Annexation, preliminary plat, and development agreement for Selkirk Ranch at South Linder Rd and West Hubbard Rd

Denied.

Approximately 40-acre mixed-use development at the intersection of South Linder Road and West Hubbard Road, proposing R6 and C2 zoning for 149 single-family residential lots and six commercial lots (171 total lots including 18 common area lots), 4.7 homes/acre. Developer is Criterion Land Management (Randy Clarno). Planning & Zoning recommended denial. Council denied the annexation on a voice vote, citing cumulative traffic on Hubbard and Linder, infrastructure timing, and school capacity (adding ~80-85 students). City attorney advised that denying annexation renders the plat and development agreement applications moot.

Annexation and C1 zoning at 1324 East Albacore Lane

Approved.

Annexation and zoning for approximately 5.2 acres at 1324 East Albacore Lane with a proposed C1 zone. Applicants Aubrey Christiani and her husband. Planning & Zoning recommended denial. Neighbors in the Minnow Landing county subdivision opposed, citing CC&Rs and use of the private Albacore Lane. Staff and city attorney noted CC&Rs are a private matter not enforceable by the city and that commercial traffic could not use Albacore Lane; access would require East Meadowview Road. Council approved over Planning & Zoning's denial recommendation.
