52. Regular Meeting October 9, 2000 Page 4 Mayor Chiu opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. Jack Weatherford stated he has negotiated for six years on the development of his property, and the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended this land use, and hopefully the zoning afterwards will be approved. John McBride stated he is opposed to this land use change. He prefers the City consider Ron Patterson's proposed Option 8. He thinks there are differences that still need to be addressed, and this property needs PDD zoning. Camille Phillips stated she supports John McBride's comments and wants the Council to deny this land use if the property is not zoned PDD. The Wonder World extension will mean RR12 will be less than an arterial road. The businesses at Crestwood have changed over numerous times, and there needs to be a better solution for this development. Rolland Hesalroad representing the Greater Castle Forest Neighborhood stated much has been said in prior meetings regarding this area. He wants everyone to consider how this development will impact future generations. Sherwood Bishop stated there is no guarantee there will not be apartments on this tract, and the area residents do not want more apartments. He stated Option 8 Mr. McBride mentioned earlier is a good option. He asked the Council not to approve this item. Joe Schneider stated he is a landowner within 200 feet of this property and is opposed to this land use change. No one else wished to speak, so Mayor Chiu closed the public hearing. Mr. Doiron moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Moseley seconded the motion. Ms. Hughson inquired where the 30 foot strip to be public land is proposed, and Mr. Gilley stated it will serve as a buffer adjacent to Ranch Road 12 along the property line, or could be dedicated to the City to be zoned Public. Ms. Hughson stated to Dr. Weatherford the medium density would allow for apartments. Mr. Patterson stated the City has a subdivision master plan on file for this property. Ms. Hughson pointed out that many times land use and zoning matters are done simultaneously, and this one is not. Mr. Cox asked Mr. Gilley if the land use matter before the Council would guarantee there will be no apartments built at this location, and Mr. Gilley stated no, that medium density allows for some multi-family development. Mr. Cox asked how the buffer along Ranch Road 12 would work. Mr. Patterson replied under the City's existing curb cuts, the Weatherford project would allow for multiple curb cuts. Mr. Doiron stated Dr. Weatherford is saying he will not put up apartments, and the City should take him at his word as a gentleman. The zoning is still to come and the City will still regulate what is placed on the land. Mr. Doiron stated the Council is not going to allow apartments when the neighborhood has stated they do not want them. Mr. Gilley stated the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the commercial request. In order to change the zoning, the zoning needs to be reconsidered by the Planning and Zoning Commission, but is not a substantial enough difference from the original request that has already been denied. If this land use is approved, this would allow Dr. Weatherford's zoning to move forward with the Planning and Zoning Commission. This commercial development would be 10 acres as compared to Crestwood being 2 to 3 acres. Mr. Cox asked Mr. Patterson what businesses would be allowed, and Mr. Patterson stated most retail businesses would be allowed on commercial property, and limited business zoning would not allow drive-through types of businesses
