ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The City Council approved a special use permit for a cricket sports facility on September 18, 2023. The applicant planned to meet the Unified Development Code screening requirements for portions of the development that are adjacent to an existing single-family home. To meet the request of the adjacent property owner, the applicant proposes an alternative standard to replace the required six-foot (6’) masonry screening wall with an eight-foot (8’) board-on-board capped fence with steel fence posts facing the indoor cricket facility, to reduce the required landscape buffer adjacent to the entry drive by 50%, and to eliminate the required street trees along the northern portion of the property. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval (6-0) on January 16, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the alternative standard as set forth in the caption above.
