<br />Zone Change #R 03-005 <br />P & Z JWle 19,2003 <br />Page 3 on <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br /> <br />tt <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />TranslPortation - The tract gains access using McCabe Road, a minor <br />arteriall with 100' ROW, which provides access to the State Highway 146. <br />However, an additional entrance/exit off State Highway 146 is suggested to <br />improve circulation. These roadways should be able to easily accommodate <br />any traffic generated by new development. The overall impact on the traffic <br />should be minimal. <br /> <br />Utilities - The infrastructure was not analyzed in detail to ensure that <br />sufficient capacity exists. This analysis will occur when subdivision plats <br />are submitted. In addition, the developer must provide any structures or <br />improvements necessary to serve future development. <br /> <br />Drain:llge - This property lies within the Taylor Bayou Watershed. There <br />are not sufficient channel improvements to directly receive storm water <br />runoff from this project. Storm water drainage and detention is also an issue <br />that will be carefully reviewed as a project develops. Staff recommends on- <br />site detention for any proposed development. <br /> <br />Multi-family Regulation - Recently the Commission and City Council <br />adopted new multi-family development regulations. The regulations <br />established new requirements for open space/recreation and amenities, <br />mainte:nance, spacing requirements of multi-family developments for each <br />other, 180 unit .maximum, 14 units per acre density, and ingress/egress, <br />When development in the PUD district occurs, the Commission is allowed <br />to follow the regulations of the district the development could be built; <br />however, the PUD allows for some flexibility and creativity. <br /> <br />Based on the items discussed above, the request satisfies the criteria <br />established for Planned Unit Development zoning district. At this time, Staff <br />recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve this rezone <br />request, as it represents the highest and best use of the property. <br />Furthermore, the request supports the goals and objectives of the <br />Compmhensive Plan. <br /> <br />Actions available to the Commission are as follows: <br /> <br />. recommend approval of the zone change as requested, <br />. recommend denial of the zone change as requested, and <br />. recommend approval ofa modified version of the zone change. <br />
