PURPOSE:
Tom Terrell (on behalf of Friends Homes, LLC) is requesting rezoning from CD-O (Conditional District Office) and R-3 (Residential Single Family) to CD-PI (Conditional District Public and Institutional) for property located at 905-1003 Ridgecrest Drive, generally described as northwest of Ridgecrest Drive and south of Arcadia Drive.
Because this request requires an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the decision of the Zoning Commission to approve was not unanimous, the City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider and take action on this request at its July 17, 2018 meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Following a public hearing on June 18, 2018, the Zoning Commission voted 8-0 to approve this rezoning request. The Zoning Commission’s decision to approve was subsequently appealed within the required 10 day appeal period. As a result the City Council must now hold an additional public hearing before deciding on the request.
Three persons spoke in favor of the request and 11 persons spoke in opposition to the request. (See minutes of the June 18, 2018 Zoning Commission meeting).
This rezoning request includes the following conditions:
1. Uses shall be limited to a maximum 14 residential dwelling units
BUDGET IMPACT:
This item will have no budget impact.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Zoning Commission voted 8-0 to approve this request.
