Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a rezoning for Bridle
Gate Estates Phase II, consisting of 27 lots on 8.591 acres, located at end of
Bridle Gate Drive.
Applicant: Alton Ofcharzak, General Manager of Oakwood Custom Homes
Group, Ltd, property owner.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary: This property was recently platted for single - family
development, but is currently zoned R -6 High Density Multi- family. With the
adoption of the Unified Development Ordinance, single - family homes are no
longer a permitted use in R -6. A rezoning to R -1 Single - Family Residential is
required before any building permits for single - family homes can be issued.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates this area
as Single Family Residential. This property is immediately east of the future
extension of Longmire Drive, a major collector on the Thoroughfare Plan and
west of the first phase of Bridle Gate Estates, which is currently zoned R -6.
Phase One is already developed and may remain R -6 as a legal non - conformity.
Item Background: The property was annexed in 1983 and rezoned to R -6 in
1985. Bridle Gate Phase I was platted in 1999 and Phase II was platted in late
2003.
Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body
on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council.
The Commission's options are:
1. Recommend approval;
2. Recommend denial;
3. Table indefinitely; or,
4. Defer action to a specified date.
