HomeMy WebLinkAboutZ-4621 Staff AnalysisApril 22, 1986 Item No. A - Z-4621 Owner: Applicant: Location: Request: Purpose: Size: Existing Use: William Terry Larry Terry Baseline Road at Otter Creek Rezone from "R-2" to "AF" Sod Farm 10.65 acres Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" East - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" West - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposal is to rezone the tract of land to"AF" Agriculture and Forestry for a sod farm. The Zoning Ordinance states that the "AF" zone provides "a usable zoning definition and to provide for certain compatible land uses during the interim period between annexation and final determination of proper zoning districts." Based on this provision and the property's location, staff feels that the request is appropriate and supports the rezoning. The Otter Creek District Plan identifies the area for Single Family use and shows a large floodway between I-430 and Stagecoach Road. This site has some floodway involvement, approximately the west 1/2, so by Board of Directors policy that area will have to be dedicated to the City. Engineering will address this issue at the time of the hearing, but has indicated that a sod farm ineets the requirements for an activity located in the floodplain and floodway. Also, the owner should contact the Corps of Engineers regarding the approval of a wetlands permit. The Traffic Engineer requests that the access point be shown and the description of the road and its condition be discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. April 22, 1986 Item No. A - Continued One final item is the Master Parks Plan which shows the general area as a proposed lake. The exact status of this concept is unknown at this time and will be clarified by the public hearing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the "AF" rezoning with the floodway portion being dedicated to the City. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (3-25-86) The applicant was not present. Staff informed the Commission that all the necessary notification materials had not been submitted. A motion was made to defer the request to the April 22, 1986, meeting.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (4-22-86) Staff informed the Commission that the owner had requested that the item be withdrawn from consideration.
