m!UEST FOR CITY COUNCIL aENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: April 25. 2005 Requested By: Wayne J.~ / Department: Planninl! Appropriation Source of Funds: N/A Account Number: N/A Report: _Resolution: _Ordinance: ~ Amount Budgeted: N/A Exhibits: Ordinance Staff Report to P&Z Area Map General Plan Amount Requested: Budgeted Items: N/A YES NO SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission, during its March 17,2005, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen comments regarding Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU05-004. The request, submitted by Mr. Robert Burchfield, seeks approval of a General Plan and a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP). The General Plan is for the entire :1:107 acre tract and the SCUP is for single-family residential, multi-family, town home, and commercial/flex development consisting of 31.96 acres to be known as the Preserve at Taylor Bayou. The property is located at the southeast comer of the State Highway 146 in the 1200 block of McCabe Road. Several years ago, the Commission and Council approved a General Plan and SCUP for this location. A I-year extension was granted in year 200 I, however, no construction occurred and the permit expired in 2002. Later, the applicant submitted an application for SCUP and General Plan, which was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission at their April 17,2003 meeting. The General Plan demonstrated that 75.16 acres out of 107 acres would be preserved in perpetuity as a Conservation Easement based on a permit received from the US Army Corps of Engineers. The remaining developable acreage showed 28.5 acres proposed as high-density residential with 400+ units in the PUD zone. Since the ordinance allows a maximum cap of 180 units, the Commission and City Council disapproved it. Subsequently, the developer submitted a General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU04- 013 for 180 multi-family units and 150 town homes on 28.43 acres. City Council, at the October 11,2004, meeting approved the General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit. This is a new proposal which includes single-family residential (20 lots), single-family patio homes (76 lots), town homes (12 units), multi-family (180 apartment units) and flex bldgs. (4 commercial/residential) on approx. 32 acres as a master planned community. Corresponding densities meet the minimum requirement of the ordinances, although a PUD Zone, by design, allows variances and flexibility to the overall design. There will be two common access drives along McCabe Road serving the complex, commercial tract, and nature preserve. On-site parking is also provided for the visitors of the nature preserve. Water is readily available to the property. However, it is anticipated that sanitary sewer for proposed development will be hooked up to a new 24" trunk main going north to the adjacent proposed development of "Lakes at Fairmont Greens". In addition, coordination and contribution shall be required for the system upgrade to handle both developments with each developer being expected to share the prorated cost of construction. The Planning and Zoning Commission has voted unanimously that City Council consider approval ofa General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU05-004 with the conditions listed in the SCUP. Action Required bv Council: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Consider taking action on recommendation for approval by P&Z for :I: 107 acres of land located at the southeast comer of McCabe Road and SH 146. The applicant, Mr. Robert Burchfield, seeks approval of General Plan and SCUP for single-family, multi-family, town homes, and commercial/flex buildings in PUD zone. A~3".i1Ai; ~ Debra B.
