ORDINANCE NO. 4662

 

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CORNER SQUARE OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT ZONE OF POD G FROM R-12 (RESIDENTIAL 12 DU/AC) TO B-1 (NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS) AND MODIFY THE PHASING SCHEDULE

 

LOCATED AT NORTH 1ST STREET AND PATTERSON ROAD

 

Recitals:

 

The applicant, F & P Development LLC, wish to amend the Planned Development (PD) adopted in 2006 by Ordinance #3981 by changing the default zone of Pod G from R-12 (Residential 12 du/ac) to B-1 (Neighborhood Business) restricting the uses to residential, office, personal services and commercial parking with no sales-oriented uses.

 

This Planned Development zoning ordinance will establish the standards, default zoning (B-1) and deviations of approval for the amended Plan for the Corner Square Outline Development Plan.

 

In public hearings, the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed the request for the proposed amended Outline Development Plan and determined that the Plan satisfied the criteria of the Code and is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, it was determined that the proposed Plan has achieved “long-term community benefits” by reducing traffic demands through the creation of a neighborhood center that is in walking distance of many single and multi-family residential units; providing extensive landscaping for a greater quality and quantity of private open space; providing needed multi-family housing; and creating an opportunity for innovative design.
