HomeMy WebLinkAboutMAJESTIC ESTATES ANNEXATION & ZONING - ANX160003 - DECISION - MINUTES/NOTESPlanning & Zoning Board June 9, 2016 Page 6 Member Hobbs asked about the exclusion of property in the southwest comer, and Mr. Merrick explained the history of this property and the fact that the LDS Church would be retaining that southwest comer in perpetuity, which was a stipulation by the former owner upon the sale of the property. Planner Lorson stated that this annexation meets the LUC standards, is within the Growth Management Area, and is consistent with the City Structure Plan. There is also an agreement with the County regarding access to Rock Castle Lane. Vice Chair Hart asked about the resolution approval by Council, and Planner Lorson responded affirmatively. Public Input Linda Archer, 6439 Garrison Court, has a concern about the potential implications of this annexation, including City costs, tax implications, or other issues. She feels that there are too many building and zoning exceptions and variations currently being allowed. John Siegmund, 6860 Silver Mist Lane, is concerned because he is unsure whether Rock Castle Lane will remain private, so he is seeking assurance that it won't become a public road or lead to the future annexation of his property_ Staff Response and Board Questions Planner Lorson responded how areas are identified for annexation as a result of long-term planning and the inter -governmental agreement with the County. Rock Castle Lane will remain under private ownership and hasn't been identified as a future connection. There was more discussion regarding access and signage to the subject parcel. Planner Lorson also confirmed that future owners of this area will be subject to the same fees and property taxes as surrounding areas. He also explained the City's philosophy that development will "pay its own way", including street oversizing fees, sidewalks, traffic improvements, street lights, and any other public infrastructure, which is provided by private development and then adopted by the COFC. He also confirmed that property to the south and east could also be annexed in the future. Board Deliberation Vice Chair Hart made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend approval to the City Council for the Majestic Place Annexation and requested zoning of U-E Urban Estate based on the findings of fact on page 3 of the staff report. Member Heinz seconded the motion. Vote: 7:0. Other Business None noted.

Member Schneider agrees that Downtown district should not be restricted; he supports standards for public facilities and attention to conformance with code. Chair Kirkpatrick agreed that the minor amendment process is important; however, she does agree that the Downtown district should be restricted and doesn't feel she can support this proposal. There was some discussion as to the best way to give positive feedback to the City Council. Assistant City Attorney Yatabe recommended that the P&Z Board make a motion with specific recommendations to be adopted by Council. Overall, the Board is in favor of requiring a property owner that wants to have a stationary vending operation as an accessory use to their property to go through the minor amendment process, regardless of the district or location. They also support the development of a definition of "mobile vending" versus "stationary vending". There was more discussion about the best way to convey the sections of the proposal that they are in favor of; there was also discussion regarding the next steps after this hearing is complete. Member Hobbs made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend to City Council that they do not approve this ordinance, and that they would support the establishment of a definition between "mobile" and "stationary" vendors and the requirement for landowners to apply for minor modifications to house "stationary" vendors. Member Carpenter added an amendment to recommend "only approve". Member Carpenter seconded. Vote: 7:0. Chair Kirkpatrick and several other Board members commended Staff on their diligence in researching the issues and preparing a comprehensive proposal for the Board's review. At 7:38pm, the Board took a short break, they reconvened at 7:44pm.
