The project is located at the northwest corner of Underwood Road and Fainnont Parkway just southof Caniff Road. At City Council's October 22, 2001 meeting, the proposed development was rezoned from the Neighborhood Conunercial (NC) to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning dis1rlct. Development within a PUD zone requires the approval of a General Plan along with a Special Conditional Use Pennit (SCUP). In November 2001, the applicant submitted a General Plan for a four-phased project to build an office park with a small retail/shopping area. The applicant also submitted an application for a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) for Phase I of the development This phase consists of 2.8 acres with a parking lot, a two-story office building (32,006 sq. ft.), and detention pond ft.... - 1!>,000 sq. ft). The applicant also developed a list of proposed uses for Phase I. Alor6 o During review of this proposal, staff considered compatibility of uses and conditions. To ensure compatibility with surrounding uses, Phase I is limited to general office building uses and other office activities - no warehousing, storage, installation, gambling, etc. Document I lists these permitted uses. At the November 29, 2001 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission approved the General Plan. During the same meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to receive testimony regarding the Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) request Twenty-one notices of public hearing were mailed to neighboring property owners; however, no responses were received.
