STAFF REPORT DATE: March 9, 2004 Agenda 03-16-04 Item VI B Commissioners Danny Howell, District 1 Scott Anderson, District 2 Rusty Johnson, District 3 Nancy J. Parker, District 4 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Robert Lewis, AICP, Planning Manager 6 - THROUGH: Russ Wagner,AICP, Community Development ment Director SUBJECT: Villas at Woodsmere Conceptual Plan Project # CP -01-01-04 ISSUE: Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Conceptual Plan for the Villas at Woodsmere? BACKGROUND: The Villas at Woodsmere townhouse development is located on the west side of Good Homes Road, just north of SR 50 and the Good Homes Plaza. The property has a Professional Offices and Services Future Land Use designation in the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned P -S. The northern edge of the subject property abuts part of the Rose Hill subdivision in Orange County, the southern edge and western edges of the subject property abut the Good Homes Plaza shopping center and an existing retention pond. This site is covered with planted pines and a mixture of oak trees and other varieties of trees scattered around the property. This proposed townhouse development is not consistent with the existing zoning of the subject property. However, Section 4-6(A)(4) of the Land Development Code provides a special procedure for approval of a Conceptual Plan for a proposed development within the SR 50 Special Overlay District that is inconsistent with the existing underlying zoning. This special procedure is available only if the proposed uses generate impacts of equal or lesser intensity than the uses permitted by the existing underlying zoning. The procedure requires advertised public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Commission. The City Commission may impose any additional Conditions of Approval as it deems appropriate. Any approval of the Conceptual Plan will be subject to a Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plan acceptable to the City Commission and in compliance with the requirements of the Land Development Code. Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners March 9, 2004 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION: The Villas at Woodsmere townhouse subdivision includes 64 townhouse lots on about 6.4 acres. As shown in the Conceptual Plan, there is an existing 7' brick wall along the entire southern boundary of the site. The Developer will construct a new 7' brick wall along the entire northern and western boundaries of the site to buffer the townhouse development from the existing Rose Hill subdivision. Tum lanes on Good Homes Road will also be provided as determined by a traffic analysis approved by the City with the Preliminary Subdivision Plan. The Villas at Woodsmere will be a gated community with gates at the entrance from Good Homes Road. The Land Development Code requires a minimum living area of 1,200 square feet per unit for townhouses, which has been exceeded in this Conceptual Plan (the plan shows an minimum 1,500 square feet). The only waiver being requested is from the maximum cul-de-sac length of 800 feet, due to the unique constraints of limited access and the shape of the subject property. This requested waiver is supported by Staff. The Traffic Impact Analysis shown on the Plan indicates that the impact of the proposed townhouse development is less than the impact that would have been generated by an office development on this property, thereby meeting the criteria set forth in the Code for a development that is inconsistent with the underlying zoning. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the proposed Conceptual Plan on February 25, 2004 and discussed a few remaining issues. The discussion centered on issues that were identified in written comments from Foley and Lardner and from Planning. It was agreed that all of the requested changes to the Plan would be made prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. It was also recommended that the Developer meet with the Rose Hill HOA prior to the public hearings. When the discussion was finished, the DRC voted to recommend approval of the Conceptual Plan, with the plan changes identified in written comments from Foley and Lardner and from Planning. All of the plan changes that were discussed at the DRC meeting have been made on the plans that were submitted for the public hearings. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to consider the Conceptual Plan for the Villas at Woodsmere on March 9, 2004. The City Staff and the Developer will present a staff report and answer questions about any issues that come up. Since this package was sent out prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to discuss this proposal, Staff will provide a summary of the P&Z discussion and action at the City Commission meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the recommendation of the DRC, Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Conceptual Plan for the Villas at Woodsmere, as date stamped received by the City on March 4, 2004, including the proposed waiver regarding cul-de-sac length.
