CONSENT AGENDA
2. Approving the Minutes for Wednesday, March 3, 2010
Recommendation
The ordinance be adopted per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
4. The property is currently vacant. The applicant is proposing to rezone the property
in order to develop it with a new facility for a contractor that installs and erects
highway signage, lighting, signals and guardrails, and provides various other “Smart
Highway” technologies.
5. The existing S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan) for C-P (Commercial Park) zoning on
the property was originally for a 15.61 acre tract and contained a note which limited
the amount of square footage for buildings, parking and the type of landscaping to
be provided. The current owner purchased 5.44 acres of the property and during
the process of platting, staff determined that the existing S-P-2 for C-P zoning on
the property would prohibit the construction of any additional buildings and parking.
The only use allowed by the current zoning of the property is outside storage.
Additionally, the existing zoning mandates landscaping materials that are outdated
under the City’s current standards.
6. The applicant is requesting the following exceptions: 1) The maximum lot coverage
for outside storage shall be 60% and must be screened with an 8 foot tall blind
fence; and 2) Warehouse use requires 1 space for each 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area; 1
space per 2,000 sq. ft. proposed.
7. The applicant has added a note stating that landscaping and building materials shall
meet the current ordinance requirements.
8. Public notice was sent to ten (10) property owners. No responses were received in
favor or opposition.
Recommendation
The ordinance be adopted per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
