AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
SUBJECT: Resolution 89- Making Findings of Fact Regarding two Appeals of
the Planning and Zoning Board Decision of Approval on April 24, 1989 for the
following three items: 1. Oak-Cottonwood Farm Amended Master Plan, 2. Harmony
Market Preliminary P.U.D., and 3. Harmony Market P.U.D., Phase One, Final.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On May 30, 1989, the City Council considered two appeals
seeking to overturn the Planning and Zoning Board's decision of approval on the
three above referenced items. The City Council considered the testimony of the
Planning Department, the appellants, and the developer of the Harmony Market
P.U.D. In subsequent discussion, the Council determined that the Planning and
Zoning Board's decision was not arbitrary and was properly supported by compe-
tent evidence in the record. The Council further found that the Board properly
interpreted and applied relevant provisions of the City Code. Finally, the
Council determined that the Board conducted a fair hearing, did not ignore its
previously established rules and procedures, and did not consider evidence that
was false or grossly misleading.
In separate votes, these two appeals were denied by the City Council thus
upholding the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board. In order to complete
the record regarding the appeal, the City Council should adopt a Resolution
making findings of fact and upholding the approval decision of the Planning and
Zoning Board.
