(97-102) Director of Development Services Callaway described this item. Mr. Callaway stated that the subject property is located in the University Drive corridor, it abuts future multi-family areas to the north and to the east; there is a relatively small vacant A-P lot to the west. The University Drive study recommended this area to be a mix of commercial and medium density residential and the request is in conformance with the study. This request also complies with the draft land use plan. The subject tract was a part of a larger rezoning request that was approved for 40 acres of C-B zoning and 25 acres of R-5 zoning. That rezoning was approved with several conditions that have not yet been met; therefore the official zoning of the entire 65 acres remains R-1. The conditions were imposed in order to ensure compliance with the University Drive Study recommendations. Several of those conditions are pertinent to the 5.7 acres that are now under consideration. Staff recommended approval with the following conditions: 1. That access points to the tract be limited at the time of development to one drive off of University Drive aligning with the existing drive to the south across University Drive. City Council Regular Meeting Page 4 Thursday, March 27, 1997 2. That cross access be provided at the time of development to the future R-5 and the existing A-P through the subject tract. 3. That a sewer impact study be provided at the time of development analyzing the impact of the development on the sewer infrastructure and any improvements are born by the developer. 4. That a tree survey be submitted prior to the zoning becoming effective and special consideration be given to the preservation of valuable trees at the time of site development. No trees are to be removed until a site plan is submitted and without the express permission of the Project Review Committee. 5. A 100' landscape buffer area between the subject site and the future R-5 to the north and east. Mayor Mcllhaney opened the public hearing. Mr. Robert W.
