ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
Agenda Item 3-Ordinance 1217-2nd Reading -Pack Zone Change
Ron Pack has requested a zone change from RA-1 to RA-2 on
property he owns South of Two Mile Drive and West of Meridian
Road. The matter was considered by the Planning Commission and
received no recommendation because of a tie vote. The primary
concern of the Commission was that the intent section of RA-2
states: "This District is intended for central and inner-city
use and not for suburban use." However, according to the FRDO
report the Master Plan designates the property as "High Density
Residential". Therefore to zone the property RA-2 would be in
conformance with the Master Plan. The practical effect of
granting the zone change would be to allow almost a doubling of
the density permitted under RA-1. Staff has requested a text
amendment to delete reference to "central and inner-city" under
the intent language of the RA-2 zone.
Agenda Item 4-Resolution 4198-Authorize the Sale of Lots -
Woodland Court Project
As you are aware the City has received preliminary plat approval
to create 24 single family lots on our 7 acre parcel of property
located off of South Woodland Drive. It is our intent to
utilize the lots created and improved to make property available
to low income first time home buyers meeting certain eligibility
requirements.
3
The proposed project, because it is directed at low income home
buyers, will require that individual lots be sold at less than
fair market value. The purpose of this resolution is to
establish a market value of $6,000 per lot and authorize staff
to sell the lots to qualified buyers with the proceeds of the
sale to be used to acquire property for 20 more units of low
income housing for first time home buyers. Staff recommends
favorable Council consideration of this resolution.
Agenda Item 5-Resolution 4199-Authorize Redevelopment Agreement
with Bee Broadcasting
Resolution 4199 would authorize the City to enter into a
redevelopment agreement with Bee Broadcasting for the purpose of
selling and developing a project on the Liberty Theater lot
consistent with Bee Broadcasting's proposal. At this writing
Larry Gallagher and a representative from Bee Broadcasting are
meeting to determine the specifics of the sale price and the
particulars of the proposed project. The details of the
resolution may not be available until Monday evening.
