AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning for the Edelweiss Gartens Venture located northeast of Wellborn Road and Southeast of Graham Road. (02 -93) Senior Planner Battle presented the Staff Report. He stated that Staff recommends approval of the request. Mr. Battle explained that the request is to rezone approximately 19.5 acres from R -1, Single Family Residential, and R &D, Research & Development and Light Industry, to R -2, Duplexes. The property is located south of Graham Road, and adjacent to Wellborn Road and the future Highway 40 intersection. He pointed out that the Edelweiss Gartens Master Development Plan was approved by the Commission in 2001 and shows a mix of R -1, Single Family Residential, and R -3, Townhouse development. The applicant wishes to rezone the subject property in order to make some modifications. Mr. Battle explained that the City's development policies encourage a reduction of land use intensity as development approaches residential areas. The R &D district was previously approved to provide a transition between residential and non - residential development. Staff believes that the proposed R -2 will also provide a similar transition. Similarly, the R -2 will provide a transition from the future Highway 40 and widened Wellborn Road to single - family residential. Mr. Battle added that the Comprehensive Plan defines this area for medium density, single family with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre. With this proposed change, the Edelweiss Gartens development will have an approximate density of 5.4 dwelling units per acre. Additionally, the variety of housing types is in compliance with the City's development policies. Mr. Battle pointed out that the applicant would have to amend the master development plan at time of platting. Chairman Floyd opened the public hearing. Steve Arden, 311 Cecilia Loop, developer, spoke in favor of the rezoning. Some type of buffering between the development and the future Highway 40 is needed. That is why a gradation of zoning is very important at this intersection. As presently zoned, single family homes would be backing the overpass of the future Highway 40. Chairman Floyd asked how access to the proposed townhouses would be provided. Mr. Arden explained that access is provided by Graham Road and possibly the future Highway 40.
