ORDINANCE NO. 3680
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2644 ZONING WILSON RANCH PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
TO INCLUDE MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR A PORTION OF THE
ORIGINAL WILSON RANCH TO BE KNOWN AS THE WOODRIDGE SUBDIVISION
LOCATED SOUTH OF G-1/2 ROAD AND WEST OF 26 ROAD
Recitals:
The land zoned as Planned Residential development under Ordinance No. 2644 “Zoning Certain Lands Annexed to the City Located South of G-1/2 Road and East of 25-1/2 Road” (Wilson Ranch) in 1993 did not fully develop as originally planned; approximately 7.8 acres has not developed. A proposal from GNT Development regarding the 7.8 acres has been presented to the Planning Commission to recommend to City Council an amendment to the original Planned Residential ordinance and to establish the underlying zone for this 7.8 acres with the preliminary development plan. The proposal refers to this land as Woodridge Subdivision and will be so referred to herein.
On August 24, 2004, the Planning Commission did approve the proposed preliminary development plan and establishment of the underlying zone after finding the request to be in compliance with the Zoning and Development Code.
The original zoning for all of Wilson Ranch, including the Woodridge Subdivision was Planned Residential with a maximum density of 4.4 units per acre. This density included multifamily development in the area being planned for Woodridge Subdivision.
The proposed density of the Woodridge Subdivision is 4.5 units per acre which is consistent with the original Wilson Ranch Planned Residential zone as well as with the Growth Plan Future Land Use Map. The property is designated as Residential Medium 4 to 8 units per acre on the Growth Plan Future Land Use Map.
The default zone for the Woodridge Subdivision pursuant to Section 3.3.G. of the Zoning and Development Code is Residential Multifamily 8 Units per Acre (RMF-8).
The City Council having considered the record, the recommendation of the staff and the Planning Commission finds that the proposal satisfies the requirements of the Zoning and Development Code for conditional approval of an amendment to the Planned Development zone.
