B. Action on Subdivision Case No. 2018-0634F
SUMMARY:
The property is located on the east mesa of the City of San Luis. It is located within Bienestar Estates 9B Subdivision, Bienestar Estates 9B is a single-family residential subdivision zoned as Medium-High Density Residential (R-2).
This property was originally designated as Tract B. Usually tracts are intended for public purpose such as parks or retention basins.
This project was originally proposed to develop the land as a condominium complex with 12 units and common areas.
GENERAL PLAN:
This area is designated as Neighborhood in the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan. The activities proposed will be consistent with that designation (Chapter 2, Page 19-20). The Neighborhood Land Use designation allows all types of residential development.
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.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING:
This item was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission during their regular meeting of January 8, 2019.
Review comments were sent out to the applicant’s engineer on December 24, 2018. At the time of the Commission meeting, staff did not receive the revised plans, in an effort to be proactive and be more development friendly, staff recommended approval of the final plat for Subdivision Case No. 2018-0634F. The recommendation was subject to the condition that before presenting this item to City Council, the applicant had to address the review comments. The Planning Commission approved staff's recommendations.
The applicant submitted the revised plans on January 17, 2019. When the plans were submitted the development was changed from condominiums to townhouses. Due to the change, the plans were mostly the same but required an extensive review because different regulations apply to condominiums and townhouses. Staff reviewed the revised plans and send out comments to the applicant in a letter dated February 24, 2019.
