BACKGROUND:

Ordinance 1st Reading:  7/0

Ordinance 2nd Reading:  7/0

 

The RC Ranch Business Park is located west of Enzi Drive, just north of West Shoshone Avenue. The 3.54 acre property is accessed via Running W Drive. The RC Ranch Business Park was established by S&S Builders, LLC, and was proposed in 2007 to be developed in three phases. The first phase would be the construction of units on Lots 1-5. On October 8, 2007, the Planning Commission approved the Preliminary PUD (Planned Unit Development) Plat and Draft Ordinance for the proposed RC Ranch Business Park I. A month later, on November 13, 2007, the Planning Commission approved the Final PUD Plat and Ordinance for the same area. In December 2007, the City Council approved Ordinance 3528 establishing the PUD Zoning for RC Ranch Business Park I, and on July 31, 2008, the Final PUD Plat for the RC Ranch Business Park I was recorded along with Ordinance 3528. This led to the development of Lots 1-5 of the RC Ranch Business Park. The second phase of development began in 2015. On November 24, 2015, the Planning Commission approved the Amended PUD Plat for RC Ranch Business Park I; subsequent to that on December 15, 2015, the City Council approved the aforementioned plat and revised Ordinance 3880. That Amended PUD Plat was recorded with the ordinance on December 22, 2015. This led to the resubdivision of Lot 6 into Lots 6A, 6B, and 6C. Those lots have since been developed. The third phase of this development is before you today and proposes to resubdivide Lot 7 into five lots, Lots 7A through 7E.

The RC Ranch Business Park Planned Unit Development is a professionally planned commercial project that fosters design flexibility and compatible diversity in a single project site. All aspects of the proposed Second Amended PUD Plat adhere to the original PUD Ordinance established in 2007. This Second Amended PUD Plat will not change the Ordinance or the Declaration of Protective Covenants that were recorded with the original PUD. However, both documents must be amended to include the newly proposed Lots 7A through 7E.

The utilities for the proposed Lots 7A through 7E are in place however minor adjustments to service lines have been requested, these improvements will require that a Service Line Agreement be executed. Parking is sufficient for the site, as originally 124 parking spaces were proposed and 140 spaces are being provided; sufficient handicap spaces are also being provided. A Cross Parking Easement is in place for the site. Landscaping for the site was approved by the Parks & Beautification Board on September 27, 2007. The Board, through its approval gave staff the authority to approve minor changes in the landscape plan as the project moves forward; however, no significant changes are being proposed and the plan meets the minimum requirements of the Landscaping section of the Zoning Ordinance.
