FROM: SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
RON STOMBAUGH, ASST. DIR. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 17, 2017
SUBJECT: AM16-03—AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 25, "CC' COMMUNITY
COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, SECTION 26, "HC' HIGHWAY
COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, SECTION 29, "HCO" HOTEL AND
CORPORATE OFFICE DISTRICT AND SECTION 32 "BP"
BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT RELATIVE TO THE APPLICATION
PROCESS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the proposed
amendments to the zoning ordinance relative to the application process, and take any
action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the September 20 and October 18 meetings, the Commission and Council considered
multiple applications on a 52 acre tract of land with discussion centering on a multi-faceted
development consisting of an expansion to an existing hotel, the construction of a new
hotel, and the development of a 359 unit multi-family complex. These three development
proposals required seven different applications (one zoning change application, three
conditional use applications, and three planned development overlay applications) for
property that was intended to be developed as one project. Although the property
owner/developer intended to construct this project as one "development," each portion of
the project required individual advertising, property owner notification, and discussion
during the public hearing which may have inhibited the developer's ability to present the
case as one large, multi-faceted development.
With the goal of reducing the cumbersome process of considering numerous applications
for the same parcel of land, staff has created a new conditional use category called
"Master Site Development Plan." This would allow, through the conditional use process,
the ability to consider multiple requests, to include multiple conditional use, special use,
and planned development overlay requests, through one application on tracts of land five
acres in size or larger. Staff has also included in this amendment a process to consider
additional uses not normally considered in the commercial zoning districts which may be
appropriate when considered a part of a large multi-faceted development with a mixture
of many uses, i.e., retail, office and residential uses.
O:ZCU:2016:AM 16-03.4.4
At a Planning & Zoning Commission workshop on December 15, 2016, the Commission
considered the proposed creation of the Master Site Development Plan and
recommended adding some additional language to the "Purpose" statement to provide
direction to potential applicants and further clarify the intent of the section. In addition,
. more residential uses were included in subparagraph 2 to include, Section 16, "R-5.0"
Zero Lot Line District, Section 17, "R-3.5" Two Family District, and Section 18, R-3.75"
Three and Four Family District. This language has been added to Section 25, "CC"
Community Commercial District, Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District, Section
29, "HCO" Hotel and Corporate Office District and Section 32, "BP" Business Park District
as the most appropriate districts that can utilize the Master Site Development Plan
concept. See the attached ordinances.
