Home Browse Search

Regarding transportation, the site has frontage on multiple roadways, including Bailey Hill Road to the east, Dani, Janisse and Wallis Streets to the west and a stub to Logan Lane on the south. With approval of the concurrent plan amendment, the corresponding zoning as proposed will also comply with Goal 12/TPR requirements. As noted in the applicant’ s materials, future th development of the subject site will include the construction of West 13 Avenue between Bailey Hill Road and Wallis Street, and a possible connection to Janisse Street to the east and Logan Street to the south. Future development of this property will require a TIA at the time of development, subject to EC 9.8650 though EC 9.8680.The applicant’s analysis also includes th proposed off-site improvements, such as a turn-pocket at 11 Avenue/Bailey Hill and a signal at th 13 Avenue/Bailey Hill; however, mitigation requirements will be based on an actual future development proposal and TIA review. The remaining, additional facilities and services noted above are available to serve future development under the proposed zoning, given its location within the incorporated City limits. The proposed /PD overlay zoning will further ensure the orderly extension of key urban services and facilities through a comprehensive and coordinated review to serve future development of the subject site. EC 9.8865(4): The proposed zone change is consistent with the applicable siting requirements set out for the specific zone in: (q) EC 9.4715 /WP Waterside Protection Overlay Zone Siting Requirements. As noted at EC 9.4715, the /WP overlay zone applies to streams, rivers, channels, ponds and other water features and adjacent areas that meet the approval criteria of EC 9.8865 and that are specified for protection in an adopted plan, as described in EC 9.4720. As noted above, the /WP overlay zone was previously applied to Tax Lot 1400 of the subject property, to protect the Amazon Channel as specified in the WEWP. Consistent with this adopted plan and applicable siting requirements, /WP overlay zoning will remain in place as part of the zone change. There are no other relevant siting requirements for the proposed zone change identified under this approval criterion. However, the proposal also adds /PD overlay zoning to the site as proposed by the applicant, consistent with applicability provisions in EC 9.4310 and EC 9.8860(2). EC 9.8865(5): In cases where the NR zone is applied based on EC 9.2510(3), the property owner shall enter into a contractual arrangement with the city to ensure the area is maintained as a natural resource area for a minimum of 50 years. The NR zone is not requested or applicable in this instance. Therefore, this criterion does not apply. Findings – Rexius Site/Amazon Meadows Page 14
