The petitioner is requesting a modification to the previously approved Master Plan to incorporate three additional residential lots. This revision is driven by a strategic change in site utilization; land originally reserved as a singular private estate by the prior owner is now being integrated into the broader development pattern. The proposed layout maintains a highly sustainable density of 1.45 dwelling units per acre, ensuring the project remains compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. While the petitioner has established a generous minimum lot size of 17,475 square feet (116.5’ x 150.0’), the majority of the parcels will exceed these dimensions, preserving the premium, spacious feel of the original design. |

| GENERAL LOCATION | Southeast side of Cortez Boulevard approximately 1,505 feet to Winter Street |
| PARCEL KEY NUMBER(S) | 1215483, 1001720 |
| APPLICANT’S REQUEST |
The petitioner is requesting a rezoning from PDP(GC)/ Planned Development Project (General Commercial) and C-2 (General Commercial) to PDP(GC)/ Planned Development Project (General Commercial) to allow the redevelopment of the site with an upscale restaurant and the potential development of a future secondary commercial building. The proposed construction of the property will not exceed 30,000 square feet with a maximum building height of 45 feet. The subject property currently contains a 1,998-square-foot professional office building and a 1,680-square-foot warehouse, formerly occupied by the Salvation Army. The proposed restaurant will be located towards Cortez Boulevard (SR 50) to maximize visibility and will utilize the existing access point along Cortez Boulevard for ingress and egress. A second commercial building is proposed on the southern portion of the site, where the current Salvation Army buildings and parking area is located. Parking for the restaurant will be situated between the two proposed building areas, and stormwater retention is planned for the northeastern corner of the property. The petitioner has indicated that existing vegetation along the northern, southern, and eastern property lines will be retained to serve as natural buffers. Although the site borders Arizona Street, no access to this roadway is proposed. A deviation is requested to allow this, supporting the preservation of a continuous buffer between the development and adjacent rural residential lots. Majority of the site was previously cleared for the Salvation Army development. Existing structures are proposed to be removed during redevelopment but may be used temporarily during the transition. |
