projects could develop, including low-density apartments at 16 dwelling units per acre, townhomes,
duplexes and single family.
Harvey Mitchell Parkway is classified as a freeway/expressway on the Thoroughfare Plan. Access to
these roadways should be limited to controlled entrance points. This particular tract, however, does not

Ordinance to ensure that this access point is located and constructed to the safest standards.

Regular Agenda Item No. 12.4 - Public hearing, discussion and possible action on an amendment
to the Wolf Pen Creek zoning district pertaining to dedication and development of the minimum
reservation area.
City Planner Jane Kee stated the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan adopted in 1988 provides for hike and
bike trails throughout the park along the creek. When the Wolf Pen Creek zoning ordinance was
adopted in 1989, this area was called the minimum reservation area. It was defined as an area twenty
feet wide running parallel to the floodway on either side of the creek. In the ordinance, the developers
had an option to dedicate this property to the City to ultimately improve or to improve it themselves and
maintain it or dedicate to the City after making
improvements. The master plan was revised in 1998 and an oversight committee was established to
oversee implementation of the master plan. The committee suggested more detailed design on the
downstream portion of the creek to establish where those areas that would ultimately contain the trails
and other improvements.
The proposed amendment changes would allow the following:
More specific description for the minimum reservation areas for the downstream portion of the
creek
The developer now has the option to dedicate this better-defined area as a drainage and access
easement rather than as a fee simple dedication. They would have the option to actually develop
the improvements himself and maintain the improvements.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommended approval of the amendments to the Wolf
Pen Creek zoning district.
