ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Subdivision Case No. 2015-0482F. A request by Nicklaus Engineering on behalf of San Luis Port L.L.C., Stephen Shadle, owner, for the final plat approval of San Luis Port Subdivision. The property is located at the northeast corner of Avenue E and County 24th Street. (Jose A. Guzman, Acting Director of Planning and Zoning)
SUMMARY:
This request is for the final plat approval of the first phase of San Luis Port Subdivision. Phase 1 will consist of 8 lots ranging in size from 1.71 to 4 acres in a total of 27 acres. The entire subdivision contains approximately 228 acres. At this time, the property is vacant but has been used for agricultural activities in the past. Zoned as Rural Area- 10 acres (RA-10) for many years, it was rezoned as a combination of General Commercial (C-2), Light Industrial (L-I), Medium Density Residential (R-2), and High Density Residential (R-3). The zoning districts within the first phase are C-2 and L-1.
The area to the north belongs to the Arizona State Land Trust and is under County jurisdiction. The area to the east is occupied by the San Luis Regional Detention and Support Center. It is zoned as Rural Area 10-acre minimum (RA-10). To the south, the properties are vacant land and are zoned Community Commercial (C-2) and Light Industrial (L-I).
ANALYSIS:
In 2007, the Arizona Legislature adopted legislation that required municipalities to certify that all new subdivision had an assured 100-year water supply. On February 11, 2011 the City of San Luis was designated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) as having a 100-year adequate water supply. Consequently, individual subdivisions do not have to submit additional certification.
GENERAL PLAN:
This area is designated as Business in the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan. The activities proposed will be consistent with that designation (Chapter 2, Page 21-22). The Business Land Use designation is planned for areas suitable for higher intensity commercial, office, employment and appropriate industrial uses along major roadway corridors.
REVIEW(S):
As part of the review process, all land use cases are reviewed by various city and outside agencies. We have received comments from the following agencies:
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on November 14, 2017. The applicant was present and answered questions and comments.
The Commission recommended approval to City Council with conditions as presented by staff.
Staff recommends approval of the request with the condition that the developer addresses letter from staff dated November 13, 2017.
