TITLE:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Policy Decision or Reason for Action:
Section 10-20.70.030.F of the Subdivision Code states that upon receipt of a final recommendation from the Community Development Director and City Engineer, the City Council shall review the final plat for final approval. Final approval indicates that the final plat meets the requirements of the Zoning Code, the Subdivision Code, and the Engineering Design Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure, and is in substantial conformance to an approved preliminary plat.
Financial Impact:
No financial liabilities are anticipated by the approval of this final plat.
Connection to Council Goal:
Effective governance
Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
On September 17, 2013, the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat of Tract B of Presidio in the Pines for the subdivision of Tract B into 14 single-family townhomes on approximately 1.65 acres.
Options and Alternatives:
A) Approve the final plat as recommended by staff with one condition:
- Prior to the submittal of the final plat for signatures, the City signature block must be updated to reflect approval by the Community Development Director and the City Engineer.
C) Deny approval of the final plat based on non-compliance with the Zoning Code, the Subdivision Code, the Engineering Design Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure, or the preliminary plat.
Background/History:
Presidio in the Pines was planned and developed using the Traditional Neighborhood District (TND) standards found within the previous Land Development Code. When the Zoning Code was adopted, the TND standards were carried forward in the form of transect zones. While townhomes are not specifically permitted within the HC zone, they are permitted as part of a Planned Residential Development (PRD) with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The Zoning Code established the PRD as a mechanism to allow the development of specific transect zone building types (i.e. townhouse, duplex, courtyard apartments, etc.) in non-transect zones. These specific building types, however, are dependent on transect development standards. As such, this development proposes the use of the T4 Neighborhood 2 (T4N2) transect zone development standards.
On May 18, 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 2004-05 that rezoned approximately 91 acres of property from the Rural Residential (RR) Zone as follows: approximately 77 acres to the High Density Residential (HR) Zone, approximately 1 acre to the Single-Family Residential (R1) Zone (formally known as the Urban Residential (UR) Zone), and approximately 13 acres to the Highway Commercial (HC) Zone (formally known as the Urban Commercial (UC) Zone).
On May 28, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2004-40 that entered the City into a Development Agreement that included the Presidio in the Pines Development Master Plan. A copy of the recorded Development Agreement, with included Development Master Plan is on file and available for inspection with the Community Development Department. Subsequently, the Development Agreement has been amended three times by the City Council. The most recent amendment entitled the Third Supplement to the Development Agreement is dated August 2, 2012.
Community Involvement:
The existing zoning allows for the proposed subdivision. No public hearing or public outreach is required as part of a subdivision plat review; however, the preliminary plat was reviewed by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council as part of a public meeting.
