CASE # r'7 OR REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW OF ALPHA DEVELOPMENT, SITE PLAN REVIEW OF LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, AND REZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO PUBLIC /QUASI PUBLIC; CASE OF COLUMBO LIMITED PARTNERSHIP By: Amber G. Miller, Planning Manager Background: Columbo Limited Partnership has applied for a major plat, request for site plan review, rezoning and a Comprehensive Plan amendment to accommodate a new K -12 private school (Legacy Christian Academy [LCA]) generally located generally located west of Armstrong Blvd, south of Alpine Dr and north of the railroad tracks. Observations: The Project includes a major subdivision within the Pine Shadows Addition to accommodate a future 225,000- 275,000 square foot school. The Subject Property is 184.91 acres and is currently Zoned R -1 Residential, R -2 Residential, R -3 Residential and TC -2 Sub - District. The plat proposes to subdivide the parcel into three separate parcels, one lot and two outlots. Lot 1 is proposed to be 96.087 acres, 85.28 acres of which are proposed to rezoned to Public /Quasi Public and require Comprehensive Plan Amendment; while Outlots A and B are proposed to be 35 acres and 45.196 acres, respectively. Additionally, there will be 8.635 acres of Right -of -Way. All lots meet minimum lot width, frontage, and size requirements for all of the zoning districts. As has been past practice for the Public /Quasi - Public Zoning District, Staff will evaluate the proposal based on the standards of the B -1 Business District. The site proposes two accesses from an extension of Bunker Lake Blvd. as a local street within a proposed 120 foot right -of -way. Upon development, Outlot A would access an improved Puma St. and Alpine Dr. and Outlot B would access from the extended Bunker Lake Blvd. and potentially an improved Puma St. Full build out of Bunker Lake Blvd it is planned as a four lane road with two lanes in each direction. A first phase is being proposed to construct one lane in each direction, cul -de -sac terminating just west of the softball fields. The proposed cul -de -sac exceeds the 600 foot maximum length that exists in Section 117- 614(c)(7) of City Code, therefore revisions should be made to extend Bunker Lake Boulevard all the way to Puma Street. Puma Street should then be upgraded to minimum City paving standards to Alpine Drive (including a trail) to serve as a secondary access into the project area. In addition, the westerly leg of the Bunker Lake and Armstrong Blvd intersection would need to be constructed full width, based upon the revised traffic analysis and ultimate intersection design. To satisfy the park dedication requirements, Staff presented this project to the Park and Recreation Commission on October 13, 2010 to receive a recommendation as to Park Dedication. After much discussion, the Park Commission recommendation is dedication of 4.175 acres as an Outlot. This fulfills $395,623 in Park Dedication (Value afforded to LCA = $94,760 per acre). The City and LCA would then agree within Development Agreement that the City shall consider one of the following three scenarios for future development of the remaining outlots (or combination thereof): 1. Amending location of City owned Outlot 2. Converting the land back into Park Dedication (cash) 3. Adding additional Park Dedication to it — at the time of the platting of the adjoining outlot (owned by LCA).
