I I I Council Meeting Minutes July 25, 1989 Page 4 Council Business, continued The rezoning process requires that a public hearing be held and notices mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the property. In addition to the rezoning, Pratt's proposal would require approval of a Planned Residential Development and preliminary plat. These items also require public hearings and would be considered at the same time as the rezoning request. If the Council considers the rezoning, staff recommends a planned unit development (PUD) approach be required. This would increase the Ci ty' s abi 1 i ty to control the development of the rezoned property by requiring specific development plans be provided and committed to. The PUD also would require a public hearing, and all four hearings would be held simultaneously at the same Planning Commission meeting. Under the City's Comprehensive Plan the property is currently shown as Single Family Residential and the property is currently zoned R- 1. The rezoning of the subject property to General Business would represent a significant deviation from the land use proposed by the Comprehensive Plan. An option to rezoning the parcel to B-3 would be to rezone to B-2, Nei ghborhoodBusi ness. The B-2 Di stri ct woul d permit commerci a 1 convenience stores and would allow gasoline sales only as a special use. The City would then have additional controls over a B-2/PUD development versus a B-3/PUD development. A proposed gas station would be required to obtain a special use permit and would need to sati sfy the fi ve standards for granti ng a speci a 1 use permit in addition to the requirements of the approved PUD. On July 18, 1989, the Planning Commission recommended the Council initiate the consideration of a rezoning from R-l to B-3 for a 7.4 acre parcell ocated in the northwest quadrant of the S i 1 ver Lake Road and County Road E intersect ion. The P 1 ann i ng Commi ss ion expressed concern that by rezoning the subject parcel to 8-2 a high quality free-standing restaurant would not be allowed as part of the development and therefore recommended the B-3 classification. Williams verified that the staff recommendation would require approval of a PUD at the time of rezoning. Benke feels considerable thought and discussion should take place before deciding if the parcel should be rezoned. Jim Thomson, City Attorney, feels advertising the hearing as a B-2 or B-3 District rezoning hearing would el iminate the need for a future hearings. Thomson also noted a provision in the City Code wh i ch allows the Counc il to requ ire a deve 1 oper to put deed restrictions on the future development of that parcel.
