<br />As noted in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment case, the City Council last discussed Ebony . <br />Woods at the November 14, 2006 regular meeting and directed the developer to prepare <br />additional revisions to the building elevations, which are discussed in the preliminary plat case. <br /> <br />This case was before the City Council on December 28, 2006, but was tabled at the request of the <br />applicant. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />As discussed above, the draft Mississippi River Overlay District code and the Comprehensive <br />Plan require new development in the River Corridor to be processed as a PUD. Staff also <br />recommended approval of the PUD request because all other lot standards and setback <br />requirements are being met, and because the proposed twinhomes will have less bulk and a lower <br />profile than the townhome buildings previously proposed for the site. The Planning Commission <br />reviewed the rezoning request at their September 7, 2006 meeting and recommended denial of <br />the rezoning request, because of a lack of compelling reason to allow a different use than is <br />provided with the current B-2 zoning. <br /> <br />.. Because the Planning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning request, findings of fact <br />for denial of the request are included in the case. Staff has also included findings for approval, if <br />the City Council is inclined to approve the request. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #07-01-_ adopting Findings of Fact #_ to approve the request to <br />rezone the subject property from B-2 Business to Planned Unit Development. <br /> <br />-and- <br /> <br />Motion to introduce Ordinance #07--,- rezoning the property from B-2 Business to Planned Unit <br />Development, contingent upon approval of the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, <br />preliminary plat approval, and preliminary site plan approval, based on the Findings of Fact. <br /> <br />-OR- <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #07-01-~ adopting Findings of Fact #_ to deny the request to <br />rezone the subject property from B-2 Business to Planned Unit Development. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Assistant Community Development Director <br /> <br />cc: .1.9.07 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-212- <br />
