HomeMy WebLinkAbout1776-Z DATE: May 23, 2005 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for a zone change from A-R (Agricultural-Residential), RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) and RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) or more restrictive district (Tract One), from A-R (Agricultural-Residential), RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) and RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) to GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District or more restrictive district (Tract Two) and from A-R (Agricultural-Residential) to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District (Tract Three) FILE: 1776-Z STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request. Bryan H. Lee, the applicant, is requesting the rezoning of 19.301 acres of land currently owned by the YMCA in the 3600 Block of Dowlen Road. The request includes 11.776 acres of GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District, 2.839 acres of GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District and 4.686 acres of RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District. The RS and GC-MD-2 zoning would abut Barrington Heights. Mr. Lee has been working with an architect to develop a concept plan for the property (see attachment). This plan calls for 78,874 sq. ft. of commercial uses. The bulk of the commercial would be located in the northeast part of the property. Two commercial pad sites, facing Dowlen, would be made available for sale. In the southeast corner of the property, three 3,000 sq. ft. one story office buildings would be built. The residential portion of the plan would consist of townhomes and single family residential. The 1 - 1 2 story townhomes that abut Barrington Heights would be oriented in an east-west direction to lessen the impact on the backyards of houses in Barrington Heights. The single family portion is expected to be a gated community. In the GC-MD-2 portion of the subject property, specific use permits would be required before any development could occur.
