Staff report presented by Harwell. This is a subdivision variance to waive the requirement of Section
12.05.030 of the Unified Development Code for "Inter -Parcel Connectivity" along the west property
line of Lot 13, San Gabriel Estates. The subject property is located on the south side of Williams Drive
just east of the intersection with Deer Haven Drive. There are currently two single-family homes on the
property. The subject property falls under three different Future Land Use designations: Community
Commercial (CC), Mixed -Use Neighborhood Center (MUNC), and the Moderate Density Residential
IMDR desi nC tiOns. Tlie subject property is currently zoned AG Agriculture and it is also a part of the
k ) g -" 7 Y_� p y y
ScenicNatural Overlay District. The subject property sits on the south side of Williams Drive. The
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 9
February 18, 2020
properties on the north side of the road, and within the vicinity along Williams Drive, are generally
about two acres in size and have been developed with some general retail uses, auto parts stores, car
washes, and "quick lube" centers. To the east, the lots front onto Williams Drive and are more similar
in size to the subject property and have been developed with a preschool that is adjacent to a senior
living community. To the south of the subject property there is a residential subdivision in the
extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Along the western property line of the subject property there is a
developing portion of a single-family subdivision known as Deer Haven. The subject properties were
platted in 1963 as a part of what was once a rural, large lot residential subdivision. Since that time
much of the original subdivision has redeveloped, including the subject property which was
incorporated into the City Limits in 2006 as a part of a larger 72-acre area between Williams Drive and
Booty's Crossing Road. The entire annexation area was zoned AG, Agriculture, upon annexation. Since
the annexation, a majority of the annexation area fronting Williams Drive has been rezoned to Local
Commercial, C-1, and most of the properties fronting Booty's Crossing Road have remained
Agricultural, AG. Most recently, the subject property was rezoned from the AG zoning district to the C-
1 zoning district on December 10, 2019.
Chair Brashear invited the applicant, James McKinight, to address the Commission. He explained the
issue of connectivity, and also answered Commission questions. Commissioner McMichael asked why
they were not seeking a variance for the other side of the property as well. The applicant responded
that they were asked not to, and they are working with the neighborhood. The traffic engineer, Curtis
Lee, also addressed the Commission. He explained that he dealt with traffic trip generation for the
project. He also explained that it could be dangerous, and a safety concern is traffic cut across the
parking lot to get in and out of the area. This is the reason for the variance request.
Chair Brashear opened the Public Hearing.
Christine Attoun spoke about what would happen if the variance is not approved. She presented a map
and discussed potential traffic issues, and how this will affect everyone.
Diane McIntyre expressed her concern with connectivity, issues with increased traffic, and safety for
children and elderly population. She is in favor of the variance.
Chair Brashear closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner McMichael commented on her concern with connectivity, and the safety hazard of
putting a facility between those commercial entities, and trying to make some connectivity between
them. She is not in favor. This is not the right way for connectivity.
Chair Brashear commented on easements, and different entities having to maintain the private access.
He is not favor either.
Motion to deny agenda item AH (2019-4-WAV) by Commissioner Warren due to conditions 2,3,4 and
5. Second by Commissioner Perthuis, as he is also in agreement with condition 2-5. Approved to
deny the request (4-2), with Commissioner McMichael and Chair Brashear opposed.

AI. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone
approximately 3.277 acres consisting of Lots 7 and 8, Block 1, Williams Addition, Unit 1, and 2.55 acres
out of the Nicholas Porter Survey, Abstract No. 497, from the Office (OF) and Residential Single -Family
(RS) districts to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) district with a base of Office (OF), for the
property generally located at 1625 Williams Drive (2019-7-PUD) -- Michael Patroski, Planner
Staff report by Pastroski. The Applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property into a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) district to develop it with a mix of complimentary and transitional uses to the
surrounding residential and non-residential uses. The proposed development consists of 3 lots totaling
a combined area of 3.277 acres. The intent of the this proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to
develop the subject property with office -based uses while ensuring access and connectivity to the major
arterial Williams Drive and eliminating access from the residential local street Park Lane. The subject
property is located at 1625 Williams Drive on the north side of Williams Drive, between Rivery
Boulevard and River Bend Drive. Two of the lots that make up the proposed Planned Unit
Development (PUD) are directly adjacent to Williams Drive and have recently been approved to build
additional parking spaces and a drive aisle. Additionally, there is an existing 2, 314 square foot
structure on -site that is currently being used as an office. Williams Drive to the east and west of the
subject property has redeveloped with small office and personal services uses in former residential
homes. Particularly between Shannon Lane and Power Road, surrounding properties along the
corridor developed as single-family residential that were later converted or redeveloped with civic,
office and other related uses, bounded by established residential neighborhoods to the north and south.
The increase of commercial development along Williams Drive transitioned this corridor into one of the
City's major commercial corridors, while still maintaining a single-family residential appearance.
Surrounding the subject property to the north is an established single-family residential neighborhood.
Commissioner Perthuis asked about the approved uses, and for staff to define a construction field
office. Nelson explained that this is a temporary building used for supervision at a site. Patroski
explained that at this time, this is zoned for office which is why it is permitted. However, if the PUD is
approved, it will no longer be permitted.
Chair Brashear invited the applicant to address the Commission. The applicant, Josh Baran, explained
that he previously came to board in September. Since then, he was met with neighbors to discuss
concerns about the legal lot status of property. They were able to receive legal lot determination, so
there will be no platting, no variance needed. The next concern was fire access. There only needs to be
2 points of access. He received a letter from Jason Fryer with the City confirming this. He also talked to
neighbors to discuss the issue. There will be a turnaround within the development that will meet fire
code requirements. Baran also explained that there will be interconnectivity by easement, and
demonstrated exhibits for access and circulation. He also demonstrated dedicated green spaces,
renderings of the buildings.
