The property is located at the southeast comer of the State Highway 146 in the 1200 block of McCabe Road, A detailed analysis of this project as originally presented was provided to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Several years ago, the Commission and Council approved a General Plan and SCUP for this location. A I-year extension was granted in year 2001, 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 77.5 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. Recently, the Commission and City Council adopted new multi-family development regulations. The regulations established a 180-unit maximum limit with a density of 14 units/acre. P&Z recommended denial of SCU #04-003 based upon issues including excessive density of 418 units and lack of information concerning the Nature Preserve and financing. City Council also denied the request on April 26, 2004, This is a new proposal, which includes 180 apartment units and 150 townhomes on 28.43 acres. One lot is reserved for private park on 2.25 acres and 1 lot dedicated as Nature Preserve on 75.16 acres, The apartment density is 13.85 units per acre (allowed is 14 dula). The townhome density is 9,72 units per acre (allowed is 10 dula) , Corresponding densities now meet the minimum requirement of the ordinances, although a PUD, by design, allows variances and flexibility, After a public hearing on August 19, 2004 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission made recommendations during the next regular meeting on September 16, 2004. P&Z has voted unanimously that City Council consider approval of a General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 04-013 with the conditions listed in the SCUP (See attached). Action Required bv Council: 1. Conduct public hearing, 2, Consider taking action on recommendation for approval by P&Z for:t 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 180 multi-family units and 150 town home units development in PUD zone. A~~~;k~ Debra B.
