The applicant is proposing to develop 112 townhouse units on approximately 19 acres located north of the existing Rivenwick residential development. The project area is zoned a combination of R-2 Medium Residential and B-1 Business. The proposed Rivenwick 3rd Addition contains Outlot D and Outlot E, which are platted lots that were anticipated to serve as the future alignment of Riverdale Drive when the area developed. Due to the configuration of the proposed townhouse development, Riverdale Drive has been shifted to the north ranging from 40 feet to 90 feet. The total area to be rezoned is approximately 1.82 acres in size. Property located south of the platted outlots. (Outlot D and E) is zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential and north of the platted outlots is zoned B-1 Business. The Comprehensive Plan designates the area south of Riverdale Drive as medium density residential development. North of the outlots is designated as Mixed-Use development. The property proposing to be rezoned from B-1 Business to R-2 Medium Density Residential complies with the Comprehensive Plan. City Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Chairperson Nixt stated the reason they are doing the rezoning is because they realigned Riverdale. Commissioner Kociscak asked where they realigned it.
