Commission recommends OL rezoning and approves Rivergate 101 preliminary plat with floodplain protections
Summary
The commission voted 8-0 to recommend rezoning ±9.58 acres to OL (Z-7799) and approved the Rivergate 101 preliminary plat (6 lots) after discussion of traffic, light pollution and floodplain/reserve area protections; the applicant said the office lots would generate fewer vehicle trips than a 20–30-home subdivision.
The commission on Dec. 4 recommended approval of Z-7799 (rezoning from AG and RS-3 to OL) and approved the Rivergate 101 preliminary plat (6 lots, ±9.58 acres). Staff supported the comprehensive plan amendment CPA-116 to change the land-use designation from Neighborhood to Multiple Use, citing a nearby Local Center and commercial corridor context; both the rezoning recommendation and the plat passed 8-0.
Neighbors raised concerns about traffic near schools, potential for future higher-density housing, and stormwater/floodplain impacts. In response the applicant said the proposal would create "six office light residential lots that are roughly an acre" and argued this "would generate a lot less traffic than a residential neighborhood" of roughly 20–30 homes. The preliminary plat includes reserve areas to preserve floodplain and TAC conditions require infrastructure permits, potential CLOMR/LOMR floodplain procedures if modifications are proposed, and sanitation/water extensions or easements as needed. Commission approval was conditioned by standard TAC/IDP requirements and the need for a City release letter prior to final plat.
