AGENDA ITEM NO. 10: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning
for Edelweiss Gartens located Northeast of Wellborn Road and Southeast of Graham
Road, from R&D, Research & Development and Light Industry, and R-1, Single Family
Residential, to R-2, Duplex Residential. (02-152)
Senior Planner Battle presented the Staff Report. Mr. Battle stated that Staff recommends
approval of the rezoning with proposed buffers. He explained that this item came before the
Commission on July 1, 2002 and received a unanimous recommendation for approval. However,
on July 11, 2002, the City Council voted to send this item back to the Commission for further
consideration regarding the buffer that would be required between the duplex development and
the existing industrial properties along Graham Road. Mr. Battle reported that the applicant has
submitted a proposal for additional buffers, a 6' wooden fence, which is required by ordinance,
and an additional 40' planted buffer area, 20' feet on each side, to address the City Council's
concerns. Additionally, any undeveloped industrial property will also have a buffer requirement
when they are developed.
Chairman Floyd opened the public hearing.
Steve Arden, 311 Cecilia Loop, reiterated the information given by Staff and added that the
proposed 40' vegetative screen exceeds the present ordinance.
