies with the Comprehensive Plan, and provides adequate infrastructure, then the plat should be approved according to state statute requirements. Staff reviewed the plat and found compliance with all applicable requirements and recommends approval of the plat as submitted (all review comments were addressed on the revised plat). Ms. McCully explained that there were some calls from surrounding property owners in which they were opposed to density as shown on the plat. Chairman Rife asked if the applicant met all current lot size minimums on this proposed plat. Ms. McCully clarified that the shown lot sizes on the proposed plat meet the current ordinance requirements. Chairman Rife opened the public hearing. Mr. Charlie Szabuniewicz, the developer of the property, said that he was very sensitive to single family residences. He offered to answer any questions posed by the Commissioners. Chairman Rife closed the public hearing. Commissioner Floyd moved to approve the final plat as submitted. Commissioner Warren seconded the motion. Commissioner Warren expressed her concern that the use would impact the adjacent property owners. Chairman Rife called for the vote, and the motion to approve the final plat passed 4-2; Commissioners Warren and Mooney voted in opposition to the motion. AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Public hearing and consideration of a Conditional Use Permit, site plan and use, for a convenience store/gas station, Eason @ Dartmouth Crossing, to be located at 2500 Dartmouth Drive. (00-8) Staff Planner Anderson presented the staff report and stated that the proposal was to construct a 5,605 square foot convenience store and an eight (8) pump gas station at the southwest corner of Dartmouth Drive and Southwest Parkway. The property is currently zoned C-N Neighborhood Business. Convenience stores and gas stations are not expressly permitted in a C-N district, but may be allowed under the provision listed "other uses to be determined by the Commission." All uses permitted in the C-N district must have their use, location, and site plan approved by the Commission. In November 1998, the Commission approved the conceptual site plan and use permit. However, since no building permits were pulled within 12 months of the previous approval, the November 1998 conditional use permit has expired. Except for the professional office located to the west, developed or zoned residential districts surround the subject property on all sides. The abutting property to the south is currently an undeveloped R-5 Apartment Medium Density tract. Ms. Anderson explained that Neighborhood Business uses must meet the intent of the C-N district.
