<br />" <br /> <br />e <br />Bayou Forest Apts. - General Plan, Phase I <br />6/19/97 - P&Z Meeting <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />· On April 21, 1994, the Planning & Zoning Commission was <br />again asked to look at this tract. The property owners had re- <br />evaluated their development options and felt the rezoning of a <br />portion of the R-l property (i.e. 17 acres) to P.UD. and the <br />land use change to" Mid to High Density Residential" opens <br />the possibility of placing higher density housing or apartments. <br /> <br />The Commission recommended approval to City Council of <br />Rezone Request #R94-00 1. The request asked for the rezoning <br />of a 17 acre tract out of the original 107.35 acres. Request <br />#R94-001 asked that a 17 acre tract be rezoned from R-l to <br />P.U.D. The overall tract would be composed of 83.59 acres <br />zoned R-l and 6.7526 acres zoned NC and the new 17 acre <br />tract zoned P.U.D. <br /> <br />· In the May 23, 1994 meeting City Council passed and <br />approved Ordinance 1501-R which authorized the P.D.D. <br />zoning of the new 17 acre tract. Exhibit C provides the metes <br />arid bounds description of the tract in questionwhileExhibit D <br />shows the actual footprint of the property. " . <br /> <br />Analvsis: <br /> <br />A comparison of the P. UD. tract approved in 1994 and the general <br />plan submitted at this time shows that the proposed apartments are <br />not located totally within the P.D,D. property. The proposed site is <br />actually composed ofa portion ofNC and P.D.D. property. In <br />considering this request staff reviewed the intent and goals of the <br />Comprehensive Plan as they apply to this portion of the City. The <br />Bayou Forest Apartments General Plan being considered at <br />this time is only 10.54 acres out of the original 17 acre P.U.D. <br />tract and NC tract. To ensure proper planning the entire 17 acre <br />P.UD. tract should be considered at the same time. <br /> <br />The Development Ordinance defines a General Plan as "a map or <br />plat designated to illustrate the general design features of a <br />proposed development which is to be platted and developed in <br />phases.., ,," The intent of the ordinance is that a General Plan be <br />used as a guide when reviewing plats of subdivision sections. <br />Once this General Plan has been reviewed and approved, the <br />developers will then come to the Commission with plats of the <br />individual subdivision sections. Each of these plats will be <br />
