P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes

Senior Planner Martin Griggs gave a presentation with exhibits. Mr. Griggs informed
that four comment forms were received, two in favor and two in opposition of the
request and seven calls were received to receive further information. Staff
recommended approval of the requested change in zoning from SR -12 to PD, with a
minor change as noted below, on the approximately 29.99 acre site for the following
reasons:
1. Rezoning the subject property would allow continued use and expansion of the
cemetery use including a funeral home, mortuary/cemetery, and
mausoleum/crematorium. Staff recommends the addition of a
15' street tree planting along Cullen Parkway in -lieu of the standard Corridor Overlay
District planting to be completed when that portion of the cemetery is platted.
2. The cemetery has a current Planned Development which limits the allowed uses to
funeral types of development and the proposed PD maintains that limitation. If
approved, the zone change would be one of the least intense commercial uses
compatible with the Future Land Use Plan and in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed PD results in a superior development introducing greater design along
the main entrance of Cullen Parkway. If the residence were to be sold, the base zoning
district would require a buffer against the residential use as per the UDC requirement.
4. The proposed design plan maintains compatibility with adjacent uses.
5. The proposed design plan maintains a configuration of uses which are compatible
with existing adjacent developments.
6. The proposed development will have little impact on public facility plans.
7. The original PD (2000M-85) had no additional amenities. This PD would continue that
baseline with the addition of the proposed landscaping noted above.
P&Z Vice -Chairperson Thomas Duncan asked Staff where the current water well was
located, Mr. Griggs informed that they did not know the current location. P&Z
Commissioner Layni Cade asked Staff what were the reasons for Citizens opposition
from the comment forms received. Mr. Griggs informed that they were opposed to the
development but were not more specific.
P&Z Commissioner Mary Starr made a motion to amend the original motion to include
staff's recommendations 1 thru 4, P&Z Commissioner David Selsky seconded the
motion to amend. The motion to amend passed 7-0. The amended motion passed by a
vote of 7-0. P&Z Chairperson Daniel Tunstall, P&Z Vice -Chairperson Thomas Duncan,
and P&Z Commissioners Layni Cade, Derrell Isenberg, Troy Pradia, David Selsky, and
Mary Starr voted in favor of the motion.
