Ms. Diamond reviewed the original request with the Commission It includes Corridor Commercial and residential zoning She reviewed the need for the Community Facilities on this property. The revision for consideration is Tract A4 is being changed from R-5 to a planned development for CF/R5. She reviewed the development conditions for this tract. The city is targeting a 50 -acre park site at this location. Two other CF tracts are needed. The proponent has indicated that a fire station site is intended for this property. Staff is suggesting additional wording be added stating "in the event the fire station site has not been acquired elsewhere, that prior to any land being platted adjacent to Alma or Ridgemont, that a one -acre lot for a fire station be made available to the City at the time of platting." She indicated that the City is in need of a water tower site to be located along the eastern border of Tract B4. This tract is shown as straight zoning. The Public Works Department has indicated that they are able to begin acquiring this site immediately. Staff recommends approval subject to: 1) additional wording regarding the fire station site; 2)When Alma Drive alignment is set, the tract lines should be set accordingly; 3) the Planning and Zoning Commission should be aware of the City's intent to acquire a water tower site. Mr. Richard Ferrara, representing the Campbell property, advised that language has been presented to satisfy all parties regarding the community park. He noted that they had intended that the fire station be available in the previous Campbell Planned Development Ordinance. He requested that the previous Planned Development Ordinance be changed administratively to add that language. He requested that the fire station be on one of the three commercial tracts, either the two within this request or the one in the previous Planned Development. He asked the Commission to add Tracts At and A2 to the planned development so that the fire station language could be included within those two tracts. Ms. Diamond indicated that the language proposed would allow for the fire station to be acquired in either of these area; however, if it has not been located prior to platting of Tract A4, it should be included in that tract. With additional land acquired from adjacent owners, the community park south would include approximately 75 acres. Ms. Diamond reviewed the fact that the proponent has offered to include Tract Al and A2 in the planned development for the purpose of inserting the language regarding the fire station. The Commission discussed the need for the water tower site. Mr. Conner indicated that this is the ideal location for the tower. The proponent indicated that they are not willing to commit to reservation of the site for the water tower Commission Member Smith indicated that she understands that the City will pursue condemnation of the site She feels the zoning is appropriate.
