<br />2 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />At the July 26, 1994, Planning Commission meeting, Country Ridge <br />Partnership requested a rezoning of Outlot B, Country Crossing 2nd Addition <br />to a R3 (TownhouselMulti-family) zoning designation. The Planning <br />Commission recommended to the City Council that the rezoning application <br />be denied because the R3 zoning would also allow multi-family (apartments) <br />to be developed, However, the Planning Commission did recommend that <br />Country Ridge Partnership return with a conditional use permit application <br />and preliminary plat for a Planned Unit Development, consisting of <br />townhouse-type units. The City Council concurred with the Planning <br />Commission and Country Ridge Partnership withdrew their rezoning request <br />and began to pursue the Planned Unit Development concept (see attached <br />minutes). <br /> <br />OVERVIEW <br /> <br />Attached is an application packet put together by the developer which <br />presents a description of the project. Without reiterating this information, <br />the Planning Commission may wish to refer to this packet for some general <br />information regarding the project. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />REZONING <br /> <br />As mentioned earlier, the subject property is divided into two zoning <br />designations, Planned Unit Development on the north half and R1c on the <br />south, As recommended by the Planning Commission, the rezoning request <br />would change all of Outlot B of Country Crossing 2nd Addition to a PUD <br />zoning designation. Given the character and location of this project, the <br />Planned Unit Development zoning allows for flexibility from the ordinance' <br />typical standards. At the same time, it provides a review process whereby <br />the Planning Commission and City Council have more control to assure the <br />project is compatible with surrounding land uses. <br /> <br />PRELIMINARY PLAT <br /> <br />The proposed preliminary plat consists of 64 twinhome lots with a dimension <br />of 38 feet wide and 82 feet deep. There is also one lot (65) that covers all of <br />the common space within the development. This lot will be held in common <br />interest by Country Crossings Townhouse Homeowners Association. The <br />association will oversee the maintenance of this common space. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />As part of the platting and development of this property, 183rd Avenue will <br />have to be constructed from Joplin west to Sandpiper Estates. This road will <br />have a median extending west from Joplin approximately 150 -200 feet. The <br /> <br />s:planning:pc:p94-13 <br />
