Lots 1 and 2 are located immediately south of the subject property and have been developed. Lot 1 contains a carwash and Lot 2 contains a strip center. The applicant is proposing to continue developing the Chenal/Kanis Subdivision by proposing a preliminary plat for Lots 3-6, Chenal/Kanis Addition. The subdivision will be completed in one (1) phase. The property is zoned C-3. The proposed site is undeveloped and wooded. There is existing cross access from Lots 1 and 2 from the south which will serve the proposed development to the north. Existing utility easements run in an east/west direction between the existing development and the proposed site and north/south through Lot 3. Office and commercial uses and zoning border the site in all directions. The proposed site, Lots 3 and 4, lie within the Chenal/Financial Center Overlay District. The applicant proposes to subdivide the overall 7.932 acres into four (4) lots as follows: Lot 3 – 1.355 acres Lot 4 – 1.201 acres Lot 5 – 2.464 acres Lot 6 – 2.912 acres Section 31-210(e) of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance requires that driveways along this section of Chenal Parkway be set back at least one-hundred fifty feet (150) from side property lines. The applicant is proposing a shared driveway between the proposed Lots 3 and 4. The driveway will be a right in/right out drive, and will be located approximately one-hundred thirty (130) feet back from the north side property line of Lot 4 and approximately one-hundred fifty (150) feet from the south side property line of Lot 3. Staff supports the requested driveway setback variance, as it is very minor in nature. The applicant is also requesting a variance from the Land Alteration Requirements in order to advance grade the property when the infrastructure is developed. Staff supports the variance to advance grade the site, as it is currently zoned C-3 and ready to be developed. Staff is supportive of the requested preliminary plat for the continuation of the Chenal/Kanis Addition. Staff views the request as reasonable. Staff also supports the requested variances. The proposed lots will not be out of character in size with other commercially zoned lots in this immediate area. Staff feels the proposed four (4) lots of this development will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested preliminary plat, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D and E, and the staff analysis, of the agenda staff report.
