Case 1679 Applicant: Oxford Phoenix, LLC Owner: First Citizens Bank and Trust Company Request: Site Plan Amendment Location: Oxford Station, Phase II Zoning: (RB) Two-Unit Residential Surrounding Zoning: North: (RC) Multi-Family Residential – Oxford Station, Phase I South: (RB) Two-Unit Residential – Oxford Station, Phase II, unimproved East: (RC) Multi-Unit Residential – Cambridge Station Apartments West: (RB) Two-Unit Residential – Oxford Station, Phase II, unimproved Past Zoning History: 4/2004 – Case #1084 - Site Plan Approval – ‘Oxford Station II’ 3/2004 – Case #1067 – Special exception - ‘Oxford Station II’ 1/2002 – Case #0888 - Site plan approval – ‘Oxford Station I’ Planners Comments: The subject property is located on the south side of Bickerstaff Road and measures approximately 11.65 acres. In 2004, the site plan for ‘Oxford Station II’ was approved as a 45-acre, 239-unit condominium development. Since that time, 36 units have been completed and are occupied; 14 are in various stages of completion and 17 possible home sites. The remainder of the property is vacant and undeveloped. As a result of a bank foreclosure the undeveloped acreage was subsequently sold. An arbitrary phase line was drawn between the improved area and the unimproved acreage to the southwest. This action has rendered much of the existing development non-conforming and in some areas out of compliance with city regulations. This phase line effectively cut off the circulation of 4 access ways and also created a dead-end street. As a life safety measure, Section 162.04 (14) of Oxford’s Land Development Code: “Dead-end streets designed to be so permanently shall not be longer than 800 feet in length and shall be provided at the closed end with a turnaround having an outside roadway diameter of at least 80 feet and a street property line diameter of at least 100 feet.” The applicant is proposing to construct a connector street between two of the interior roads for added circulation and a cul-de-sac is proposed at the end of the access road. A new parking lot has been added to accommodate the future addition of units. The applicant met with the site plan review committee on November, 7 th and had made all necessary modification for compliance. Recommendation: Approve the site plan amendment for ‘Oxford Station, Phase II’.
