Continuation – Consideration for a Rezoning of 2901 and 2925 County Road 10 and West Half of 8060 Groveland Road. Community Development Director Ericson presented the continuation of the discussion on May17, 2006 for consideration for a rezoning of 2901 and 2925 County Road 10 and the west half of 8060 Groveland Road to R-3 Medium Density Residential. In 2005, Integra Homes, applied for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Planning Commission reviewed the general concept plan for 21 owner-occupied townhome units on a lot of less than three acres. Concern was expressed by the Panning Commission and adjacent property owners that the proposed development was too intensive, intrusive and out of place given the adjacent single-family residential properties. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution 796- 05 in July 2005, recommending denial of the PUD based on the excessive development density and other adverse impacts. Rather than pursue action at the City Council level, Integra chose to re- evaluate their plan based on the feedback received. Integra completed their evaluation and re- submitted an application as a simple rezoning rather than a PUD. Currently, the 3.01-acre development site located on County Road 10 has a mixed zoning designation. The property at 2901 County Road 10 is zoned B-3, Highway Business and is currently vacant. The properties at 2925 County Road 10 and the back of 8060 Groveland Road are currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. It also has an existing single family home that would be demolished if the development were to move forward. Integra Homes is requesting a rezoning of the identified parcels to an R-3, Medium Density designation. Integra proposed development of a 19-unit owner-occupied townhome development to provide minimum intrusion of bordering properties rather than the original 21 units proposed in 2005. Director Ericson stressed this is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan.
