Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2021-450 - Rezoning from AG to RP-3 and Preliminary Development Plan - Anderson Pointe, 5601 NE Anderson Road; Engineering Solutions, LLC, applicant.
(Note: This was continued from April 12, 2022 per the applicant's request.)
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from AG to RP-3 to allow a proposed residential development consisting of 66 single-family homes and 10 duplexes (20 dwelling units) totaling 86 dwelling units on 23.73 acres. The development includes two amenity areas in the form of a playground and a swimming pool. The plan also calls for the establishment of tree preservation areas along the development’s entire I-470 frontage, along the site’s northern boundary and along portions of the development’s northernmost frontage along NE Anderson Dr.
The applicant requests a modification to the minimum 50’ street frontage requirement for five (5) of the proposed single-family residential lots.
Area residents have expressed concern and opposition to the proposed development citing issues that include: existing flooding/stormwater issues; traffic generation and safety; unimproved road conditions along NE Anderson Dr; compatibility; school capacity issues; and loss of open space/wildlife habitat.
Based on the concerns cited above, area residents have submitted protest petitions to the City. Protest petitions from the owners of more than 30% of the surrounding property (55.7%, more specifically) located within 185’ of the project site have been confirmed and has thus triggered a valid legal protest. A valid legal protest has no impact on any process or proceeding at the Planning Commission level. However, a valid legal protest triggers the requirement for a minimum six (6) votes in the affirmative to pass an ordinance approving the application at the City Council level.
