Public hearing, discussion and possible action on a request to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan for approximately 85 acres generally bound by the Highway 6 frontage road, Arrington Road and the South Oaks Subdivision. (03 -240) City Planner Kee presented this item to the Commission. She stated that the request was to amend the Land Use Plan for 9.22 acres located at and in the vicinity of 4506 State Highway 6 South. Ms. Kee continued by explaining that the subject property was annexed in 1983 under an A -O rezoning. She pointed out the existing uses and access points and explained that the water lines will be extended for development. The current Land Use Plan designation for the subject property is Medium Density Single Family and is intended to provide for single - family detached residential developments while the proposed Land Use Plan designation is for Retail Regional and is intended to provide for regional -scale development of tax- generating developments. These are generally dependent on good access to highways and major arterials. Ms. Kee explained that land use planning cannot be conducted on an individual parcel in isolation and that the appropriate land use designation is partially determined by its relationship to the surrounding area. She stated that while the application was submitted for a specific parcel, the Staff analysis covers an 84.7 -acre area that includes surrounding properties. Ms. Kee explained the 4 factors Staff used to determine the recommendation that is presented for consideration. Ms. Kee clarified for Commissioners Davis and White where future State Highway 40 will line up with the subject property and that the acreage would also be considered regional retail. Chairman Shafer asked about the existing homes. Ms. Kee stated that residents were notified of the possible changes and are in support of it. Don Jones, 804 Berry Creek, a representative for the applicant, stated that he hasn't received any responses from his attempts to reach the adjacent property owners. He added that one of the owners of the subject property feels that the commercial zoning is appropriate and is marketing his property as such. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. Since no one else desired to make any comments, Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing. Commissioner Trapani motioned to approve the amendment. Commissioner Davis seconded the motion, which carried 6 -0. FOR: Trapani, Reynolds, Shafer, White, Williams, and Davis. AGAINST: None. ABSENT: Hall. Commissioner Trapani congratulated the Staff for being pro- active and including all the properties in this amendment. Commissioner Davis and Chairman Shafer concurred.
