Body
ACTION:
Action
There are no timing requirements prescribed to act on the rezoning request. However, the recommendation taken on the Major General Plan amendment and text amendment will likely be associated with the recommendation on the rezoning request. As such, three action possible options are outlined below.
Option 1 Recommendation of Approval
The Planning Commission recommends forwarding to the Town Council approval of MI-16-04 changing the zoning district from “R-43 Single Family Residential District” (minimum 43,560 square-foot lots) to the “R-10 Single-Family Residential District” (minimum 10,000 square-foot lots), provided the related applications that include the Major General Plan amendment, the text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, the platting, the Conditional Use Permit for the private road, and the Special Use Permit for the private roadway gates are non-severable with an effective date that is dependent upon the approval and recordation of the final plat and submittal of the Proposition 207 waiver. Said amendment shall be subject to the following stipulations:
1. The applicant shall provide a duly executed Proposition 207 waiver in a form acceptable by the Town Attorney no later than recordation of the final plat on this property;
2. All lots and tracts on the recorded final plat for this property shall be in compliance with all applicable Town Ordinances, shall be in substantial conformance with the Preliminary Plat for “The Villas at Cheney Estates”, Sheets 1-5, prepared by CVL Consultants, dated October 27, 2016, and shall be in substantial compliance with the approved final plat for said property;
3. The applicable Conditional Use Permit for a private roadway and Special Use Permit for private roadway gates for the property shall be approved by the Town;
4. Prior to the final plat for “The Villas at Cheney Estates” being reviewed by the Planning Commission and/or Town Council, the appropriate documentation shall be provided to the Town regarding assurances that structures and persons present on the property due to the development of said subdivision meet or exceed Town, State, and Federal standards related to flood safety. Such documentation shall include the approved conditional letter of flood map revision granted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA);
5. Prior to recordation of the final plat for “The Villas at Cheney Estates”, the final letter of map revision granted by FEMA shall be submitted to the Town;
6. Prior to the final plat for “The Villas at Cheney Estates” being reviewed by the Planning Commission and/or Town Council, the appropriate documentation shall be provided to the Town regarding said subdivision having a 100-year assured water supply; and
7. Prior to recordation of the final plat for “The Villas at Cheney Estates”, an assurance shall be provided to the Town for the improvement of a bicycle and pedestrian route within the Northern Avenue alignment. This assurance shall cover the cost to install the route and landscaping adjoining the property. If said bicycle and pedestrian route is not designed within ten (10) years of the effective date of this ordinance, such assurance shall be released.
Option 2 Recommendation of Denial
The Planning Commission recommends forwarding to the Town Council denial of MI-16-04 changing the zoning district from “R-43 Single Family Residential District” (minimum 43,560 square-foot lots) to the “R-10 Single-Family Residential District” (minimum 10,000 square-foot lots). This recommendation is based on the denial of GP-16-01, a Major General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from "Low Density Residential" to "Medium Density Residential.”
Option 3 Recommendation of Continuance
The Planning Commission recommends continuing their action to the regular meeting of (December 6, 2016 or other specified meeting date or an unspecified meeting date) to allow for additional time to understand the impact of the rezoning request as it relates to the related applications to develop eight (8) residential lots, each lot being under one acre in size.
