Applicant: Rabon Metcalf, P.E., Rabon Metcalf Engineering, agent for ACC OP (Callaway Villas) LP, Property Owner. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat as submitted. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Final Plat for one R-6 High- Density Multifamily lot for the development of an apartment complex. This plat includes a portion of the recently abandoned Luther Street Right-of-Way. The plat is in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates this property as Residential Attached. Marion Pugh Drive is designated as a major collector on the Thoroughfare Plan and Wellborn Road is designated as a major arterial. Item Background: The property was annexed in to the City and zoned Industrial in 1958. When the zoning was changed to M-2, the district also included C-1 uses. In 1984 an amendment was made to the Zoning Ordinance that prohibited C-1 uses in M-2 zones, however, this particular property was specifically exempted from the exclusion of C-1 uses in an M-2 zone, and allowed the General Commercial uses. With the adoption of the Unified Development Ordinance, City Staff worked with the property owners by giving them the choice of retaining the M-2 classification without the commercial uses or being rezoned to C-1 to include the commercial uses. The property was zoned C-1 with the adoption of that Ordinance. The property was zoned R-6 High-Density Multifamily in June 2005. Luther Street was closed in this area in the 1990s and the right-of-way was formally abandoned in June 2005. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board recommends fee in lieu of land dedication. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Final Plat.
