5.Pre-app O&D Development -50 Lots on San Joaquin Parkway (Behind Diamond
Shamrock Station.
The property is currently zoned CSC and would require a zone classification change to
MFR-L. The developer is proposing a Garden Home Community of approximately 44
lots. Commissioner Cress stated that this would be an appropriate buffer between the
SFR and CSC zoning; however, he was concerned that this might cause a ripple effect
along FM 518 which would result in Multi-family projects along FM 528 to FM 518. The
Commission agreed with the concept, but expressed their interest in using the existing
median cuts on San Joaquin or the realignment of cuts in order to prevent traffic hazards
on San Joaquin.
MINUTES FOR APPROVAL:
March 21, 1996 -Approved as corrected
COMMUNICATIONS:
A.Staff
There will be a public hearing on May 2, 1996 regarding building heights. Council has
proposed to restrict building heights to 35 feet limiting the structure to two stories in
commercial areas and 2.5 stories in a residential with no living space allowed in the 1/2
story. This would eliminate the present maximum height allowed in Section 7, Subsection
P item 3b of the Zoning Ordinance "if the building or structure were to fit under the
imaginary line that is 63.5 degrees, with the horizontal, at the outer edge of the yard".
Comprehensive Plan -Council is to workshop; however, there has been no talk about it
at Council level.
Main Street Committee -has met once and will meet again to go thru permitted uses.
Hoover would also like for the Main Street Committee to meet with the Economic
Development Committee.
