Explanation
* The petitioner is requesting a deferral of this decision to the September 18, 2017 City Council Zoning Meeting. The deferral will allow an additional community meeting to be scheduled and held prior to the decision.
* The public hearing on this rezoning petition was held on May 15, 2017.
* The property is approximately 1.63 acres located on the northeast corner of Ridge Road and Prosperity Church Road. (Council District 4 - Phipps)
* The petition proposes the development of a vacant parcel in the Prosperity area with up to 5,000 square feet of eating/drinking/entertainment (EDEE) uses or other commercial uses.
* The City Council deferred the decision on this petition to August 28, as requested by the petitioner, on June 19, 2017 since not all Council members were present at the meeting.
* The Zoning Committee found the allowed uses consistent with the Prosperity Hucks Area Plan, but inconsistent with the specific recommendations of the plan. However, the petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing.
* The Zoning Committee voted 4-2 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition with the modifications noted in the Zoning Committee Recommendation.
* The minority of the Zoning Committee found the petition to not be reasonable and in the public interest because the area is the product of intentional planning and public investment over the last 20 years.
* Staff continues to recommend denial of this petition and agrees with the recommendation of the minority of the Zoning Committee.
