Case #2: Public Hearing - Request to Rezone Property from B -2 Business to Planned Unit Development (PUD); Case of DPM Investments, Inc. Case #3: Public Hearing Request for Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Site Plan Review of Ebony Woods; Case of DPM Investments, Inc. Presentation Associate Planner Daines indicated Case Nos. 1, 2 and 3 will be discussed together. Ms. Dalnes stated DPM Investments has submitted an application for an amendment to the 2001 Comprehensive Plan. The request is to change the land use designation from Places to Shop to Medium Density Residential on the property located on the east side of Ebony Street, just south of the Super Bowl. Ms. Dalnes advised DPM Investments is proposing to develop the site with 6 twinhome units (3 two -unit buildings), which would require a land use change from Places to Shop to Medium - Density Residential. A Zoning Amendment is also before the Planning Commission for consideration to rezone the property from B -2 Business to Planned Unit Development. Ms. Daines explained on April 26, 2005, the City Council adopted an Interim Policy for proposed land use changes that are requested prior to the completion of the Comprehensive Plan update. Ms. Dalnes reviewed the interim policy criteria as it realtes to DPM's application. The submitted preliminary plat and preliminary site plan were evaluated according to current R -2 Medium Density Residential standards for twinhomes. The plan meets all requirements with the exception of lot width. The R -2 District requires a 50 -foot lot width, and the plan shows five 40- foot lots and one 44 -foot lot. Staff is recommending that the reduced lot width be considered for approval as part of the PUD because the proposal is meeting all other lot standards and setback requirements, and because the twinhome buildings will have less bulk and a lower profile than the townhome buildings that were previously proposed for this site.
