Home My WebLink About2019-03-18-H01 The Commons at Greenway Park Rezoning_PH AGENDA ITEM: CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: March 18, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing on an ordinance to amend Chapter 301, Zoning Ordinance, City of Waukee Iowa, by rezoning certain property from A-1 to R-4 and PD- 1, a property known as The Commons at Greenway Park. FORMAT: Public Hearing SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The applicant is requesting approval of a rezoning of approximately 22 acres of property located west of the Waukee YMCA and generally located north W Hickman Road. The proposed rezoning is to allow for a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom townhome units that would include both units for sale and units for lease. The proposed rezoning includes a Planned Development Overlay which provides specific design requirements and bulk regulations based upon the development which would not otherwise be allowed to be constructed under the standard R-4 zoning district. The proposed rezoning request is generally consistent with both the existing Comprehensive Plan and new Waukee 2040 Comprehensive Plan. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request at their February 26, 2019 meeting and recommended approval: Approval of a rezoning related to a Change from A-1 (Agricultural District) to R-4 (Row Dwelling & Townhome District)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay District) [The Commons at Greenway Park] Director of Development, Brad Deets, introduced the request for a rezoning for a proposed townhome development as submitted by the applicant, Signature Development of Iowa, LLC. The subject property is generally located north of W. Hickman Road and west of N. Warrior Lane, containing approximately 22.41 acres. At this time, the required application and consent from surrounding property owners has been submitted. To date staff has not received any correspondence for or against the rezoning. A public hearing date has been set for March 18th, 2019 before the City Council. Mr. Deets advised that the subject property is identified within the proposed Waukee 2040 Comprehensive Plan as Medium Density Residential, which the requested rezoning is consistent with. The concept plan shown to staff indicates a variety of unit types within the development and a trail segment along the drainage area that would eventually connect to the trail along NE Douglas Avenue, and eventually connect to the Clive Greenbelt Trail. The proposed parkland dedication would accommodate and allow the City to preserve a natural drainage way. Other private improvements would be built and the general layout of the site is created to bring out the offered amenities. At this time staff would recommend approval of the proposed rezoning request subject to any remaining staff comments. H1  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the for sale units along NE Venture drive had garages. A representative of the applicant, Laith Herrboldt, advised that the units along Venture Drive have detached garages to allow for a small back yard space.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the homeowners would have use of the amenities of the development. Mr. Herrboldt advised they would.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned who was in charge for the extension of NE Venture Drive. Mr. Deets advised that, as the street will serve both the north and the south lots, the street would be a shared project. The extension to cover the applicant’s two accesses would be their responsibility, a further stretch of the road would be required from the developer of the lot to the south.  Commissioner Tietz questioned if the development would have street lights. A representative of the applicant, Clint Ackerman, advised there would be lights on the rented buildings and it is possible that the owner occupied sections would have street lights, the decision hasn’t been made at this time, and usually the developer does whatever is required from the municipality.  Commissioner Tietz questioned if there would be different parking requirements. Mr. Deets advised that there would be no change from the site plan ordinances related to parking. *Commissioner Broderick Recuses himself from the vote.* Commissioner Streit moved to approve the rezoning from A-1 (Agricultural District) to R-4 (Row Dwelling & Townhome District)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay District) [The Commons at Greenway Park] subject to any remaining staff comments. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Tietz. Ayes: Ward, Streit, Tietz, Hoifeldt, and Koshy. Nays: None. Motion Carries.

The applicant has provided the required application and required consent from surrounding property owners. Notice of the proposed rezoning request was provided to the adjoining property owners within 200 feet of the property. To date, staff has not received any correspondence for or against. A sign has also been placed on the property notifying the general public of the proposed meeting dates. A Public Hearing date before the City Council has been scheduled for Monday, March 18, 2019. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The owner/applicant is requesting approval of a rezoning of the property from A-1 Agricultural District to R-4 Row Dwelling and Townhome Dwelling District with a PD-1 Planned Development Overlay. The subject property is identified within the proposed Waukee 2040 Comprehensive Plan as Medium Density Residential. The proposed rezoning of the property to R-4 Row Dwelling and Townhome Dwelling District is consistent with the proposed Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Overlay District to accommodate specific design characteristics proposed within the development as depicted on the proposed Conceptual Development Plan and described within the Planned Development Narrative. The proposed development would be located north of the extension of NW Venture Drive initially with future access also being provided with a street connection directly to W. Hickman Road. February 22, 2019 3 of 4 Waukee 2040 Comprehensive Plan with subject property identified in RED The property is a part of the larger Broderick Property located to the north and west of the proposed development. Staff has been working the adjoining property on layouts for the remaining portions of the future development. It is anticipated that commercial development would be located to the south and west of the subject property with single family residential being located to the north. The applicant is proposing to develop a number of different styles and sizes of townhomes in order to create a diverse rent matrix to meet several different markets. As a part of the rezoning request, a Conceptual Development Plan has been prepared and submitted which identifies the construction of 251 townhomes that would be developed in configurations of 3, 4, 7 and 8 plex buildings. The proposed units would range in size from an approximately 600 square foot efficiency unit up to an approximately 1,500 square foot two-story unit. The units would include a combination of different configurations and architectural styles and would include units both with attached and detached garages. The Development Plan identifies a Parcel A which would be developed as townhomes for sale with Parcel B being developed with townhomes for lease. February 22, 2019 4 of 4 In an effort to create a more desirable streetscape along NW Venture Drive, the applicant has proposed a townhome product that would include a rear loaded garage or driveway with the front doors of the units facing out towards NW Venture Drive. The applicant is working with the adjoining Broderick Family for the dedication of Parcel C as identified on the Development Plan for parkland dedication purposes. The City has previously identified Parcel C as a desired area for the extension of a trail running north and south and eventually connecting into the future connection of NW Douglas Parkway. The proposed parkland dedication would accommodate and allow the City to preserve a natural drainage way. The applicant has proposed a series of internal sidewalks and trails which would also include a connection to the future trail constructed within Parcel C. In addition to the parkland dedication, the applicant proposes a series of private improvements internal to the development that will be available for those owners and tenants. The proposed private improvements include a community building, pool, playground area and patio areas. As a part of the development, a landscape buffer would be required along the north and west property lines to provide a separation from future developments. The applicant has proposed higher quality building materials which have been identified within the Planned Development document. The buildings will be constructed of a combination of hardboard siding, brick and stone. Vinyl siding will not be permitted. The proposed Planned Development document articulates the minimum requirements and bulk regulations based upon the proposed Development Plan and also identifies the additional components of the development that will be required in exchange for relief from the minimum requirements of the R-4 underlying zoning district. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The proposed rezoning request is generally consistent with the proposed Imagine Waukee 2040 Comprehensive Plan and staff would be supportive of the proposed rezoning request.
