 A. COW2026-008 Review of the February 16, 2026 Mayor and Council meeting notice and 
agenda 
 
Z25-015: Russell Martin, Community Development Director, provided the following 
background: 
  
The applicant is requesting a zoning amendment of Z21-014 to revise the site plan and 
elevations within the existing MU-Conditional zoning district. The plan reflects a 5,023 sq. 
ft. drive-thru restaurant and 45 townhomes at a density of 10 units per acre. 
  
Staff Recommendation: Approval of the zoning amendment to revise the site plan and 
elevations of Z21-014 within the MU-Conditional (Mixed Use) zoning district. Planning & 
Zoning Commission: Approve by a vote of 3-2 at the January 5, 2026, meeting. 
  
The proposed development will decrease the density and floor area of the previously 
approved plan. There are 45 townhome units proposed, which would reduce the 
residential density from approximately 25 units per acre to 10 units per acre. Additionally, 
a single drive-thru restaurant is proposed which would reduce the commercial area from 
20,409 sq. ft. to 5,023 sq. ft. and reduce the overall required parking from 369 spaces to 
172 spaces.
