PUBLIC HEARING(S)
CONDITIONAL USE of R-3 in C-2 zone/900-910 Military Road
Mr. Gray presented a survey of the 10-acre tract located at the corner of Woodbriar Drive and Military Road. He reviewed the uses of C-2 zoning and added that there was no opposition
to the conditional use request regarding the April 10th public hearing. He stated that the Winrock Development Company and ERC properties are the proposed buyers of the property. He
then related that ERC properties is a multi-family developer for apartment complexes. He stated that the general scope of multi-family housing would be more neighborly than a C-2 zoning
use. He related that one of the opportunities under C-2 zoning is a conditional use that allows for construction of multi-family or other housing. He related that the construction
project will be similar to the Timberwood project on South Hospital Drive, which was granted a residential conditional use in a commercial zone. He stated that the ten-acre property
will be sold in two phases and that the first six-acre phase has financing allowing ERC properties to build apartments. He related that ERC properties would submit a site plan/construction
plan to the Planning Commission for their review and decision as to the lay-out of the site. He stated that the variance will allow ERC properties to complete the purchase and begin
the development process. He stated that the variance would be granted to ERC properties and if they do not purchase the property or build apartments then the variance becomes void.
He then stated that at that point the zoning stays with the land and the current ownership of Winrock Development.
