FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the rezoning request on February 9, 2021 and recommended approval: Approval of a Rezoning Related to a Change from A-1 (Agricultural District) to R-2 (One and Two Family Residential) and R-2 (One and Two Family Residential)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay) Senior City Planner, Andy Kass, introduced the request for approval of a rezoning for a single family residential subdivision as submitted by the applicant, Element 119. The subject property is generally located south of NW Meredith Drive and west of N. Warrior Lane, containing approximately 56.95 acres. The applicant has submitted consent from 56.99 % of property owners. Notification was sent to adjacent property owners February 1st, 2021 and signs regarding the rezoning were posted on the property February 2nd, 2021. To date staff has not had any correspondence for or against the rezoning. Mr. Kass explained that the submitted concept plan identified 148 single family lots built over the course of three phases. 62 of these lots would be zoned R-2, while the remaining 86 lots would have a zoning of R-2/PD-1, allowing for alterations to the lot sizing and set back requirements. The request would create a minimum 7,000 square foot lot with reduced lot widths and side yard setbacks within the planned development area. Concessions regarding elevations, size and landscaping for these lots. A number of public street extensions would occur as part of the development and a 10 foot wide trail will be required along the south side of NW Hillside Boulevard. Public utilities will serve the development and Stormwater detention is anticipated in Outlots W, X, and Y. Outlot Z has been identified as parkland dedication. Mr. Kass addressed the grey area in the center of the map, explaining that the applicant was not looking to purchase that land at this time as this is a possible school location in the future. In the event that the school does not located here, there are additional plans for filling in the area with additional single family development. At this time staff would recommend approval of the rezoning.  Commissioner Koshy questioned if the circles at the top of the map were anticipated cul- de-sacs. Mr. Kass advised that the identified circles were required temporary turnarounds for emergency vehicles and snow plows.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the Boulevard would be divided. Mr. Kass advised that the boulevard designation was not going to be divided.  Commissioner Streit questioned if the proposed planned development was similar to other requests in the past. Mr. Kass advised that these lots were larger than more recent requests and more in line with early requests for smaller lot development in the Spring Crest and Stratford developments. Commissioner Broderick moved to approve the rezoning related to a change from A-1 (Agricultural District) to R-2 (One and Two Family Residential) and R-2 (One and Two Family Residential)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay). Commissioner Streit seconded the motion. Ayes: Streit, Koshy, Broderick, Ward, and Hoifeldt. Nays: None. Motion Carries.
