PZ 99-45 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF ERNEST HEDGECOTH FOR GLENVIEW BIBLE CHAPEL FOR A ZONING CHANGE ON TRACTS 1A & 1 B, A-321 FROM AG-AGRICUL TURAL AND LR-LOCAL RETAIL TO U- INSTITUTIONAL. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE 7200 BLOCK OF DAVIS BLVD. APPROVED Mr. Ernest Hedgecoth has submitted a zone change request to rezone a total 1.478 acres from Agricultural and Local Retail to U-Institutional for development of a church. Churches are allowed as a matter of right in any zoning district. This request is in conjunction with a request to plat the tracts of land into Lot 1, Block 1, Christian Addition. The property is currently undeveloped. Staff recommends approval of PZ 99-45. Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing and asked for proponents. Mr. Ernest Hedgecoth presented the request for Glenview Bible Chapel, explaining that until recently this congregation had been meeting in a home; however, they have outgrown the home church and are seeking a location for a permanent facility. Seeing no additional proponents, Chairman Bowen called for any opponents. Mr. John Kline, 8320 Elm, stated he was not opposed to a church being located next to his property; however, his property is approximately 20' lower than the church property and is concerned about the runoff he would receive. Mr. Kline was informed that the drainage was a platting issue and would be dealt with at that time. Seeing no additional opponents, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Nehring, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to approve PZ 99-45. The motion carried unanimously. P & Z Minutes February 24, 2000 6 8. PZ 2000-02 CONSIDER SITE PLAN REVIEW OF TRACT A 1, BLOCK 29, HOLIDAY NORTH ADDITION, SECTION 6 AND ZONED C2-COMMERCIAL. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH RICHLAND BLVD. & DAVIS BLVD. AT 5701 DAVIS BLVD. APPROVED Randy Short of Executive Petroleum submitted a site plan review for consideration of a convenience store on proposed replat of Lot AR-1, Block 29, Holiday North Addition, Section 6. The proposed convenience store will be located on a lot containing 1.09 acres. The proposed building will contain 3,500 square feet. The site plan shows 17 off-street parking spaces are being provided and 17 spaces are required. Convenience stores are allowed as a permitted use in the C-2 District; however, when it is located within 200 feet of a residential use it is required to have the site plan approved by City Council following a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The landscape plan shows approximately 35% of the total lot is devoted to landscaping and 15% is required. The large percentage is due to the 50' drainage and utility easement at the rear of the property. The proposed driveways have been reviewed and located per the Public Work's Design Manual. The applicant is proposing a single monument sign that is in accordance with the Sign Regulations. Staff recommends approval of PZ 2000-02, with a contingency. It has been determined that during the platting process the applicant will be required to dedicate two-feet of right-of-way, which will shift the proposed development to the south on the site plan. Ms. Ratcliff explained that the additional ROW is needed on North Richland Blvd., as required by the Thoroughfare Plan. Mr. Davis asked the width of the ROW currently and Ms. Ratcliff stated it was 56'; 60' is required. She is unaware of any plans to widen North Richland Blvd; however, the 60' would be in accordance with the Thoroughfare Plan. Mr. Davis stated he would prefer to see a two-foot Reserve for future right-of- way, if required. This would avoid altering their landscape buffers and setbacks. Mr. Joel Wilkerson, Executive Petroleum, presented this request explaining that the building would consist of split faced white block. The monument sign will be in white block as well as the brick around the pole signs. A 6' white screening wall will screen the houses from the commercial use. Because of the 50' P & Z Minutes February 24, 2000 7 drainage easement, 35% of the lot will be landscaped and this will also act as screening to the existing residential neighborhood. The applicant believes a balance for the need for lighting and neighborhood concerns has been established by putting all the lighting in the front under canopies. Additionally the 10' lights at the corners of the building and one in the rear are directional and focused to the ground. Additionally, the applicant has no problem with the two-foot reservation of ROW. Ms. Ratcliff stated that prior to going to City Council, the data chart would be updated to reflect the correct numbers. Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Laubacher, moved to approve PZ 200-02, provided the tables are data charts are updated with correct numbers and that for future reference on platting, a two-foot Reservation for ROW on North Richland Blvd, if required, would be allowed. The motion carried unanimously. P & Z Minutes February 24, 2000 8 8.
