AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: June 11, 2007
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for Rezoning for Highland Cassidy, LLC (Waterfront Estates)
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning Commission and Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning of the subject property from County A (Agriculture) to City RE-1 (Estate Residential).
Analysis:
The project site is approximately 144 acres. The property is generally situated south of Orchard Drive, west of US 27/CR 25, east of Turnpike, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County A (Agriculture) and PUD (Planned Unit Development). Currently, the property has the eastern portion under development for single family residential and the western portion is undeveloped. The proposed use of the site is for residential development. The surrounding zoning designations are County A (Agriculture) to the east, south, and west, and County A (Agriculture) and County PUD (Planned Unit Development) to the north.
The proposed zoning district of City RE-1 (Estate Residential) is compatible with adjacent and nearby properties in the area and with the proposed City future land use designation of City Estate Residential. However, the Annexation Agreement requires rezoning to a Planned Development District by the developer prior to development.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are undeveloped properties and single family residential uses.
Development of the parcel shall require expansion of City utilities at the owner’s expense.
By a vote of 6 to 0, the Planning Commission recommended approval
Options:
1. Approve the proposed rezoning to City RE-1 (Estate Residential), thereby allowing consistent zoning and development standards for the area.
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the City.
