RECOMMENDATION CITIZEN PARTICIPATION BACKGROUND 1 Ordinance Resolution Approval Information Report Cy Camey Land Use Plan amendment in the River Mountain Planning District from Single Family and Low Density Residential to Mixed Office Commercial, Office, Multi -Family and Park/Open Space. Planning Staff recommends approval. Planning Commission meeting on March 18, 1999 (11-0-0 in favor). Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: Walton Heights-Candlewood N.A., Pleasant Valley Neighborhood Association, Pankey Community Improvement, Pleasant Forest N.A., Westbury N.A., Westchester -Heatherbrae N.A., Secluded Hills P.O.A., and Piedmont Neighborhood Association. Staff received one comment from an area resident of a neutral nature. Prompted by this Land Use Amendment request, the Planning Staff expanded the area of review to include two additional areas. The first area is to the east along Cantrell Road. This section of LDR would be surrounded by Office and Public Institutional. It is thought the extension of the Office to the south would be a transition to the PI and that a small parcel of LDR surrounded by Commercial, Office and Public Institutional would not be desirable. The second area that was expanded was to the north of the site from Single Family to Park/Open Space. This area is on the south slope of the Walton BACKGROUND Heights subdivision. This additional area would join the CONTINUED PK/OS areas in the application with other PK/OS areas that continue to the east to I-430. This area would be contiguous to the River Mountain Park. This section of Cantrell has seen major development in the last several years. Cantrell, west of I-430, is primarily Transition, with Multi -Fancily and some scattered Commercial. Of the existing Commercial areas, there is an existing inventory of vacant developable in the area, namely next to this site at the Candlewood Station. The River Mountain Neighborhood Plan was completed in March 1998. The Land Use Plan was reviewed and no changes were made to it. In the neighborhood plan, one of the objectives listed in the Sustainable Natural Environment section was to "Preserve and maintain existing greenways and open space in the neighborhood" and " Encourage and support the conservation of significant landscapes, views and vistas". In the Parks and Recreation section, one of the objectives was to "Provide passive park facilities in and near the neighborhood". In the Residential Development section, one objective was to `Develop Neo -Traditional Neighborhoods in the areas that have not yet been developed. The existing zoning and land use patterns would allow for the development of the site in conformance with the neighborhood plan. The original application property is currently zoned R-2, MF -6 and OS and is approximately 41.3 acres in size. The expanded area is zoned R2 and is approximately 8 acres. To the north of the site is Walton Heights which lies along the ridgeline which is zoned R-2 and Single Family. Kroger's and Candlewood Station, a commercial shopping are lies to the west (C-3 and Commercial on the Land Use Plan). Located south of Cantrell Road and west of Black Road are mini -warehouses and a liquor store zoned C-3 and R-2 respectively. East of Black Road is a plant nursery building and single family houses, all zoned R-2 and shown on the plan as Single Family. ORDINANCE NO.
