Approval of BAZ-1987 (rezoning), The Villas at Turnberry, 5.46 acres, CG to RS-4, south and west of the southwest corner of Dearborn Street and 37th Street
End
Background:
BAZ-1987 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 5.46 - acre tract of undeveloped land located south and west of the southwest corner of Dearborn Street and 37th Street from CG (Commercial General) to RS-4 (Single-Family Residential). Applicant wants to develop approximately 22 single family detached homes on the property. The property has been platted as Lot 1, Block 1 of Turnberry Commercial. BACP 160, a request to change the Comprehensive Plan designation on this property from Level 4 to Level 3, was approved by the City Council on October 17, 2017, subject to the property being replatted. RS-4 zoning is considered to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 3.
The current CG zoning occurred on July 1, 2008, when the City Council approved BAZ 1801. BAZ 1801 was approved subject to the property being platted. The property was platted as Turnberry Commercial in 2008.
The conceptual site layout submitted with BACP 160 shows 22 single family lots and four commercial lots. The commercial lots are shown to be approximately 190 feet in depth. Staff has mentioned to the applicant that these lots may be too shallow for several types of commercial development. In addition, some of the commercial lots have less than 200 feet of frontage, which does not meet the minimum frontage requirements of the CG district. Also, the centerline of the point of access to 37th Street is less than 250 feet from the centerline of the drive to the existing commercial use on Lot 2, Block 1, which is not in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. These are items that will need to be addressed as part of the platting process.
According to the FEMA maps, none of the property is located in a 100-year floodplain area. When Turnberry Commercial was platted, it contained the following statement, “Stormwater detention accommodations for this site are provided by the existing Turnberry Place detention facility. No fees or onsite facility is required.” For stormwater detention for the property associated with BAZ-1987, applicant proposes to use the stormwater detention facility to the west.
BAZ-1987 was recommended for approval (5-0 vote) by the Planning Commission in their meeting of October 12, 2017. No one spoke on this item during the Public Hearing.
