Description/Background:
John Thackeray, on behalf of The Thackeray Company, has submitted an application for a zone change of approximately 9.32 acres across three contiguous properties located at approximately 10670 S. 700 E. The property subject to the rezone application is a portion of the total acreage of the three properties, a total of 11.89 acres. The proposed zone change would change the subject portion of the property from the CN Zone "Planned Center-Neighborhood District" to the PUD(12) Zone "Planned Unit Development (12 units per acre)." The unaffected remainder portion (approximately 2.57 acres) would remain in the CN Zone, and includes the majority (550') of the frontage along 700 E. A vacant building, formerly Ream's, is located on the northern most parcel of the three properties.
The Applicant has submitted a concept plan that shows 100 townhomes on the subject property and three commercial pads on the remainder portion. The townhomes depicted include a mix of single story and 2-story units, with the majority of the single story units along the south and west boundary of the subject property.
The Applicant's original proposal was presented in a neighborhood meeting held on August 23, 2018. The Application was presented to the Planning Commission in a public hearing on February 7, 2019. The Planning Commission, by a vote of 7-0, forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to not approve the Application.
Fiscal Impact:
A potential subdivision would likely increase the revenue and expenses of the City by minimal amounts.
Further action to be taken:
The Application is requesting a rezone, a legislative item, and is being presented to the City Council for a decision to approve or deny the proposed zone change. A separate application for a subdivision or site plan would need to submitted and approved prior to development.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
