The P & Z Commission altered some of the staff recommendation and those changes have been incorporated into the ordinance. Suggested that the applicant and Jerry and the planning staff give a brief overview of the major elements and answer any questions that the Council and the public may have. Jerry Flannery informed the Council that this item went before the Planning Commission for Public Hearing on September 30~*. The proposal was presented to staff in May of this year with 14 original request. Various meetings throughout the summer has brought the number down to 8. The items presented tonight are 8. · Item #2 - change of use on parcel 55 from medium density residential to high density as well as a corner piece going towards commercial · Item #5 - height of a proposed building on parcel 63. The request was originally for 10 stories and the final recommendation from staff and the planning commission is 7, which will be located north of Cracker Barre! and Loop Road along the interstate. blINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN COUNCIL November 3, 1998 · Item #8-to allow manufactured home sales and automobile sales in the lower area of the industrial park, which would be limited to 5 acres in size, because most of the properties in the area are less than 5 acres. Other significant items in this request is for the elimination of a connecting road. In 1996, there was an amendment that came before Council to requested approval to connect the road between Twin Peaks and Cortaro Road. That right-of-way was dedicated by the plat that established the golf course and the development around the loop road. Staff have had some discussion and recommend that the right-of-way remain in tact and that the improvement road would not be required at this time. In place of the constructed road a multipurpose trail/path will be constructed from the Southern portion of the proposed RV park to the loop road. The Planning Commission did recommend approval and is now before the Council tonight. Mike Racy, a representative for Southwest Value Partners, 535 West Burton Drive gave a presentation on the concept to the Continental Ranch Specific Plan. The overview is as follows: ·The concept at this point is to primarily have retail use South of Cor~aro Road ·Converting the manufactured home use to a luxury RV resort · Requesting that the requirement to build the link road (from the Arizona Pavilion to that property) be removed. · On the southwest corner of Cortaro/Silverbell, lot 55, currently zone for medium density residential is split into two parcels, a three acre commercial and a apartment site · Changing the zoning from medium density to high density · Deleting the requirement to build the link road · If the land uses in this area exceed the land uses in the transportation study used to arrive at the conclusion to eliminate this road. The developer will be responsible for any additional burden that's place on the infrastructure · Amend the allowable uses under freeway commercials to include health care facilities in the area · For a portion of parcel 63, amend the height to four story for residential uses · Amend residential recreational to allow recreational vehicle park · Provide sales lots for manufactured homes on the southern end of the business park Bill Schisler, 12561 North White Ave. stated that he was in favor the project and be!ieves the town would benefit both ascetically and financially.
