HISTORY: Last month, .Planning Commission denied without prejudice, a
request for SF-0 zoning on this parcel.
T~.NSPORTATiON:
Sandy Lake Road is proposed to De a four-lane diwded
thoroughfare (C4D/6), contained within a six-lane
right-of-way
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:

South - developing single-famiiy~ %H-i
East - vacant; C
West - developed; $F-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Plan shows iow-density, single-family uses as most
appropriate for this parcel.
iiEM 7
ANALYSIS: The case presented last month [SF-O) suggested 35 lots {the
last minute plan which was added to the Planning ComMission
packet) were appropriate for this parcel: this month the
same developer is back suggesting 31 lots as desirable.
Elements of the first plan which were more attractive than
this submittal included a more desirable circulation plan,
one access point on Sandy Lake, which could be shared with
the owner to the east, a more sensitive entrance to the
property capitalizing on the water feature, and
considerably more open space area. The only advantage to
the plan before your tonight is the fact that the density
nas been cut by four un!ts and the SF-0 has been traded for
rD-SF-t.
We aga!n get back to the issue of what makes this zoning
request a PO? ihere is no unique character of the parcel
being protected, there is no identification information yet
submitted making this proposal different, and from all
aDoi~cation~, documents, this request might just as ~'~ be
an SF-7 minus ] 'q of th= required lot dimensions The only
apparen5 saving grace is the screening wall along Sandy
Lake which will De a requirement regardless of the
requesl.
~'rom ali information presented to date, there is no
Justification for calling this a P.D. Staff reco~mends
denial of PD-SF-7 and approval of straight SF-7 zoning.
The lot count will be reduced by granting ~¢-7; ~n_
misapplication of ?D zoning on this tract will cease.
AL%ERNAT!VE$: ~ Approve the zoning change
2i Deny the zoning change
3) Modify the zoning change
