City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 10 of 14 He stated an incorrect application page was included in the packet; the correct page in is in the packet addendum. Additionally, comments from earlier meetings with the Open Space Advisory Board and the Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board were inadvertently left out of the packet. Those will be added to the packet for February 20 and will be clearly labeled as such. Director Zuccaro reviewed the location and the history of the site noting it totals just under 400 acres and was formerly the home of the Storage Technology with approximately 1.5 million square feet of industrial development previous to 2009. ConocoPhillips purchased the property in 2009 and demolished the existing buildings. ConocoPhilips received approval to rezone the property to Planned Community Zone District (PCZD); this required the adoption of a General Development Plan (GDP) which defines all the allowed uses on the site. They also received approval of a zoning agreement, preliminary PUD, and plat. The PUD and plat have since expired. The 2010 GDP does not expire and it and the zoning code are what currently govern this site. Tonight's application is for a subdivision plat. This does not define uses or zoning standards only how to divide the property to redevelop it under the existing GDP. There was a 2021 development proposal to amend the GDP asking to allow a different set of uses, different density, and other proposals. That GDP amendment was approved by the City Council but later overturned by referendum in 2022. In 2021, a Metro District Service plan was also approved for the site. The 2010 GDP and zoning continue to govern the site. The applicant is requesting a new subdivision plat under the governing 2010 GDP. A plat establishes lots, blocks and tracts of land for development. It establishes rights of way and easements; and it includes public purpose land dedications. There is also a subdivision improvement agreement for installation of public infrastructure (roads, water, sewer). It does not determine or influence allowed land uses, density, building heights or zoning standards. Director Zuccaro noted both a preliminary and final plat are required in the City's process; this is the preliminary plat and staff feels all of the requirements are met for this process except building heights. Asking for building heights is an old requirement, by practice now building heights are set by PUD so staff is not worried about this omission. Council could put a note on the plat related to building heights if it so wishes. The preliminary plat sets out public purpose lands, lots, blocks and tracts of land; rights of ways and easements, and preliminary utility and drainage plans. The final plat will then address the subdivision improvement agreement; the final streets; landscaping; grading and drainage plans; final easement vacations; and the metro district service plan amendment. At final plat approvals from some other jurisdictions will be needed.
