Title
A minor amendment to the Shoppes at Academy Development Plan associated with the change of zoning of 1.28 acres located at Shrider Road and Academy Boulevard. Quasi-Judicial

Body

Summary:
Applicant: Equity Ventures
Owner: Ethan Allen Retail Inc.
Location: Northwest corner of Shrider Road and Academy Boulevard

There are two applications as part of this project:
1. Zone Change
2. Minor Amendment to the Shoppes on Academy Development Plan

The applicant is requesting a zone change for North Academy III Filing No. 1, Lot 3 only. The zone change will permit a Specialty Food Sales use on Lot 3 only, with previously established conditions remaining on all portions of the development. In addition, the applicant is proposing a minor amendment to the existing Shoppes on Academy development plan to reflect these zoning changes and establish Lot 3 with a Specialty Food Sales use.

Previous Council Action:
None

Background:
This project requires a rezone of Lot 3 North Academy III to allow Specialty Food Sales. The site is currently zoned PBC/CR with conditions of record that restrict General Food and Convenience Food sales. Specialty Food Sales is a permissible use in a standard PBC zone district. The rezone will establish the allowance of Specialty Food Sales on Lot 3 only, reflected similarly in the minor amendment to the Shoppes on Academy Development Plan. The surrounding area is developed as a commercial center. The proposed use is consistent and fits well with the intention of this commercial corridor.

This item supports the City's strategic goal relating to building community. The new use will allow for growth of the Shoppes on Academy commercial center and add to the existing community amenities.
