Subject: (ZC0204-10) Request to amend Condition #2 of Ordinance 00-96
In April 2002, an application was submitted by Lullwater Apartments, LLC to
amend Ordinance 00-96 as outlined in the attached report. Twenty-eight (28)
property owners within 300 feet were notified of the rezoning request. The
Planning Division received comments on this rezoning request.
The Planning Advisory Commission recommended that Condition #2 of Ordinance
00-96 (?Access to Franklin Drive / Cooper Creek Road shall be denied until such
time a traffic signal is installed at the intersection of Veterans Parkway and
Cooper Creek Road.?) be amended. The recommended conditions are: 1) access to
Franklin Drive / Cooper Creek Road shall be denied until such time a site
distance is cleared at the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Cooper Creek
Road and 2) access to Franklin Drive / Cooper Creek Road shall be restricted to
construction traffic until such time a traffic signal is installed at the
intersection of Veterans Parkway and Cooper Creek Road.
The Planning Division concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Advisory
Commission.
Respectfully,
Richard Bishop
Deputy City Manager
