HISTORY:
No history on this site.
TRANSPORTATION:
Future access for this subdivision will be Sandy Lake Road
and Riverchase Drive. Sandy Lake Road in its present state
is a substandard 2-lane roadway. Future plans for Sandy
Lake Road included a 4-lane divided roadway. As for
Riverchase Drive, (adjacent to this subdivision) it must
tie into the existing Riverchase Drive, adjacent to the
golfcourse. Two other developments, Villages at
Riverchase, (formerly Turnberry Village) and Riverchase
Estates must include the installation of Riverchase Drive.
Huffines and Partners is the developer for the subject
tract (Riverview Estates) as well as the Villages at
Riverchase. Details which determine the construction of
Riverchase Drive should be finalized prior to approval of
the final plat.
ITEM 9
ANALYSIS:
ZC-532 has been submitted as a request to change the zoning
from (R) Retail to (SF-9) Single-Family-9. Because it is
not a PD, conditions may not be placed on its approval.
However, staff would reconunend that the site be designed in
a manner to reflect the importance of a gateway to the
City. A unique and attractive entry feature should be
encouraged for this area. The site was originally part of
a 25 acre site zoned for retail use. Approximately 19
acres were purchased for the development of single-family
structures (SF-9) and the remaining 6 acres, which has the
frontage on Sandy Lake Road, will be developed as (R)
Retail by others in the future.
In summary, because this case has been submitted as a
straight zoning case, technically, we can only ask that
special attention is devoted to the subdivision's identity
along Sandy Lake Road. We encourage the developer to
install an entrance that projects a strong image, as this
subdivision is situated at the entrance into the City via
Sandy Lake Road.
Staff has no objections to approval of this zoning change.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the zoning change request
2) Deny the zoning change request
