Explanation
 
Rezoning Amendment Z88-1844A
 
Ordinance #1474-88, passed June 27, 1988 (Z88-1844), rezoned 18.88± acres from the M-2, Manufacturing, R-1, Residential, and R, Rural Districts to the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District.  That legislation permits commercial development having specific development standards in accordance with a registered site plan and limitation text that addressed permitted uses, access, setbacks, and other customary design commitments.  This legislation will amend Ordinance #1474-88 by modifying the limitation text to allow temporary access to North Cassady Avenue until such time as a signalized access is installed north of the subject site and an access easement is granted to said signalized access.  The L-C-4 Text and Plan limited the number and location of access points to North Cassady Avenue for the entire 18.88-acre tract, and since the passage of this ordinance, approximately 15.11 acres have been rezoned.  Only this 3.77± acre tract remains within the original L-C-4 District, and no access from North Cassady Avenue to the site is permitted.  This amendment does not alter any other requirements established by Ordinance #1474-88.
 
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION:  Approval.

Likewise, the development standards imposed by this L-C-4, Limitation Text may from time to time be amended by appropriate council action as the Premises are developed, and the zoning of the Premises to L-C-4, per this Limitation Text, should not be construed to preclude such amendments.
