Workshop on Large Tract
Zoning Cases (Agenda Item II)
Bill Petty, Director of Community Development, spoke before
the Council on the scenario that had been prepared by city staff
and how the proposed large tract zoning policies and procedures
would be used on that zoning issue.
Mr. Petty distributed to the Council the scenario which
was called "Fantastic Acres". This zoning request consisted
of a proposed 240 -acre planned development, located in the
eastern portion of the city. This proposed zoning request contained
zoning districts of commercial, multi -family and residential.
Using the handout information that had been distributed
at a previous Council meeting, Mr. Petty reviewed the zoning
request using the prepared land use map and then explained
how the large tract zoning requirements would be used in
evaluating the proposal. A separate handout information
sheet on the house and lot size distribution of the residential
district was also distributed to the Council to explain the
density of the residential units in each of the residential
tracts.
There was considerable discussion between the Council
and city staff on how many times a planned development zoning
request would appear before the Council for consideration in
tw comparison to a straight zoning request, what determines the
differentiation between straight zoning and planned development
zoning issues, what can the adjacent property owner tell from
the initial land use plan as to what can be developed on the
property, is a site plan needed if a statement of intent is
adhered to, what level of detail would the site plan reflect
for residential uses, what are the advantages of planned
development zoning over straight zoning, and when is the
traffic analysis required.
