VIEW 10 BUSINESS CENTER REZONING AND PAD OVERLAY
Chairman Bray opened the public hearing at 6:03 p.m.
Principal Planner Karen Craver presented the request to rezone approximately 48.12 acres currently zoned Planned Area Development/Mixed Use Commercial, and generally located at the southeast corner of Sarival Avenue and McDowell Road, to C-2, General Commercial (30.51 acres) and MF-24, Multi-family Residential (17.61 acres), with a PAD Overlay on the entire 48.12 acres.
Sunbelt Land Holdings L.P., who purchased the subject property from Merit Partners in November 2019, has now brought forth this request to replace the Palm Valley Phase VIII PAD Mixed Use Commercial zoning on the Property with the city’s C-2 General Commercial zoning district and the city’s MF-24 Multi-family Residential zoning district, with a PAD Overlay on the entire property. The request is intended to create a mixed-use development that includes opportunities for retail, office and hotel uses, and an opportunity for a multi-family residential use, that can create a synergy between the uses within the development, and create a synergy with the existing commercial and residential uses in the vicinity of the proposed mixed-use development. The PAD Overlay will allow an attached retail/warehouse use in the C-2 parcel, and will also allow a maximum residential building height of 48 feet (4 stories) in the MF-24 parcel, except for the residential buildings within 200 feet of the north property line of the parcel, which is limited to 40 feet (3 stories).
Jeff Blilie, representing the applicant, was available for questions.
There being no public comment, Chairman Bray closed the public hearing at 6:09 p.m.

WILHELM AUTOMOTIVE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY (WCF) ON PROPERTY ZONED PAD (PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT)
Chairman Bray opened the public hearing at 6:09 p.m.
Planner Christian Williams presented the request for a Special Use Permit for a Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) on an approximately 1.5-acre property zoned Planned Area Development (PAD) located west of the southeast corner of Old Litchfield and Indian School Roads. The Wilhelm Automotive property, where the Wireless Communications Facility is to be located is approximately 1.5 acres in total. The pole and equipment yard will be located in the far southwest corner of the property a minimum of seven (7) feet east of the western existing wall and a minimum of 13 feet north of the southernmost existing wall. The site will be accessed utilizing existing driveways off of Indian School Road.
While this does not meet the typical Wireless Communications Facility setback in Zoning Ordinance Section 4-2-4-C-4 (a distance equal to the height of the pole – 65 feet), staff worked with the applicant and asked them to move the pole to the far southwest corner of the site so the pole is not located in the middle of the property adjacent to an existing building, is further from public view and provides further flexibility to the Wilhelm Automotive shop in the event a future business decides to locate at this location. No adjacent property owners have reached out in opposition to the city. The facility proposes a new masonry wall to the north and northeast in order to enclose and screen the new ground mounted equipment. The pole will extend vertically approximately 65 feet and will be screened to appear as a Broadleaf Tree. Conceptual elevations included with the Special Use Permit application convey the design intended for the pole and wall. The proposed pole height is 65 feet, not counting the Broadleaf tree screening, an additional 10 feet of height shall be permitted to allow the Broadleaf tree to property screen the wireless communication facility pole.
Declan Murphy, representing the applicant, was available for questions.
