Drive intersection (2019-9-REZ) -- Michael Patroski, Planner
Staff report presented by Patroski. This item was originally scheduled for October 15, 2019.
The project was rescheduled for November 11, 2019 at the applicants request to better
prepare for the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. The applicant decided to alter
their original plan by reducing the area from 25 to 24 acres, requiring the project to renotify
for the December 17, 2019 Planning and Zoning Meeting. At the December 17, 2019
Planning and Zoning Meeting the applicant requested to have the item continued to the
January 7th, 2020 meeting. At the January 7th, 2020 meeting, the applicant requested to
postpone the item. The applicant is requesting to rezone the Local Commercial (C-1) zoned
portion of the property to High Density Multi -Family (MF-2). The remaining 1-acre
portion will retain its current Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district. The subject property
is currently vacant with minimal tree coverage throughout the site. A significant portion of
the property is located within the FEMA Floodway. In regards to Floodways, Section
15.44.190.A of the Code of Ordinance states "Encroachments are prohibited, including fill,
new construction, substantial improvements and other development within the adopted
regulatory floodway unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic
analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed
encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the community
during the occurrence of the base flood discharge." The subject property borders on High
Density Residential, Open Space, and Employment Center Future Land Use designations.
The entire property is currently zoned Local Commercial (C-1). The subject property is also
part of the Highway Gateway Overlay district.
Commissioner Albright asked what the target ratio is for multifamily. Waggoner explained
there is no target ratio. However, staff looked at the existing ratio across 14 different
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 6
February 4, 2020
subareas in a Housing Study completed as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update. In
addition, there are target ratios that were reviewed for each proposed future land use
category. The target ratios are driven by land use. There was not an established MF for the
whole planning area. In subarea 5, existing housing is approximately 29% ME These ratios
give a snapshot of what the area looks like, not necessarily a measure of compliance.
Commissioner McMichael commented on rezoning requests that ignore the future land
-use. In this case, the request tries to comply with future land use. Commissioner
McMichael does not understand why staff deem the request as not compatible, when in the
long-range plan, this area complies.
Patroski explained that the City wants to preserve commercial development, particularly
along major roadways if possible. Within the designates employment center area, the City
would like to preserve property to support future commercial development.
Chair Brashear invited the applicant to address the Commission. On behalf of the
applicant, Leah Bojo gave a short presentation. She described the project and why the area
was chosen, as well as reasons why this project helps promote City goals.
Chair Brashear opened and closed the Public Hearing, as no one signed up to speak.
Motion to recommend approval of Item O (2019-9-REZ) as presented by Commissioner
McCord. Second by Alternate Commissioner Fuller. Approved (6-0).
