Items 10A – 10C were discussed simultaneously.

 

STAFF PRESENTATION

Ms. Day introduced the items, which all reflected changes being made in the field as the development evolved.  Building permits have been issued for a both the Wal-Mart redevelopment and the Chevrolet/Toyota project.

 

Staff explained a center portion of the development had C-5 zoning, which would allow the development to proceed as proposed.  However, it would be ‘cleaner’ to revise the zoning boundaries to follow the lines of the development plan and plat, which had changed during negotiations between Wal-Mart and Crown Toyota.

 

Staff recommended approval of all three items, with conditions as listed in the Staff Reports.

 

APPLICANT PRESENTATION

John Hampton spoke on behalf of the applicants, saying these requests stemmed from a change in plans.  The original intent to demolish a portion of the existing building was now modified, and the building was to be left in its current state for the Crown Toyota use.  This required revisions to the proposed driveway that in turn required additional land to accommodate the drive.  A trade had been achieved with the adjacent Wal-Mart property and the items on tonight’s agenda were intended to reflect that change:

 

·         Reflect new property boundaries;

·         Make zoning of all land consistent with the project to which it now belonged;

·         Allow retention of the entire Chevrolet building; and

·         Allow entryway (no exit) from west into property at front of buildings.
