The property is 16.67 acres' in size and is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The preliminary plat accompanying the application proposes to develop the entire parcel with 58 townhomes and a future apartment complex. The adjacent parcels to the north and west (Flintwood Hills 2nd - 5th Addition) are zoned Planned Unit Development. The parcels on the east are zoned B-1 Business. The Comprehensive Plan Draft dated December 21, 1999, designates this area for high density residential according to the Future Land Use Map. This category includes housing developments with a maximum density of 15 units per net acre and includes housing units such as townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. City Staff and the Planning Commission, after several reviews, recommend approval on the rezoning orB-1 and B- 2 to a Planned Unit Development. City Administrator Norman stated the Council recently discussed the property proposed as apartment to be commercial but the applicant has reviewed that and determined it would not work. He stated he talked with Mr. Bulow about the density of the apartments which the Council feels is too high. He stated he requested the applicant to lower the density.
