Ms Gilleland clarified this is part of the Cover TIF and part of the potential roadway. Mr. Schultz stated staff supported the proposed rezoning, and the Planning and Zoning Commission and Service Committee supported the rezoning contingent upon the traffic impact study being concluded, reviewed, and accepted by the City prior to any Certificate of Appropriateness for any building in the subject area be approved. Mr. Schultz stated he would answer any questions anyone might have.

PUBLIC HEARING
OPEN DISCUSSION
REGARDING PROPOSED REZONING OF 77.86 ACRES
7:20 P.M.
Mayor Shaver opened the Public Hearing at 7:23 P.M., with the following Council Members present: Mrs. Riggs, Mr. O’Brien, Mr. Hackworth, Mr. Parker, Mr. Sabatino, Mr. Wisniewski, and Mayor Shaver. Mr. Wright was absent. Others present were: Judy Gilleland, Lynda Yartin, Linda Fersch, Lance Schultz, Bob Nelson, Jeff McInturf, Bob Mapes, and others.
Mr. Schultz stated this property is located at 8110 Refugee Road and is owned by Sycamore Creek Community Church. He stated they are requesting a rezoning from AG (Rural District) to PR10 (Planned Condominium/Apartments) and C2 (Central Business/Mixed Use). Mr. Schultz gave a brief presentation on the background of this property. He stated Sycamore Creek Community Church entered into a pre-annexation agreement with the City nearly three years ago. He stated the City and the Township have agreed to settle the pending lawsuit and proceed with the annexation. Mr. Schultz stated the pre-annexation agreement allowed up to one-half of the property to be rezoned to PR10 for condominiums and the applicant is requesting 37.85 acres to be rezoned PR10 with the remaining 40 acres being zoned C2 which allows a mixed use of commercial business and apartments. He stated currently that is where the church is located and they plan on keeping the church and putting in recreational facilities. Mr. Schultz stated the frontage portion having a mix of retail offices is consistent with Violet Township’s existing and proposed land use plan and the City’s comprehensive plan. He stated access to the site would be from an existing curb cut, and the City would require a traffic impact study in this area. Mr. Schultz further stated the PR10 portion would have to get approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission, Service Committee, and City Council for condominiums. He continued the C2 portion would have to get approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Schultz stated Planning and Zoning Commission and Service Committee approved the rezoning request contingent upon the pre-annexation agreement being adhered to, that the third reading of the zone change not be completed until the City officially accepts the annexation, and that a traffic impact study be completed prior to the final reading.
Mr. Jeff McInturf stated he was present representing the applicant and he would answer any questions anyone might have. Mr. McInturf stated they do not have a buyer for any part of the property at this point, but they are trying to sell a portion of the property, limited to approximately 25 acres of the 78, and the Church’s intent is to continue to own and utilize the balance of the property for Church and community outreach in the way of nature trails, athletic fields, and such. Mr. McInturf presented a conceptual plan that would indicate how the zoning would be split according to the pre-annexation agreement. Mr. McInturf stressed this was conceptual only as they do not have a buyer for the property as yet. He stated their intent was to sell only to a developer that would take into consideration the Church’s desire to build a high quality, high end development. Mrs. Riggs clarified the Church had no intention of building apartments on the property.
Mr. McInturf stated the pre-annexation agreement is very specific on the zoning, with one-half being PR10 and the other half being C2. Mr. Sabatino stated he understood it was up to one-half, it did not require it to be one-half. Mr. Sabatino stated if they did not intend to develop it as PR10, then why would they want to rezone that much of the space. Mr. McInturf stated it was his understanding that by zoning it PR10 it gave the City more control over how it developed in the future. Mr. Schultz stated PR10 zoning is more restrictive than C2. Mr. Sabatino stated it allows for a higher density residential as opposed to commercial. Mr. Schultz stated C2 allows density at the same level as PR10, it allows a mix of commercial and residential. Mr. Hackworth stated however that PR10 allowed apartments. Mr. Schultz stated PR10 and C2 allow apartments.
Mayor Shaver ascertained there were no further comments.
There being no further comments, Mayor Shaver closed the public hearing at 7:35 P.M., December 7, 2004.
