Staff Recommendation

RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE GC (General Commercial) Sector Plan designation on the north side and LDR (Low Density Residential) Sector Plan designation on the south side.

---

This tract is 6.5 acres and is located on the north side of Tillery Road, south of Clinton Highway and west of Wilson Road. The land use designation was changed as a result of the 2015 Northwest City Sector Plan update from LDR (Low Density Residential) to MDR (Medium Density Residential).

In developing the sector plan, staff followed parcel lines and tried not to split parcels. The change in the proposed land use pattern pertaining to this area resulted from following parcel lines and not splitting parcels. There is currently a natural tree lined buffer along the rear of (Parcels 080DB00501 and 080DB006) that abut LDR (Low Density Residential) along Harmony Lane. By amending the rear portion of the proposed land use to LDR (Low Density Residential) these properties will maintain their buffer.

The north side of Parcel 080DB012 is used commercially by Clayton Motors and Fenton Nissan. This parcel is currently designated as GC (General Commercial) towards Clinton Highway) and LDR (Low Density Residential) towards Tillery Road. Due to its size (10.1 acres), the adjacent existing land uses change from commercial along Clinton Highway to single-family residential along Tillery Road. As a result, the mapping of this parcel were in error and should have been split to include all existing commercial uses within the GC (General Commercial) designation and the vacant undeveloped portions of the parcel (towards Tillery Road) to LDR (Low Density Residential). This will maintain the buffer between the commercial uses and adjacent neighborhood.

The parcels to the east, closest to Wilson Road (080DB013 and 080DB01901) have commercial frontage on Clinton Highway and do not have any commercial use or access along Tillery Road. As a result, the mapping should have split these parcels, so LDR (Low Density Residential) would be along Tillery Road.
