06-472
PHMayor Whitfield reopened the Public Hearing for Consideration/Discussion/Action on the Request by Pogue Engineering & Development Company, Inc., on Behalf of SB Harbor Market Joint Venture, for Approval of a Request to Rezone 44.46 Acres, From “PD” – Planned Development District to “PD” – Planned Development District in Order to Modify the Development Standards, Located at the Southeast Corner of Virginia Parkway and Stonebridge Drive, and Accompanying Ordinance. Assistant Director of Planning Melissa Henderson stated that this item was tabled from the August 15th meeting in order to allow staff to work on the wording for the special development and on compromises with the developer. Ms. Henderson stated that many people have been working diligently on this and a compromise is still being worked out. Ms. Henderson stated that the major points are: No horses or carriages will be allowed, City Council has discretionary approval for height, height standard is 35 feet anything above that would require City Council approval, Outdoor runs with the veterinary office will require a specific use permit and City Council action, a specific use permit for the boat in the harbor that will include maintenance use of lake and what type of establishments are allowed, and the Director of Planning can approve generalized development plans if they comply with the intent and spirit of the generalized elevations, if not they are sent to the City Council for approval. Mayor Pro-Tem Loughmiller stated that he has met with the developer and Brian James about the concerns that were raised at the last council meeting regarding the boat, dog run and specific use permits. Mr. Loughmiller stated that his issue has been that the City Council should remain the final gatekeeper on this project.
