Body
BACKGROUND:
This is a request for an amendment to Planned Development No. 63 (PD-63) to change the zoning of a 3.4 acre tract from the (SF-12/20) Single-Family Residential District to the (SF-TH) Single-Family Townhouse Residential District with modified standards to allow a proposed townhouse development.
A companion request for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation on this 3.4-acre site from single-family residential detached uses to single-family residential attached uses is also on this agenda (Case No. 03-15MD1 McCoy Villas Comprehensive Plan Amendment).
On April 7, 2015, the City Council continued the case to the May 5, 2015 meeting to allow the applicant time to address Council's concerns. The Council expressed concerns to the front entry garages, utility box locations and the lack of colored building elevations for Council to review.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
On March 5, 2015, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended APPROVAL with stipulations. The attached ordinance reflects the recommendation of the Commission. Because the vote of the Commission was not unanimous and opposition was expressed by some of the adjoining neighbors, this item is being placed on the Public Hearing - Individual Consideration portion of the agenda.
