� #06-3249 CMP Aii�endment <br /> November-l5,20p6 <br /> Page 3 .` . . <br /> Hempel Properties Proposal. Iii June 2006 Hempel Properties proposed a medical office <br /> aiid retail strip center for the siie, requesting a further amendiilent of the CMP to remove <br /> the condition that oiie of the buildings had to be a pharmacy/convenience store. Although <br /> tlie Plamung Commissioii reconiuiended approval of such a change, the City Council after <br /> � a number of izzeetings and much discussion voted on Septeiiiber 25, 2006 to deny the <br /> requested CMP amendment. Heinpel subsequently formally withdrew their application. <br /> Curreiit Status. There are no current applications for development of Outlot A. The City <br /> Couiicil lias directed City staff to proceed witli a CMP amendment that would in effect <br /> "undo"the changes tliat were adopted in 2004. The property owners have been notified via <br /> . the standard mailed legal notice of this proposed amendment, but as of tlus writing have <br /> iiot weighed in with staff as to filieir position on the matter. The City Cotuicil llas broad <br /> discretion to revise the Comprehensive Plan as it sees fit after following the proper <br /> notification and public hearing process. <br /> RR-1B Zonin�is Inconsistent with CMP. The City Attorney has indicated that because tlie <br /> current RR-1B zoiling does not match the City's intent for Outlot A nor the proposed <br /> guiding, the City should consider rezoiung to a zone that reflects the City's intent. The � <br /> City purposely has not done so to date, and l�as simply been using the RR.-1B zoning as a <br /> `holding zone' for this and other properties that were re-guided fiom SFR to soinething else <br /> (MFR, Coiiunercial, etc.) in past actions. The Council's ultent for Outlot A appears to <br /> most closely match t11e B-6 district standards, whicli allows offices, banks, libraries, and <br /> motels/hotels. The Stonebay umbrella developinent agreements require Outlot A to <br /> develop via the PUD process. <br /> Staff and the City Attorney reconunend tliat Outlot A be rezoned to B-6 PUD with <br /> reference to a basic `undeveloped' survey of the property as the approved developinent <br /> plan. The rezoiung would be structured so that a1i auieiidment of the B-6 PUD zoning <br /> would be required for any development p1ai1 proposed for the site. In this way, the B-6 <br /> PUD zoi�ing becomes the `holding' zoiie, and this would allow for the zoning and comp <br /> plan to be coiisistent as required by State Stat�rte. <br /> Proposed Amendnnent <br /> Please review the attached exlubits, especially the excerpts from the original 2000-2020 <br /> CMP Ianguage ihat guided the area betweeil Kelley Parkway aud Highway 12 for primarily <br /> � office use. The City Council during the Hempel applicatioii gave considerable thought to <br /> whether any significauf level of retail is still appropriate for Outlot A, and a seiise of that <br /> discussion appears in the Septenlber 25 Couucil miiiutes aitached. <br /> Council's general conclusion in 2004 was that the iiiagnitude and types of retail proposed <br /> for Outlot A at that time would have muumal iiiipact on Loiig Lake's ability to move <br /> forward with its Downtown Master Plan. The Council fioday apparently no longer adheres <br /> to that scliool of thought. <br />
