HISTORY:
City Council rezoned the property to "C" Commercial in October of 1995,
in compliance with the terms of aa agreement settling a lawsuit. The
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council approved a
preliminary plat for the property in early 1997 under the name of
MacArthur Park Phase 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission
approved the final plat for a portion of the property in April of 1997.
However, the final plat has not been recorded, and approval of the final
plat shall become null and void if the plat is not submitted for signature
by the City before October 18, 1997.
TRANSPORTATION:
MacArthur Boulevard is a 4-lane divided thoroughfare built in a
110'-wide right-of-way shown on the thoroughfare plan as a P6D,
6-lane divided thoroughfare.

Transmission line and undeveloped; A and TH-1 zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is the companion case of an application to rezone the subject property
to a PD. However, the applicant failed to submit revised plans for the
zoning application. Therefore, staff removed the case from the Planning
and Zoning Commission agenda.
The principal reason for requesting a PD was to reduce side yard
requirements so that buildings could be clustered, while placed on separate
lots. Within the "C" District, the proposed site plan and fire lanes are not
permissible.
State law requires the Planning and Zoning Commission to act on a plat
within 30 days of submission. Failure to do so is considered the same as
approval. Consequently, this preliminary plat is submitted for
consideration even though the zoning will not be in place to make it a
submission which can be approved.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends disapproval on the grounds that proper zoning is not in
place.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat.
2) Disapprove the preliminary plat.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Preliminary plat

COMMENT $ TA TtJ$: PP. EL.~M!~,~ ~.~ Y/FINAL ~
These comments are based on the last site plan submitted for the last DRC meeting on
September 17, 1991.
1. Provide floodplain signature block.
2. It appears that the drainage easement for the existing double 7'x4' box culvert located at the
northwest comer of the property is inadequate across Lot 5. Also, show the drainage
easement for the 2 - 36" RCP's located on the south side of the property.
3. Show zoning of adjacent property to the north.
4. As previously discussed, water line around site should be private. Please comment as to
what the 15' utility easement is for. Note also that minimum width of easement is 20 feet.
5. New site plan should be provided that addressees prior comments concerning driveways,
manholes, bores, water lines, etc.
6. Please comment as to what the 10' utility and landscape easement at the northeast comer
of Lot 1 is for. It is not contiguous to the 12' street and utility easement, therefore, it is
not wide enough.
