Motion by Fought, second by Gonzalez, to approve Item U. Councilmember Jonrowe, asked some questions about the lot size, how large a potential building could be given the setbacks and other building requirements including the buffer, parking, etc. Nelson addressed all of Jonrowe's questions but stated that she has not seen any building plans so she would not be able to address the question about building size, and they would also have parking to consider. Jonrowe asked about the cumulative effect that these types of rezones would have on Williams Drive and asked about the requirements for traffic impact analysis. Nelson explained that a TIA may not be required if there is less than 2,000 trips expected. She also said that the Williams Drive corridor Study will provide more information in the future, but currently the Planning Department is looking at these rezones on a case-by-case basis. Jonrowe expressed some concern about gas stations being allowed in the C-1 designation and if the city is moving forward on updating that in the code. Nelson described that staff is working toward isolating gas stations in the UDC revisions. She also noted that it would be difficult do to a gas station on this property unless the property is combined with an adjacent property. Councilmember Gonzalez stated that looking at the size of the lot and setback, buffer, and impervious cover limitation will make it difficult to design a building. Nelson stated that the owner will have to use the existing structure, or the owner will be required to adhere to parking requirements, but it will be difficult. Mayor Ross asked if this site is next to the property in question in Item V and if they are the same property owner, and what could happen if someone were combine the two properties? Will there then be enough space to have a project based on the constraints mentioned by Mr. Gonzalez. Nelson stated that this would offer more opportunities for redevelopment. Nelson stated that the applicant is present Grant Watts, property owner, spoke about his plans for the use of this site. Mr. Watts plans to use both properties for offices. Based on the future land use anticipated for Williams Drive, it seems it would be better to seek the C-1 designation down the road. Mr. Watts has conversation with adjacent property owner to share drive paths to Rivery Blvd and match the look and feel. He doesn't have any plans other than to use the existing buildings as they are.

He also stated that the city is working on the alignment and doing the study work, this line is part of a larger interceptor line that has been a part of the master plan for many years and plans for these lines to work around drainage around gravity flow providing for safer wastewater movement. The wastewater alignment won't be established by creating the MUD but the MUD will contribute financially to the wastewater line. There is still a significant amount of study work and discussion to be done.

Gary Newman (the developer) addressed the council. He clarified that this development will have 985 LUE's and the line will handle about 25,000 LUE's to address Mr. Brainard's question about the impact of this development on the wastewater line.

Baird also indicated some of the areas that are dedicated ti Baird read the caption Motion by Jonrowe, second by Brainard to approve Item AD Councilmember Hesser mentioned that his original concern was about the approval to do the bulb -out. He stated that this has raised some additional concern about the proposed theater and the existing apartment causing an issue regarding the parking that will be available. Hesser is concemed that the city is double counting the parking spaces in this area and that is contributing to the parking issues at Blue Hole. The parking in this area is very inadequate for everything that is going on in that area. The city needs to look at the parking situation in this area. Councilmember Fought indicated support of Hesser's concerns. The situation seems to be that when you look at parking on 'a case-by-case level when applying UDC and parking it works, but not when you lot at it in the aggregate. There is not enough parking down there. The city is doing all the participants a disservice and he doesn't want to see council make a mistake. This is an issue that is not addressed by UDC, but can be addressed by council. Mayor Ross asked what the revocable license means. Travis says city has right to take the space back for city purpose, doesn't have to do with parking. The bulb out creates an aesthetic look and in doing so, it also creates a little bit of parking. Councilmember Jonrowe stated that council needs to look at what is before them today, there is a bigger discussion about the future of parking in the downtown. This is in line with downtown plan to create the walkable environment. Hesser is not discouraging this but sees the need to address parking as a whole.

The Planning & Zoning Commission also recommended approval. Nelson read the caption. Councilmember Brainard acknowledge that this is the second reading on zoning, but asked when council will see this again. Nelson stated that council will not see this again. Councilmember Gonzalez identified that the challenge isn't with the zoning but with how the developer plans this subdivision to connect to neighboring subdivisions. David Morgan, City Manager, addressed the concern about council's level of design control on this request. The individual stipulations are not part of the zoning approval. Gonzalez stated that if this request is denied, the applicant will have to wait a full year to request again. Nelson that is correct One citizen signed up to comment on this item: Sarah Hulsey. Sarah made the following comments... • Worried about Summercrest becoming the thoroughfare • What would a TIA have to show to stop the city from using Summercrest as a thoroughfare • Subdivision will be disproportionately and negatively impacted • Worried about this being situation similar to Majestic Oaks, doesn't want Summercrest to be similarly affected • Would like to city to seek other ways of access Mayor Ross and Nelson clarified that this is simply a zoning request at this time. He asked what other alternatives might be available to the use of Summercrest. Nelson confirmed that when Summercrest was built and identified as a residential collector street. The current regulations does require subsequent subdivisions to use the collectors that are stubbed out and in place. The subdivision plat has not been submitted, but the developer is available to discuss the intended plans for the subdivision. Jimmy Griffith (developer), Griffith Consulting, addressed the council regarding the intentions for the subdivision Asking for single family • Have ben approaching this by following the current city requirements about dealing with the stub -outs, would have liked to reduce the number of extensions into the new development • Wouldn't be opposed to not having to connect with all collector streets if the city would make an exception • Not fixed on any plans now and will work with traffic impact analysis • Receptive to guidance • Ask that council doesn't deny zone change • Lighter density residential than in Summercrest and University Park Nelson stated that this rezoning is consistent with the land use plan. Brainard stated that the cardinal rule is that form follows function. The function is more important than the form. This road has been designed to push through but that doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do. If this development is approved to move forward as it is, the integrity of the current neighborhood will be compromised. Mayor reminding council that the issue before them is zoning. Brainard is not asking that the city zone this differently; he is simply suggesting that consideration be taken when accommodating this request. Councilmember Eby suggested that council give direction to staff about the concerns of council and the citizens; give direction to staff about taking all of these concerns in to consideration when moving forward. Mayor replied by stating that staff is taking the concerns into consideration and that council is probably not the proper body to micromanage this project. Mayor asked the developer if there is a way to mitigate concerns Mr. Griffith stated that, through design, they would try to encourage residents not to use Summercrest • The TIA will look at all the major intersections and roads, then give guidance • No way to assure what way traffic will go • Happy to consider not tying in if that is the direction provided by COG Gonzalez suggested that the city review for other options that would not use Summercrest as a thoroughfare to go all the way through the community. Nelson stated that in the current UDC there isn't a variance where the developer could ask for variance, but the new UDC revisions provides for a variance that the developer can take to the Planning & Zoning Commissions for items like this. Nelson suggests that the zoning be approved and that the developer consider using the PUD as an option to help give COG more control over the design of the subdivision. Gonzalez would like staff to look at the potential for using Summercrest as a feeder route rather than a road that would go all the way through the subdivision. Motion by Brainard to postpone consideration of Item AG to March 14th, second by Gonzalez. Mayor asked what the council would like staff to bring to council at the next meeting to allow council to tack action. Brainard is concerned with the outcome, and has an obligation to protect the residents. Gonzalez is supporting the postponement because it gives staff some time to talk with the developer about the options available to help reduce the impacts on Summercrest Road. Councilmember Fought stated that the question of connectivity is the main issue. He would like for staff to take these two weeks to provide a general consensus from staff and the developer about what solution would be available. Our job is not to build roads; our job is to build a community. Morgan would like to make sure the problem is defined. He summarized details about what council would like to hear from staff in two weeks. Mayor suggests that staff take two weeks to have conversation with the developer and come up with a plan. The plan will be brought back to council and the second reading will be heard again.
