Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-020
APPLICANT: Mark Bush, Capital Growth - Buchalter, c/o Travis Munn; 2800 South 11th Street; Kalamazoo, Michigan 49009.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 9, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently undeveloped and is zoned in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, would permit commercial development in two subareas in accordance with a site plan and elevation drawings. While the intended development of Subarea A is a Dollar General retail store, the proposal permits most C-4, Commercial District uses. The site lies within the boundaries of the Trabue-Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends low to medium density residential uses for this location. At the request of the Planning Division, the proposal has been designed to include building, landscaping, and site design standards that are consistent with the urban design principles outlined in the Plan, ensuring the retail use results in high quality development that complies with Community Commercial Overlay standards. Given the current L-C-2 zoning of the property and the proposed design commitments, deviation from the Plan recommendation is supported. In consideration of abutting residential uses, the applicant has also agreed to install all screening for both subareas as soon as either subarea is developed.
