SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - vacant; Retail
South - vacant, and DART r.o.w.; Retail
East - vacant; MF-2
West - developing shopping center; Retail
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Plan shows retail uses as most appropriate here.
ANALYSIS:
Although comments have been made in the past regarding the wisdom of
placing day care facilities in commercially used areas, the Zoning
Ordinance recognizes day care centers as allowable by right in these
districts, and staff will not dwell on that issue.
In analyzing this site plan, we note the applicant is abiding by all our
regulations relative to signage, landscaping, parking, open space required,
etc. At one point there was concern that the fire lane configuration would
not meet City guidelines. That problem has been resolved and the
applicant has agreed to the placement of a statement on the plat document
(as well as submitting a letter) that states the fire lane located along the
common northern property boundary (between lots D and E) will be
constructed when deemed necessary by the City. That being the case, and
the fact that the use is allowed in R zoned areas, this proposal can be
approved.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the replat
2) Deny the replat
3) Modify the replat
ATFACHMENTS:
1) Replat Document
2) Site Plan
3) Landscape Plan
4) Fire Lane Construction Agreement
5) Departmental Comments
