A. Z25-005 Public Hearing - Zoning Amendment - Z25-005 - Allow changes to the currently approved site plan as well as an increase in building heights – Land Lot 700 – 1.95 acres – 3400-3420 Archerfield Way – Traton Homes Ward 3 Councilmember - Travis Lindley Councilmember Glenn Pickens recused himself and left Council Chambers at 7:19 PM. Joe Bennett, City Administrator, provided the following brief background: The subject property 3400 - 3420 Archerfield Way (Archerfield Subdivision) was rezoned from NS (Neighborhood Shopping) to RDA-Conditional in 2021 (Z21-006) to allow a subdivision with twelve (12) single-family detached homes. The site work for the development has been completed and the applicant is requesting a zoning amendment to allow an increase in building height as well as reductions to driveway length and building setbacks to build the new homes. Russell Martin, Community Development Director, provided the following background: The applicant is requesting a zoning amendment for an increase in height, as well as setback and driveway length reductions. Community Development has reviewed the zoning amendment request considering the following changes to the original zoning approval (221-006): 1. Allow an increase in building height from 35 feet to 38 feet for Lots 1-12. (Staff Supports) 2. Allow a front setback reduction from 20 feet to 17 feet for Lot 1. (Staff Supports) 3. Allow a front setback reduction from 20 feet to 19 feet for Lot 2. (Staff Supports) 4. Allow a reduction of the minimum driveway length from 22 feet to 20 feet for Lots 1-3. (Staff Supports) 5. Allow a rear setback reduction from 10 feet to O feet for Lots 1-12. (Staff Supports) The zoning amendment does not require modification of the Future Land Use Plan from MEDR (Medium Density Residential). Community Development has reviewed the proposed zoning amendment and believes the changes meet the intent of the plan approved for rezoning and should have no negative impact to the adjacent properties. Additionally, the setback reductions are necessary due to the right-of way dedication required for the lots facing Campbell Road. Community Development Staff is supportive of the zoning amendment request. Community Development recommends approval of the zoning amendment to rezoning case 221-006 for an increase in building height as well as reductions to setbacks and driveway lengths with the following conditions: Standard Conditions (Requirement #2, 8, 16 and 17 from Section 1201 of the Zoning Code is not applicable}
