REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Requested By: Nick Finan Appropriation Agenda Date Requested: April 26. 2004 Budgeted Items: N/A N/A N/A N/A YES NO Source of Funds: Department: Plannin2 Account Number: Report: x Resolution: Ordinance: X Amount Budgeted: Exhibits: Ordinance Staff Report to P&Z Area Map Zoning Map General Plan Site Plan Amount Requested: SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission, during its March 29,2004, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen comments regarding Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU04-003. 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 multi-family residential development consisting of 28.43 acres to be known as the Preserve at Taylor Bayou, which is to be built in two phases. The property is located at the southeast corner of SH 146 and McCabe Road. Originally, the General Plan demonstrated that 77.5 acres out of 107 acres would need to be preserved in perpetuity as a Conservation Easement based on a permit the applicant received from the US Army Corps of Engineers. The remaining developable acreage showed 28.5 acres proposed as high-density residential in the PUD zone. 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. In addition, the applicant has failed to comply with several of the requests from previous P&Z meetings. Most notably, Corp's approval of sewer line and lift station, finance letter, and commitment letter on the Preserve. Recently the Commission and City Council adopted new multi-family development regulations. The regulations established a 180-units maximum limit with a density of 14 units/acre. Based on the area calculations, the density here comes out to be 14.70 units/acre with the number of units proposed for phases I and 2 as 198 and 220 respectively. Therefore, the total is 418 units, exceeding the amount allowed by the ordinance The Planning and Zoning Commission, by 4-1 vote; (4 in favor, I opposed, and the chair abstained) recommended disapproval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU04-003. City Council may overrule the Commission's recommendation and approve the Special Conditional Use Permit request. This would be voting in favor of the proposed ordinance and requires a minimum of seven affirmative votes (3/4 rule). Action Reauired bv Council: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Consider taking action on recommendation for denial by P&Z for 28.43 acres ofland located at the southeast corner of McCabe Road and SH. 146. The applicant, Mr. Robert Burchfield, seeks SCUP for multi-family development in PUD zone. {L Debra B. FeazeUe, City Man ~~2J~ J~ Date
