Item Number:          5.E

 

Meeting Date:           February 11, 2013

 

From:                          Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director

 

Subject:                      Ordinance amending the PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning for the Salvation Army, A Georgia Corporation, to extend the development phasing requirement for an additional 36 months (Salvation Army Worship and Community Center).

 

 

 


Staff Recommendation: 

The Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed amended to Section 13. DEVELOPMENT PHASING B. extending the development phasing requirement for an additional 36 months for the PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning for the subject property.

 

Analysis:

The project site is approximately 10 acres. The property is generally located south of South Street and west of Caballo Road as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is City PUD (Planned Unit Development).  The current use of the property is undeveloped and the proposed use is for the Salvation Army Worship and Community Center development. The surrounding zoning designations are County MP (Planned Industrial District), and City M-1 (Industrial) to the north; County A (Agriculture) to the south; City SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development) to the east and City R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to the west. The surrounding Future Land Use Map designations are City General Commercial and all adjacent properties with future land use designations of County Urban and City Industrial to the north; Industrial to the south; General Commercial to the east and High Density to the west.

 

The proposed amended PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning is compatible with the adjacent and nearby properties in the area and with the existing future land use designation of City General Commercial.

 

The existing land uses surrounding the property are undeveloped, retail and mini-storage units and single family residential.

 

Development of the property requires City utilities.

 

By a vote of 7 to 0 on January 17, 2013, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval.

 

Options:        

1.            Approve the proposed amended PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning thereby extending the development phasing requirement for an additional 36 months.

   2.      Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.

 

 

Fiscal Impact:

There is a positive fiscal impact to the City through the further development of this property.

A.       Utilities

           1)      Projected Capacities

                     a.        The City’s utility planning efforts draw upon phasing, capacity and service requirements, based upon information provided by the applicant.  The City develops its plans consistent with sound engineering principles, prudent fiscal practices and due regard for regulatory compliance.

                     b.        If development on this site is cause for off-site improvements for water and wastewater, the developer will bear the cost of design, permitting and construction of any such improvements.  The developer shall receive no impact fee credits for any such required off-site improvements.  The developer and the City may enter into a pioneering agreement with the developer, if appropriate.

 

c.        The City is in the process of Consumptive Use Permit renewal.  The application provides for anticipated demands due to this and other potential development      

          

B.       Commitment of Capacity

           There are no previous commitments of any existing or planned excess capacity.

 

C.        Ability to Provide Services

           1)       The City intends to provide water, wastewater and reclaimed water services within its service area for the foreseeable future.

           2)       The City updates its Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as part of our annual budgetary process.  Included within the CIP are water, wastewater, and reclaimed water improvements necessary to provide service to proposed development.

           3)       The City has completed an impact fee study, based in part on the CIP in order to assure adequate and appropriate funding for required improvements. The combination of master planning and CIP planning has allowed the City to issue bonds to fund new potable water facilities and substantial reuse facilities, among other infrastructure improvements.
