PROPOSED USES: Apartment/Commercial
A. Site History
This site was originally submitted as a part of the
residential plat by the same name, which was approved
by the Commission. At the public hearing, the
Commissioners felt that it would be better to delete
this portion from consideration since the approval
would encompass a commitment to single family only.
The residential portion approved is located to the west
of the site.
B. Existinq Conditions
This property is located in an area which can generally
be described as rural in character, and consisting of
residential uses. Elevations on the site range from
282' to 300'. The land currently has no existing
structures, consisting of only trees and vegetation.
Bordering the site on the east is a minor arterial and
on the south is a collector street.
C. Development Proposal
This is a proposal to develop 12.58 acres into 13 lots,
three to be utilized as commercial apd the remaining 10
as multifamily with a density of 24 units per acre.

Item No. 1 - Continued
The project will be phased as follows: Phase I -
Lots 3-8, Phase II - Lots 1, 2, 9 and 10 and Phase III
- Lots A-C. 680' of new street will be provided.
Internal access will be provided by a cul-de-sac with a
length of approximately 6001. The developer plans to
dedicate 15' on Chicot Road or 40' for the ultimate 80'
right-of-way. The developer will construct one-half
width of a 48' curb and gutter street.
D. Engineering Considerations
1. Dedicate right-of-way and improve Chicot Road to
minor arterial standards.
2. Construct Castle Valley Road to collector
standards.
E. Analysis
There is a question relative to sewer availability for
the proposed plan. Wastewater reports that sanitary
sewer capacity for this area is limited to "R-2" Single
Family development. Southwestern Bell also requests
easements. 11C-2" usually requires a minimum site area
of five acres, except in those instances where there is
a subdivision site plan and plat proposing peripheral
lots and multiple ownership is approved by the
Commission. This plan meets that exception if
approved.
Staff's basic feeling is that this submission is
premature due to a pending reozning action on the
multifamily part and since sewer is not available.
Also, we feel that it is necessary at this time that
the applicant present a site specific proposal for the
area or maybe a "PUD." This would be compatible with
the "C-2" requirement that the Planning Commission
establish the size, orientation and access to multiple
lot developments in this district with special emphasis
on interior circulation, curb cuts and siting of
physical improvements. The usual buffer/fence
requirement will apply adjacent to any area zoned or
developed as residential.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff reserves comment until additional info is obtained.
