SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant; "C" Commercial
South - convenience store; "C" Commercial
East - restaurant; "C" Commercial
West - grocery; "C" Commercial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1996 Comprehensive Plan shows the property to be
suitable for neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION: When the City approved the plat of the Kimbel Addition, MacArthur
Boulevard was Allen Road, the property was zoned residential, and the
apparent intent of development was for residential use. The establishment
of 5 lots between Sandy Lake Road and Village Parkway, each fronting
what was to become MacArthur Boulevard and each less than 131' feet
wide, did not anticipate the eventual traffic generation.
The City's challenge now is to resolve driveway access issues on a
thoroughfare carrying a traffic volume which has doubled in the past 3
years to over 13,000 cars per day. There are also some drainage issues.
In both cases the applicant is cooperating fully with the City. The grading
and driveway issues, however, may require the cooperation of an
adjoining property owner as well.
Specifically, there are two vacant lots north of the applicant's site each
owned by the same party. In combination, the two lots can access
MacArthur Boulevard via Village Parkway, because the most northerly of
the two lots has 140 feet of frontage on the Parkway. However, because
the two properties are each lots of an approved and recorded subdivision,
the City cannot prevent the owner from selling one or the other to another
party; nor deny access to MacArthur Boulevard from the more southerly
of the two lots, in such an event. It is important, therefore, to secure
access to Lot 8 from the Papa John's driveway entrance opposite the
MacArthur Boulevard median break. This will preclude any necessity to
provide additional driveway access along the very short distance between
the median break and the next one north at Village Parkway.
If access, grading and additional landscaping compliance needs can be
satisfied, the site plan in other respects is acceptable. Staff welcomes
development of the property and the successful resolution of engineering
issues.
Since the last meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commi.qsion, the
applicant has submitted a revised site plan and landscape plan. No
additional information has been received relative to architecture.
