SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 8 Cont. FILE NO.: LU05-18-03
The six to seven acres to the west of the site is a POD for an assisted living center with
a small office building. This POD has expired (approved in 1990 with no action to date).
The previous zoning was a PCD approved in 1986, thus it too is not valid. The zoning
prior to that was 3 acres of `C--3' along Kanis Road with 4 acres of 'O-3' to the north. No
matter what is developed on this property a zoning action will be required.
Bowman Road from Chenal Parkway to Kanis Road is a commercial street. This
development would complete that use pattern. The massing is less south of Kanis. The
use mix is also less retail in nature. This development area would be oriented toward
both Bowman and Kanis Roads. A retail use would be consistant and compatible,
however the massing and scale of the development should be reduced from that to the
north and east. Even though the use would not transition from the retail uses to single-
family, further to the west and south, the massing and scale should begin the transition.
Smaller and various profiles and massing should be used along with increased
landscaping to soften the impacts on Kanis and future developments to the west and
south.
