Body
Issue/Request:
This Public Hearing item was continued from the July 13, 2017 City Council meeting. The attached plan is unchanged from the previous meeting.
The applicant proposes to rezone approximately 23 acres located at the southwest corner of NE Bowlin Road and NE Jamestown Drive from AG (Agricultural District) to RP-4 (Planned Apartment Residential District) and CP-2 (Planned Community Commercial District). The proposed development consists of a twenty (20) acre apartment development composed of 297 units in ten (10) buildings, plus a clubhouse. The remaining three (3) acres will be comprised of two (2) office buildings totaling 15,000 square feet.
The proposed building design presents a modern and urban style, utilizing materials and a color palette of gray and brown brick, gray cementitious siding, tan and cream stucco, and flat roofs with metal roofing accents.
Modifications are requested for the density, building and parking setbacks, and the high impact buffer along the south and west property lines. Staff supports the proposed modification requests for the density and setback requests, but is unable to support the request to allow a landscape-only perimeter buffer in lieu of fencing.
The traffic improvements required for this development include improving Bowlin Road to an urban standard with the addition of curb, gutter, and sidewalk from the intersection of Lakewood Way to the relocated intersection of Jamestown Road.
