I I I I I I l I I I I I I I CASE REQUEST FOR EXCEPTION FROM DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM; CASE OF WAYNE JOHNSON AND TSM DEVELOPMENT, INC. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik General Background: In a prior case on tonight's agenda, the City Council adopted an ordinance to establish a development moratorium on certain land use sensitive parcels (with respect to the comprehensive plan update) within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The moratorium includes a parcel located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of County Roads 56 and 116, just west of Regency Pond. This parcel is owned by Wayne Johnson and he has entered into a purchase agreement with TSM Development. They have requested an exception to the moratorium to proceed with a plan to rezone the property from Industrial to R-3 Urban Residential and develop it with townhomes. The moratorium ordinance provides for exceptions when compliance may result in undue hardship. The Council has the authority to grant an exception to the moratorium with conditions desirable for the protection of the public interest. Observations: In accordance with Council's policy, the request for exception was forwarded to Hoisington Koegler Group for review and recommendation. Hoisington prefers that the parcel remain in the mOratorium, but if Council chooses to grant the exception, careful consideration should be given to the density issue during site plan review relative to the land use and density discussions currently in progress. The following items are enclosed: a) b) c) d) Site location map Letter from Wayne Johnson dated June 9, 1998 Development concept plan Memorandum from Hoisington Koegler Group dated June 15, 1998 Recommendation: With respect to the established exception criteria, the City Staff recommends the following findings:
