ITEM
DATE: SEPTEMBER 9, 1994
TO: PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSIONERS
FROM: H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
040
MARCY RATCLIFF, PLANNER.
SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO COMPREHENSIVE ZONING
ORDINANCE 82-73: SECTION 58, PARKING AND LOADING
AREA DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
MEETING DATE: JULY 19, 1994
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission consider amending the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Section 58, Parking and Loading Area Development
Standards and authorize setting a public hearing on August 16, 1994.
Last month an amendment to Section 58, Parking and Loading Area Development
Standards was approved creating requirements for internal cross access between all
nonresidential lots and development because of public right-of-way traffic concerns
created with nonresidential development. The traffic concerns became obvious when
Don Pablos at 1709 CrossRoads Drive submitted a conditional use permit with a site
plan.
At the request of City Council the proposed amendment required internal cross access
between all nonresidential lots and development. Driveway and internal access
already approved with a concept plan or a site plan prior to June 21, 1994 are exempt
from the new requirements. Also, any exceptions listed in the proposed Driveway
Design and Placement Standards are exempt from this requirement. The exceptions
exclude internal cross access on corner lots for gasoline service station development.
Staff implemented these requirements immediately on those cases filed for the July
19th meeting. Staff became aware of problems very quickly when implementing the
new ordinance requirements. Three of the cases filed for the July 19th meeting have
also filed for a variance to the new requirement of internal cross access. In all three
cases the requirement for internal cross access is questionable.
Classic Chevrolet for instance requires a secured parking lot. They have internal cross
access between their own lots, but do not want to cross access another property for
security reasons. OmniAmerican Bank requires a parking lot that can handle the
ingress and egress of their bank patrons through ten drive through banking lanes with
a stacking que of ten, in addition to the parking and traffic created by a six story
office building. OmniAmerican Bank also has security reasons for controlling the
entrances and exits to their banking facility. Shia Business Park, east of
OmniAmerican, on the other hand does not want to be impeded by the traffic
generated by the OmniAmerican office/bank complex. Shia Business Park is a small
development that could be negatively impacted if it's patrons and employees have to
maneuver through the office/bank traffic.
Staff would recommend the Commission authorize a public hearing on August 16,
1994 on Section 58 to consider adopting regulations that would allow exceptions to
the internal cross access with an approved concept plan or site plan.
