HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes COM 03-28-19 we pressed the Committee to vote it would not be favorable.Brian Tuohy-I learned early in my career not to press boards to vote if they were reluctant.John Adams-I think that if a vote occurred tonight,out of the four of us,three members would not want to send this forward with a recommendation. Is that correct?Commercial Committee-Correct.John Adams-If that is the case the same vote would hold true with the Commission. Other people, like myself,that like the white would be overruled.Alan Potasnik-You are right, I feel it would move forward with a negative recommendation.Then who knows what will happen. Tom Kegley-I applaud the efforts of the petitioners.There are still a few questions on the table. Brian Tuohy-We will get some additional information and be back on May 9th. Petition continued to the May 9th Commercial Committee meeting. 3. Docket No. 19020005 Z: South Range Line Cl Rezone. The applicant seeks to rezone 3 parcels located at 1040, 1112 and 1118 S. Range Line Road from the B3/Business District within the Range Line Road Overlay District to the C1/City Center District. Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Cannel Plan Commission. Petitioner&Department Report: Adrienne Keeling • The site is immediately east of City Hall between Veterans Way and Range Line Rd. Much of the zoning is already C-1/City Center including the City Hall parking lot,Old Town offices,Proscenium,and the City Hall complex.This is the next logical area given what is occurring in the area. The three subject properties are vacant or being used as a rental home. • As I mentioned at the March 19th Commission meeting there is no specific building or site plans for review. If any project moved forward there would be a Development Plan and ADLS public hearing. Committee Comments: John Adams: • I believe there are three structures being rezoned. Two,I believe,are abandoned.Is the middle building occupied?Does the City of Cannel own the three parcels?Adrienne Keeling: All the parcels are owned by the same entity, Stewart& Stewart Attorneys or one of their LLCs. The north and south buildings are vacant and have been for a while. The middle building is a rental home. • Is the next step in the process that the City would enter in some kind of discussion to purchase the land? Adrienne Keeling: By rezoning to the C-1/City Center district,the land is in the realm of the Cannel Redevelopment Commission(CRC)who then has the authority to create project agreements with developers or owners at that time. The hope is because of lot size,three lots could be combined together to make a better site plan and promote connectivity between Range Line Rd.and Veterans Way.Mike Hollibaugh: The City will not be buying the properties. It will be a private developer that brings the project through. Laura motions to send Docket No. 19020005 Z to City Council with Favorable Recommendation,Tom seconds,motion passes 4-0. 4. Docket No. 19020007 Z: Range Line& City Center Drive C2 Rezone. The applicant seeks to rezone 7 parcels comprising the block located at the southeast corner of Range Line Road and City Center Drive from the R2/Residence and B7/Business District within the Range Line Road Overlay District to the C2/Mixed Use District. Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Cannel Plan Commission. Petitioner&Department Report: Adrienne Keeling • The site is at the southeast corner of Range Line Rd. and City Center Dr.The site comprises the entire block and is zoned B-7/Business and R-2/Residential. The CRC owns the northwest corner of the block, which is the shopping center,as well as, some of the smaller parcels that extend over to Pawnee Dr.There are two homes along Pawnee Dr.Ace Hardware makes up the rest of the block. The ownership remains the same. Commercial Committee Minutes 03-2849 6 • As mentioned at the March 19th Commission meeting there is no proposed project,however,knowing that the CRC would want to do something with this site, Staff included the entire site to better blend the neighborhood into future developments. • C-2/Mixed Use is less intense than C-1/City Center zoning across Range Line Rd. For C-1/City Center building heights, as they approach residential uses,must be smaller.This is why C-1/City Center was proposed for this location.Additionally,the 35-ft.height limit in the C-1/City Center zoning district matches the existing B-7/Business and R-2/Residential zoning at the site.This height limitation is also consistent with the Range Line Road Overlay. • The original C-1/City Center and C-2/Mixed-Use zoning occurred in 2000.This has slowly expanded,not necessarily with projects in mind,but as certain capital improvements occurred Staff takes a measured approach to rezone certain parcels so that the CRC can take a larger overall view and plan for these areas. • Some neighbors were concerned that bulldozers would show up the next day. The Proscenium is an example of a development taking a while to begin construction once the site was rezoned. The Midtown area first occurred in 2007 and the Midtown area was expanded in 2016.The Main St. and Range Line Rd.parcel came through in 2005. My point is that these things don't always happen immediately. Committee Comments: Alan Potasnik: • The CRC purchased the corner shopping center. Did they purchase all the residentially zoned properties as well?Adrienne Keeling:Ace Hardware and the two southern most houses on the block are privately owned. The remainders of the lots are owned by the CRC. Tom motions to send Docket No. 19020007 Z to City Council with Favorable Recommendation,Laura seconds,motion passes 4-0. Meeting adjourned at 7:29 PM. /I Nathan Chavez Recording Secretary Alan Potasni Committee Chairman Commercial Committee Minutes 03-28-19 7
