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.
