ITEM NO 7C:                        PCD-2 TO PCD-2; 18.938 ACRES; NORTHEAST CORNER OF W. 6TH                                  STREET & WAKARUSA DRIVE (PGP)

 

Z-07-48-05:  A request to rezone a tract of land approximately 18.938 acres from PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) District to PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) District to revise use restrictions.  The property is generally described as being located north of W. 6th Street between Wakarusa Drive and Folks Road (Bauer Farm).  Submitted by Landplan Engineering, P.A., for Free State Holdings, Inc., property owner of record. 

 

On April 27, 2005, this item was heard by the Planning Commission and tabled for four months. A copy of the April Planning Commission minutes is included with item 7D, attachment “C” (pages 7D – 26 thru 35).

 

This Item was deferred from the August/September meetings to the October Planning Commission Meeting to allow Commissioners and the public to hear a presentation on New Urbanism and to meet to allow the applicant to present development philosophy of the project to the Planning Commission. On October 12, the Planning Commission held a mid-month study session with the developer where the requested waivers and philosophy of the project were reviewed.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning of 18.938 acres from PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development – restricted uses) District to PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development – with modifications to restricted uses) District, and that the rezoning have a recommendation to keep the existing use restrictions as previously approved by the City [Z-06-19-03] per Ordinance No. 7756 with the addition of mixed-use residential (commercial/office use on first floor with residential uses allowed on upper floors) based on the findings of fact found in the body of the staff report.

 

ALTERNATIVE: Should the Planning Commission find the proposed higher-traffic generation uses as proposed by the applicant are acceptable at this location and in conjunction with an approval of the Bauer Farm Preliminary Development Plan, the Planning Commission could then forward a recommendation for approval to the City Commission, subject to the following suggested conditions:

 

  1. Approval of a Preliminary Development Plan, including approval of a downstream wastewater analysis per Section 21-706(d).
  2. Filing of a Final Plat for the property at the Register of Deeds Office.
  3. No building permit will be issued until the W. 6th Street Project is substantially completed.
  4. No one building shall be larger than 50,000 gross square feet of space.
  5. There will be no more than 62,000 gross square feet of retail commercial space in the PCD-2 portion of the Planned Unit Development.
  6. The permitted list of use per Ordinance No. 7756, as modified, be included as part of the rezoning ordinance.

 

 

Applicant’s Reason for Request:

The proposed multi-use site of offices, residences and commercial sites will allow the development of a key parcel of land to offer a unique environment in the Lawrence community (New Urbanism).

KEY POINTS

  • 18.938 acre area of PCD-2, portion of the Bauer Farm PUD, located to the west of Champion Lane right-of-way.
  • Applicant seeks to remove some of the restrictions imposed on the Planned Commercial Development with the rezoning to PCD-2 in 2003.
  • Modifications to the existing restrictions will impact the traffic generation for this area.

 

 

GOLDEN FACTORS TO CONSIDER

 

CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

·        To be in conformance with the comprehensive and area plan, the rezoning of this portion of the property needs to have restrictions imposed.

 

RELATIVE GAIN TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Current Zoning and Land Use:                  PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Zoning District with specific restrictions); Undeveloped, unplatted, with no previously approved planned unit development on the property.

 

Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:             RS-1 (Single-Family Residential) District to the north; Existing across Overland Drive – Free State High School.

 

                                                          PRD-2 (Planned Residential Development) District to the east; Undeveloped, currently used for agricultural crop production.

 

                                                          PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) District to the south; Across W. 6th Street, existing commercial retail.

 

                                                          PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) District to the west; Undeveloped.

 

Reason for Request:                               Applicant’s Response -“The proposed multi-use site                                                          of offices, residences           and commercial sites will                                                                 allow the development of a key parcel of land to                                                              offer a unique environment in the Lawrence                                                                    community (New Urbanism).”

 

The applicant is proposing to modify the previous PCD-2 restrictions which were placed upon this property by a rezoning request brought forward by the City.

 

The Bauer Farm Preliminary Development Plan includes 5 eating establishments with drive-thrus, 2 banks with drive-thrus, 1 auto service with a pull-thru and a hotel/conference center. Ordinance No. 7756 was approved with restrictions limiting uses to lower traffic generators. The proposing uses and drive-thrus will create a much higher traffic generation than what was previously approved.

 

I.         ZONING AND USES OF PROPERTY NEARBY

 

Staff Finding - The subject property is located at the northeast corner of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive. The property is bounded by Overland Drive to the north, W. 6th Street to the south, Champion Lane (right-of-way) to the east, and Wakarusa Drive to the west. The site is within the incorporated city limits of the City of Lawrence.

 

There is a wide variety of land uses and zoning patterns surrounding the subject property.  Nearby development patterns occur in various stages ranging from undeveloped lands to the east and west, and commercial retail and office development across W.6th Street/Highway 40 to the south. Public and institutional uses are located to the north and northwest of the property. Multiple-family residential is located to the northeast of the property.

 

Zoning patterns around the property include RS-1 (Single-family Residence) to the north; PRD-2 (Planned Residential Development) to the east; PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) to the south and west.

 

II.       CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD

 

The subject property is within the City limits. Located across Overland Drive to the north is Free State High School.  The requested rezoning is within the 43-acre proposed Bauer Farm Planned Unit Development, which is being heard in conjunction with this application.

 

Located to the south across West 6th Street is a variety of commercial and office uses including a bank, fast food restaurant, auto service center, video rental store, supermarket, and a shopping center offering a variety of goods and services.  The area to the west across Wakarusa Drive is also zoned PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development).

 

Staff Finding - The subject property is surrounded by a variety of uses at urban development intensity.  These uses include commercial, office, and public/institutional development.  Those areas that do remain undeveloped are quickly developing or are planned to be developed in the near future.

 

 

III.      SUITABILITY OF SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR THE USES TO WHICH IT HAS BEEN RESTRICTED

 

Applicant’s Response, “The property was previously suited to agricultural use, but is now surrounded by development.”

 

Appropriateness of modifying the restrictions placed on this PCD-2 (Planned Residential Development) Designation.

 

The PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) District with permitted uses as indicated per Ordinance No. 7756 would still be appropriate for this property. However, as part of the Bauer Farm PUD, the applicant is proposing to use the PCD-2 portions of the property for more intense traffic generating uses including five eating establishments with drive-thru services, two banks with drive-thru services, automotive servicing with a pull thru, and a hotel/convention center.

 

 

Staff Finding - In staff’s opinion, the property is still suitable for the permitted uses as listed in Zoning Ordinance No. 7756, initiated by the City, and approved by the City Commission in 2004.

 

IV.       LENGTH OF TIME SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS REMAINED VACANT AS ZONED

 

Staff Finding - The subject property was rezoned to PCD-2 in 2004. Prior to 2004, it had been zoned A (Agricultural) District since 1966.  It was annexed into the City in 1995.

 

V.        EXTENT TO WHICH REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS WILL DETRIMENTALLY AFFECT NEARBY PROPERTY

 

Applicant’s Response, “No detriment to nearby property will occur. This will present a new type of development (New Urbanism) to the Lawrence community.”

         

Staff Finding -  Removal of the existing PCD-2 restriction and rezoning to PCD-2 with modified restrictions which would allow for a greater traffic generation, would increase the potential traffic generation by this property. A revised traffic study that includes the proposed uses would quantify the amount of traffic that the proposed new uses would attract.

 

VI.       RELATIVE GAIN TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE BY THE DESTRUCTION OF THE VALUE OF THE PETITIONER’S PROPERTY AS COMPARED TO THE HARDSHIP IMPOSED UPON THE INDIVIDUAL LANDOWNERS

 

Applicant’s Response, “No gain to the public will result by denial of the subject request, and no hardship will result by approval.”

 

Evaluation of this criterion weighs the benefits to the community-at-large versus the benefits to the owners of the subject property.  Benefits are measured based on the anticipated impacts of the rezoning request on the public's health, safety and welfare.

 

Typically, property within the city limits that is zoned for commercial uses has a higher value than property zoned for residential use.  Rezoning the subject property from PCD-2 to PCD-2 with additional permitted uses will better facilitate the development of the subject property within the context of the proposed Bauer Farm Planned Unit Development.

 

The existing restriction that no building permit be issued until W. 6th Street Project is substantially completed was previously required to ensure that the necessary road infrastructure will be in place to handle the amount of traffic that was to be generated by the subject property.  Approval of the requested permitted uses will result in an increase in future traffic at a higher rate than what was anticipated with Ordinance No. 7756.

 

Staff Finding - The rezoning of this land will not destroy the value of the subject property or impose a hardship on the landowner, but would facilitate the potential for a more successful project for the developer.  A change in permitted uses of higher traffic generators, will result in an increase in the future traffic near this location, and along W. 6th Street.

 

VII.     CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

 

An evaluation of the conformance of this rezoning request with the City’s Comprehensive Plan is based on the goals, policies and recommendations in Horizon 2020 and upon the approved W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive Nodal Plan. The following are reference sections of Horizon 2020:

 

Chapter 6 Commercial Land Use

Community Commercial Center (under 200,000 commercial gross square footage): CC200 (Chapter 6 – Page 6)

West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive (6-15 & 16)

 

Page 6-16, W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive, The intersection of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive is an existing Community Commercial Center limited to 200,000 square feet of commercial gross square footage (CC200 Center) with a nodal development pattern.  While this intersection is designated a CC200 Center, there already exists more commercial gross square footage at the intersection than is recommended for a CC200 Center.

 

Portions of the intersection of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive are still developing.  However, the southern half of the intersection is completely developed and shall not be expanded beyond the existing commercially zoned property.  The northern half of the intersection is undeveloped.  Commercial development of this portion of the intersection shall not extend beyond Overland Drive (extended) to the north, Congressional Drive (extended) to the west; and Champion Lane (extended) to the east.  Development proposals for the northern portions of the intersection shall include not only commercial uses, but also a variety of other uses including office, community, recreational and multi-family uses.

 

Criteria for Community Commercial Centers (under 200,000 square feet) (6-32)

 

Require a Market Impact Analysis (6-36 & 37)

The applicant has provided a Market Impact Study for this project. The market study indicates the commercial project can be absorbed into the community within three years from completion, and that it would not result in a community wide retail vacancy rate of greater than eight percent.

 

AREA PLAN - W. 6th/WAKARUSA DRIVE

 

The following information comes from AN AREA PLAN FOR THE INTERSECTION AREA OF WEST 6TH STREET & WAKARUSA DRIVE. The plan was approved by the Lawrence City Commission on December 2, 2003.

 

The West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive study area is anticipated to evolve into one of the more prominent commercial centers of the community.  The Lawrence City Commission has directed City staff to ensure new development at this intersection area is appropriate for the surrounding neighborhoods and also within the context of the entire community.  The City Commission has also directed City staff to ensure that new development is compatible with existing development located within and adjacent to the intersection area.  Any development proposals for this intersection will come under close scrutiny to ensure this direction is abided by.  The following land use recommendations regarding the development of the West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive study area are based on the analysis of the above identified existing conditions and envisioned future of this intersection area.  In addition to the recommendations below, it is recommended that no building permits be issued for the study area until the West 6th Street Improvement Project is substantially completed.

 

The Area East of Wakarusa Drive

 

The area located east of Wakarusa Drive (the northeast corner of the West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive intersection) is recommended as most appropriate for commercial development of a non-retail focus.  As three (3) corners of this intersection are likely to develop as retail centers, it is recommended the remaining corner incorporate less-intensive commercial development.  This corner is in closest proximity to the high school complex and indoor aquatic center to the north and adjacent residential neighborhoods to the northeast.  It is recommended the existing A, Agricultural, zoning designation be rezoned to PCD-2 with restrictions.  The restriction being that the development of this corner of the intersection incorporate some kind of recreational commercial use, mixed-use office-residential activity, public or semi-public/institutional use, or other such use or activity that can be demonstrated as having a less intensive impact on traffic patterns and surrounding land use activities and neighborhoods.  It is also recommended that up to 62,000 gross square feet would be permissible for retail commercial use if planned as part of an overall development plan incorporating a mix of uses that are designed to be pedestrian-friendly. [Emphasis added]

 

Additional Recommendations

 

It is also recommended that the total allowable retail commercial square footage be limited to 440,000 gsf for the four corners of the West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive intersection.  In the event the approved development plan for 154,000 gsf on the northwest corner of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive expires or otherwise becomes null and void, the total square footage allowed at the intersection will be reduced to 420,000 gsf.  A breakdown of square footage allocation is illustrated in the table below.

 

Total Square Footage Allowed

440,000gsf*

420,000gsf+

Southside of West 6th Street (existing development)

224,000gsf

224,000gsf

Northwest Corner of West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive

154,000gsf

136,000gsf

Northeast Corner of West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive

62,000gsf

60,000gsf

Note: * = with approved development plan on northwest corner; + = without approved plan

 

 

Staff FindingTo be in conformance with the comprehensive and area plan, the rezoning of this portion of the property needs to have restrictions consistent with a less intensive commercial development. The permitted uses being that the development of this corner of the intersection incorporate some kind of recreational commercial use, mixed-use office-residential activity, public or semi-public/institutional use, or other such use or activity that can be demonstrated as having a less intensive impact on traffic patterns and surrounding land use activities and neighborhoods. The adopted plan for the area (An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive) places limitations on the amount and recommended location of commercial space.

 

STAFF REVIEW

 

The adopted plan for the area uses Champion Lane right-of-way as a stopping point for the commercial zoning and as a separation between the recommended residential and commercial uses for this undeveloped area. The area plan did not envision or take into account a New Urbanism, mixed-use commercial/office/residential, approach to this property.

 

The mixed-use commercial/residential nature of the west half of the development plan and the proposed community theater use (which is allowed in residential subject to an approved Use Permit upon Review) would provide some justification for the expansion of mixed-use commercial/office/residential into a portion of the previously zoned Planned Residential Development area on the east side of Champion Lane, zoning request [Z-03-17-05].

 

This rezoning request has been submitted in conjunction with the Bauer Farm Planned Unit Development.  Attention needs to be taken in the design and approval of the development plan, to ensure that the W. 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive Commercial Center does not become, nor have the appearance of, a commercial strip along W. 6th Street.

 

The rezoning request should be contingent upon the approval of a Preliminary Development Plan and filing of a Final Plat. The same zoning use restrictions that have or will be placed on this portion of the PCD-2 area should also be required on the proposed adjacent PCD-2 rezoning [Z-3-17-05]. A copy of the prior PCD-2 rezoning, Ordinance No. 7756, is attached (attachment “B”). The existing PCD-2 restrictions also require that building permits can not be issued until the W. 6th Street Project is substantially completed, no one building shall be larger than 50,000 gross square feet, and that there will be no more than 62,000 gross square feet of retail commercial space for the northeast corner of W. 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive.

 

The applicant is proposing use restrictions as listed in attachment “A”. The existing use restrictions are listed in attachment “B”. Ordinance No. 7756 was approved with lower traffic generating uses than what is now being sought.

 

Additional uses per the proposed Preliminary Development Plan which would not currently be allowed include:

 

 

Staff is concerned with the proposed increase in traffic generating uses that are being proposed with this project and that allowing for 7 drive-thru businesses a pull-thru automotive service and a hotel/convention center is too intense as per the previously approved Area Plan and City requested rezoning restrictions.

 

Staff is of the opinion that Ordinance No. 7756 could be modified to include allowance for the following additional uses:

 

          Under Use Group 4 Multiple-family Residential

 

          Under Use Group 12. Retail Sales

·         Antique sales
