City Council, at their April 25, 2005 meeting, approved the General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU05-004. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at the September 15, 2005 meeting, considered the preliminary plat for proposed development consisting of 32 acres, and approved it with conditions. The plan had some deviations from the approved general plan mentioned above. The preliminary plat shows the following: • Single-Family detached - 341ots, 7.08 acres (4.8 du/a allowed) • Single-Family small Lot - 441ots, 7.34 acres (61ots/acre allowed) • Townhouses - 8 units, 0.80 acre (10 units/acre allowed) • Multi-Family -180 units, 12.86 acres (14 units/acre allowed) • Commercial -1.29 acre (zoned Neighborhood Commercial The Preliminary Plat had approximately 32 acres of proposed development. As this General Plan for 28+ acres is being requested as an amendment, the entire project is open for reconsideration. The changes to the above plan are as follows: • Single-Family detached -141ots, 4.879 acres (4.8 du/a allowed) • Small Single-Family (Patio Homes) - 441ots, 9.8 acres (6 du/a allowed) • Townhomes - 8 units, 0.80 acre (10 units/acre allowed) • Multi-Family -180 units, 12.905 acres (14 units/acre allowed) • Commercial/Retail -1.344 acres (zoned Neighborhood Commercial) • Nature Preserve - 74.80 ac. (provided), 78.652 ac. (required by ACOE) Since the project has deviations from an earlier approved general plan, it requires an amended General Plan (for the entire proposed development) and a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) be submitted and processed simultaneously. Upon approval of the amended General Plan and SCUP by City Council, the applicant would be authorized to proceed with the platting and development plans for the development site.
