TO REZONE TWO TRACTS OF LAND FROM C-1 COMMERCIAL TO R-3 RESIDENTIAL (LOCATED AT 7821 AND 7901 DAVIS BOULEVARD) - ORDINANCE NO. 2616 PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AND ORDINANCE TABLED TO APRIL 22, 2002 Mr. Bryan Klein, a partner with the Hoover/Klein Group, Inc., was representing PPC David Property Limited. Mr. Klein informed Council he was facilitating the application for PPC David Property Limited. Mr. Klein explained that the application before Council is for a portion of the property, stating that when the property was acquired the initial thought was to develop it for commercial zoning, which it is presently zoned. After discussion it was found that the property was too deep off of Davis Boulevard to be fully developed. Mr. Klein advised Council the next option would be to include an additional row of homes to the east of Ember Oaks Subdivision. Mr. Klein advised Council the lots would be the same as the Ember Oaks Subdivision and would conform to the same zoning. Mr. Klein reviewed the uses likely used for the remainder of the property (corner of Davis/Bursey both northeast and southwest corners), The possible uses included office, commercial, strip center or bank. Mr. Klein remarked that the Planning and Zoning Commission had concerns with the minimum square footage (1600 sq. ft) required in R-2 Residential zoning. Mr. Klein informed Council that the applicant and owner are prepared to commit to an 1800 square foot house. Council discussed the minimum square footage and the best way to approve request to require a minimum of 1800 square foot homes. Mr. Gary Cantrell, General Partner with PPC Property, addressed the Council and reaffirmed they were committed to 1800 square foot homes. Council expressed concerns that although applicant was committed to a minimum of 1800 square foot homes council could not add a stipulation to restrict the homes to 1800 square feet, because R-3 requires a minimum of 1600 square feet. Council was in favor of and discussed R-2 zoning that would restrict the house sizes to 1800 square feet. Mr. Cantrell advised they plan to deed restrict the house sizes to 1800 square feet. Mr. Cantrell advised that they would not want to consider R-2 zoning at this time. Attorney Staples advised that Council would be unable to enforce any restrictions tonight to 1800 square foot homes - cities do not enforce deed restrictions. Mr. Staples advised that Council had two options available to keep the lot sizes at R-3 and increase City Council Minutes April 8, 2002 Page 6 the size of the homes: 1) an R-3 PD would allow conditions to be placed on the request or 2) amend the R-3 zoning requirements. Mr. Staples advised that a planned development could be accomplished at a future Council meeting without sending it back to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. Staples advised it would be difficult to put a planned development together tonight. Mr. Klein clarified that council's only concern with the use of property for single family homes was the size of the homes to be placed on the lots. His understanding was that the Council was not concerned with setbacks, number or size of lots, etc. but with the square footage of the homes. Mr. Pitstick summarized the request and presented staff recommendations and the recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. Pitstick advised the request was a straight zoning request from C-1 to R-3 on a 5.1 acre site located near the southwest corner of Bursey Road and Davis and a 4.3 acre site located near the northwest corner of the same intersection. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request. Mr. Staples suggested that Council close the public hearing and direct staff to work with the applicant to develop property as a R-3 PD. This would require fewer deviations from the standard zoning than a R-2 application. Mr. Staples felt it could probably be done in time for the next council meeting. Mr. Pitstick agreed with the Attorney. Mr. Pitstick advised that a simple PD with a stipulation that the minimum house size would be greater than current R-3 standards could be brought to Council at their next meeting without going to back to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mayor Scoma opened the public hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of the request to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak in favor, Mayor Scoma called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to come forward. Mr. Dan Westfall, 7912 Woodland Drive, was concerned with the swell behind his home - would like to know if they plan to alter or make some other type of accommodation for the water. Mr. Jeff Dappvich, 8028 Fireside Drive, did not wish to speak but wished to enter into record that he was in favor of R-2 rather than R-3 zoning. Mr. Curtis addressed the drainage concerns of Mr. Westfall. Mr. Curtis advised that construction plans for the site have not been submitted to the City but all developments are required to follow the City's design criteria for drainage as well as other City Council Minutes April 8, 2002 Page 7 development issues. If there is an existing channel the developer will be required to meet the city's ordinances. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Scoma closed the public hearing.

LONG FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM AG AGRICULTURE TO R-1-S SPECIAL SINGLE FAMILY (LOCATED AT 9200 RUMFIELD ROAD -1.6 ACRES) ORDINANCE NO. 2617 APPROVED Mr. Mark Long, applicant, briefly summarized his request for Council. Mr. Pitstick summarized the request and presented Staff and Planning and Zoning recommendations. Mr. Pitstick advised request is for the rezoning of a 1.677-acre site from AG to R-1-S Special Single Family. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow the construction of a single-family residence. Approval of the zoning request will require recognition of a change to the Comprehensive Plan from open space and office uses to low density residential. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request. Mayor Scoma opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor or opposition to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Scoma closed the Public Hearing.
