The applicant is proposing to develop 112 <br />townhouse units on approximately 19 acres located north of the existing Rivenwick residential <br />development. The project area is zoned a combination of R-2 Medium Residential and B-1 <br />Business. The proposed Rivenwick 3rd Addition contains Outlot D and Outlot E, which are <br />platted lots that were anticipated to serve as the future alignment of Riverdale Drive when the <br />area developed. Due to the configuration of the proposed townhouse development, Riverdale <br />Drive has been shifted to the north ranging from 40 feet to 90 feet. The total area to be rezoned <br />is approximately 1.82 acres in size. Property located south of the platted outlots (Outlot D and <br />E) is zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential and north of the platted outlots is zoned B-1 <br />Business. The Comprehensive Plan designates the area south of Riverdale Drive as medium <br />density residential development. North of the outlots is designated as Mixed-Use development. <br />The property proposing to be rezoned from B-1 Business to R-2 Medium Density Residential <br />complies with the Comprehensive Plan. City Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated the reason they are doing the rezoning is because they realigned <br />Riverdale. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak asked where they realigned it. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/October 10, 2002 <br /> Page 5 of 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
