North 9th Avenue planned-development draft clears staff review, set for public hearing
Summary
Commission reviewed the North 9th Avenue planned-development draft, confirmed Block 9 Lot 17 must remain in the PD for contiguity, asked for a mutual access easement for interior units without direct backyard doors, and set the PD for an upcoming public hearing.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a draft planned-development (PD) ordinance for North 9th Avenue and signaled support to move the item to a public hearing after minor corrections.
City staff explained the draft lays out lot dimensions, minimum lot area, lot widths and standard setbacks for the district. Because PD parcels must be contiguous, staff said Block 9 Lot 17 was included in the PD even though its internal configuration will not change significantly. Staff also raised that two interior units lack direct access to backyards and recommended the plat include a mutual access easement so those property owners can tend rear yards.
Ron Weber, the applicant’s representative, said Lot 17 is served by a single water meter "so that one will not be sold separately," and agreed the PD and plat can document access easements and ownership constraints. "We cannot do that because it's metered with 1 water meter," Weber said when commissioners asked whether Lot 17 would be sold separately.
Commissioners asked staff to correct several template references (several places still read 'Augusta Place') and to prepare the item for a public hearing. Staff said the commission would likely hold the public hearing Jan. 16 and, if the PD proceeds, the city council would consider the item on Jan. 21.
No vote on final adoption occurred; the commission directed staff to make the edits, ensure the plat includes required easements and schedule the public hearing.
