March 5, 1985
A regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was called
to order by Chairman John N. Sargent on Tuesday, March 5, 1985 at
7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
ROLL CALL: Present: Don Beal, Adelbert Evans, Debbie Gaines, Marie
McKinney, Buddy Rogers, John Sargent and James Shepherd. Absent:
Nick Jones and Robert Thompson. Also attending was Marilyn George,
Planning and Zoning Technician.
MINUTES of the meeting held February 5, 1985 were approved as
presented.
REZONING REQUEST: Mr. Sargent introduced a rezoning request by
Stephen C. Vaughn from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-3 Resi-
dential/Professional for property at the following location:
North 160 feet and the South 170 feet of the East 301 feet
of Tract 2 and the North 10 feet of the East 301 feet of
Tract 3, Oakhurst Subdivision
Ms. George explained that portions of Tracts 2 and 3 had been rezoned
to R-3 at an earlier date at the request of Mr. Steven Richey.
Mr. Vaughn stated that he plans to build 34 apartment units under an
FmHA Elderly Housing program. He stated that he has already built
three similar projects, and that they are for middle income residents.
He explained that the Farmer's Home Administration inspects such pro-
jects once a month and that an outside management team will manage
the project.
Mr. Evans asked for clarification of the request, which was stated in
one document submitted by the applicant to be for rezoning to R-2. Mr.
Vaughn stated that the City Manager had recommended the R-3 request.
Mr. Evans then asked if the R-3 zoning was desired, even though R-2
density requirements were being met, so that amenities accruing to
the R-3 classification, such as professional offices, could be en-
joyed. Mr. Vaughn answered in the affirmative, and he further stated
that the R-2 density question will be covered in the Conditional Use
Permit request.
A brief discussion concerning buffers ensued.
A motion was made by Mr. Rogers, seconded by Mr. Beal and approved by
a six to one affirmative vote THAT IT BE RECOMMENDED TO CITY COUNCIL
THAT THE REZONING FROM R-1 TO R-3 BE APPROVED FOR THE ABOVE DESCRIBED
PROPERTY IN TRACTS 2 AND 3, OAKHURST SUBDIVISION. Mr. Evans voted
"Nay, with reservations" because he wanted to hold the applicant to
R-2 density requirements.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: Mr. Sargent introduced a request for a Con-
ditional Use Permit by Mr. Vaughn to allow construction of 34 FmHA
Elderly rental units with a density of 9.85 per acre (4,420 square
feet of land area per dwelling unit).
Ms. George pointed out that the rear yard setback of buildings near
the south property lines was only 17 feet, whereas 25 feet is re-
quired. Mr. Cliff Bailey, architect for Mr. Vaughn, expressed his
opinion that this is a side yard, since the project faces east.
Mr. Evans emphasized that only on the rezoning request is it mentioned
that the project will be built to R-2 density.
There was discussion concerning driveways, buffers and the criteria

for tenants of these units. Further discussion resulted in areement
that 1.5 parking spaces per unit will probably be enough, rather than
the two spaces required by the Zoning Ordinance.
