Business Park Zoning District
• Oct 27, 2009 — New zoning, lot and design
standards for all zoning districts
— Review site design standards to make district
more useable
— Business Park (BP): 20 acre minimum district
size
— This standard has acted as a barrier to the kind
of "usability" of the district that was envisioned
when the standard was adopted.
Business Park Zoning District
• Applicant request to amend the minimum district
size to provide opportunity to build business park
projects on smaller lots
• Proposed amendment will allow other properties
to be designated BP where appropriate:
— Major thoroughfares such as Inner Loop and
Westinghouse Rd
— Existing industrial/business parks
— Adjacent to commercial nodes

Motion by Gonzalez, second by Hesser, to approve Item P
Councilmember Jonrowe asked about the 150 units and what upper limit number might be allowed. Davila
said there would be a total of 1300 units in the development, but of varying structures and housing types.
Jonrowe asked if all 1300 units could be built this way. Davila said there is only one section in the
development that can be built as courtyard homes. Jonrowe asked if other sections could be built this way.
Davila said different types of housing are proposed for various sections of the development. Councilmember
Gonzalez said only lots that are conducive to the courtyard structure would be built this way and not all of the
lots in the development would allow this type of structure.
Jonrowe asked if the PUD agreement requires a breakdown of the different types of housing or if it is left up
to the developer. Davila said, currently, the PUD language does not contain this distinction, however, it could
be included in the amendment with City Council direction. Mayor Ross noted that the decision point was
actually whether to allow 6 foot walls in the front yard, and 4 foot walls are already allowed.
Approved: 5-1 (Nicholson absent, Jonrowe opposed)
