Staff recommends approval of Oakland Town Center rezoning and PUD package
Summary
Town staff told the Advance Review Board that the Oakland Town Center rezoning, development agreement and preliminary subdivision plan for about 14.80 acres substantially comply with code and staff recommended approval of Ordinance 20 26 0 5. The board discussed design, signage and stormwater constraints.
The Advance Review Board heard a presentation of Ordinance 20 26 0 5, a package to rezone roughly 14.80 acres for the Oakland Town Center to a Planned Unit Development, and staff recommended the board approve the ordinance.
Taylor, a town staff presenter, summarized the package as a three-part request: the PUD zoning change, a development agreement that creates site-specific standards, and a preliminary subdivision plan that will govern final engineering. Taylor said the development agreement both permits specific uses (commercial retail, office, restaurants with a single drive-through, educational and clinic uses) and forbids others, including tobacco/smoke shops and marijuana dispensaries. "The applicant's proposal is presented substantially compliant with the town of Oakland's development code and the design district requirements," Taylor said, and recommended approval of ordinance 20 26 0 5.
Staff explained the subdivision plan and development agreement will be the governing references for final construction review and that some standards in the agreement intentionally deviate from the general land development code where negotiated, for example allowing a greater maximum commercial building width in select instances. The presentation also listed next steps: final engineering, building permit-level elevation review and any required external permits (e.g., water management).
