Stewart, Transportation Planner SUBJECT: Amend PD Planned Development District for property located in the 3900 Block of Lourdes Drive SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the PD Amendment with the following condition: Final site plans shall be submitted to and approved by the Department of Planning and Building Services, Public Works Department and the Fire Department prior to building permits being released. The City Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of this petition at the December 1, 2011 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: On March 6, 2008 the City Plan Commission voted 7-1 to approve the rezoning from R-1 Single Family Residence District to PD Planned Development. The petition was approved by the City Council by a 5-0 vote on March 17, 2008. The petitioner proposed to rezone a total of 2.47 acres to PD to allow for the construction of one (1) duplex unit and four (4) tri-plex units on one (1) lot. The development was planned to contain 14 individually owned units with a target population of 50 years or older. The sole access to The Villas at Lourdes Condominiums would be provided by Lourdes Drive and the developer would construct a new road, Villa Drive, running from Lourdes Drive to the west and then terminating in a cul-de-sac. The density of the approved development is consistent with the density allowed in an R-3 Single Family Residence District. The density of the approved development is one (1) unit per 7,685 square feet. The minimum density requirement for R-3 development is one (1) unit per 6,000 square feet. The petitioner proposes to amend their PD to allow for the construction of six (6) single family units and one (1) duplex unit. To date a tri-plex unit has already been constructed. The density will be reduced from 14 units to 11 units which is approximately one (1) unit per 9,781 square feet. The sewer and water infrastructure have been constructed in accordance with the approved PD and subdivision. The single family units shall be architecturally compatible with the duplex and tri-plex units. Each unit will have two (2) car garages and private driveways.
