Memorandum

 

 

TO:         Members of the City Commission

 

FROM:     Jeff Tully, City/County Planner

 

RE:          Crown Chevrolet/Toyota Preliminary Development Plan

 

DATE:      July 20, 2004

 

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the City Commission with information regarding revisions to the submitted Preliminary Development Plan for Crown Chevrolet/Toyota and Crown Pre-Owned Cars. At its June 23, 2004 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 9-0 to approve both the Rezoning (Z-05-20-04) and the Preliminary Development Plan (PDP-05-04-04) for Crown Chevrolet/Toyota and Crown Pre-Owned Cars, 3400 Iowa Street, subject to conditions.

 

On June 29, 2004, the Planning Office received word from the applicant that, “Due to circumstances beyond our Client's control on the Crown project we are needing to make a slight modification to the submitted Preliminary Development Plan.” These modifications will increase by more than 10 percent the total floor area proposed for commercial uses as identified in the following summary:

 

Crown Preliminary Development Plan

 

As Approved by the Planning Commission:        Proposed Buildings:         85,259 s.f.

 

As Revised for the City Commission:               Proposed Buildings:         100,300 s.f.

 

Percentage of Change:                                Proposed Buildings:         18%

 

 

POSSIBLE ACTIONS:  

 

The City Commission may take the following action on the Preliminary Development Plan:

 

1.       Approve the Planning Commission-approved Preliminary Development Plan         (without revisions);

 

2.       “Receive” the revised Preliminary Development Plan but because of the increase in square footage, send it back to the Planning Commission with instructions for consideration of approval;

 

3.       Approve the revised Preliminary Development Plan (with revisions) without Planning Commission consideration on a 4-1 or 5-0 vote;

 

4.       Deny the Preliminary Development Plan with revised findings.   

 

The applicant hopes to schedule the Final Development Plan for the August 25, 2004 Planning Commission meeting to maintain an early fall construction schedule.  If you have any questions regarding the content of this memorandum, please feel free to contact me directly at 832-3165.   

 

Thank you.
