Body
BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for Battison Automotive Addition, a Planned Unit Development and is generally located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Franklin Road and Interstate Drive. This property contains 16.87 acres. Lot 1 consists of 5.50 acres with a proposed automotive dealership. Lot 2 will remain as A-2, Rural Agricultural District with no current plans for development.
Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 14, 2020, on a vote of 6-2, recommended to City Council amending the NORMAN 2025 Land Use and Transportation Plan for a portion of the property from Medium Density Residential Designation and Special Planning Area 5 to Commercial Designation and taking it from Future Urban Service Area to Current Service Area for 5.504 acres of property. Also, Planning Commission recommended to City Council that a portion of this property be placed in the PUD, Planned Unit Development and removed from A-2, Rural Agricultural District. In addition, Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Battison Automotive Addition, a Planned Unit Developemnt.
DISCUSSION: The proposed 20,144 square foot automobile sales facility in this PUD are expected to generate approximately 544 trips per day, 37 AM peak hour trips, and 58 PM peak hour trips.

The development is proposed for location north and west of the intersection of Franklin Road and North Interstate Drive.
