body
STAFF: Ron Ruthven, Director of Development and Planning
EXPLANATION:
The property owner, Westlake Retail Associates, Ltd., is requesting approval of a concept plan for 16.38 acres located between SH114/170 and Schwab Way. The subject property is zoned PD3-5A and is currently undeveloped. Ordinance 769, approving the PD3-5A development, requires the approval of a concept plan, development plan and site plan on the property prior to the issuance of building permits.
CONCEPT PLAN PURPOSE:
The purpose of the attached concept plan is to determine the street and lot layout of the future development and to approve the preliminary site evaluation such that detailed engineering design may proceed. The future development plan and site plans for the property will include additional details such as specific land uses, building massing and details, parking locations and landscaping.
The applicant intends to develop a mix of uses in the development that includes office, retail, restaurants and a hotel. Residential uses are not proposed as part of this phase of development and are not shown on the concept plan. A concept plan is normally approved with the initial PD zoning ordinance. However, Ordinance 769 was approved subject to the future approval of a concept plan because the PD3-5A district was created by subdividing the original PD3-5 zoning district to accommodate the Schwab development in the PD3-5B zoning district. Therefore, a concept plan for the PD3-5A zoning district was not ready at that time. The PD3-5A zoning district includes 45.6 acres of land. The proposed concept plan includes only the first phase of development (16.38 acres) in the district.
