Subject: (REZN-2-14-0238) Request to amend the text of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) in regards to the Manchester Expressway Overlay District.
A total of two hundred and sixty eight (268) property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject properties were notified of the rezoning request. The Planning Department has received approximately seventy four (74) calls/emails in support of the case, two (2) were neutral and six (6) were in opposition. The ones in favor agree with not allowing billboards and advertisement and also keep the unspoiled tree line in the corridor. One of the callers in opposition was concerned about the overlap between the HWY 80 overlay and the proposed one, the amount of variances granted on previous overlays and the cost to add those aesthetic improvements for the property owner/developer. The ones neutral were inquiring about the purpose of this overlay district and implications in this area.
The Planning Advisory Commission (PAC) considered this text amendment at their meeting on March 19, 2014. The PAC recommended approval.
The Planning Department recommends approval.
Sincerely,
Rick Jones, AICP
Director, Planning Department
