SEPTEMBER 23, 2013
The RAo District was created by ordinance Number ol3-01-02
which became effective
earlier this year. The overlay district was created as a mechanism
for the redevelopment,
tevitalization' rehabilitation, and general improvement of areas
within the City of
Cookeville as identified within the Cookevitte zo:o Plan as
being in need of such action,
or other areas within the city as may be determined to be in need
of such action. Within
RAo districts, the city may waive or modify certain development requirements
to provide
incentives for redevelopment, including increases in density,
reduction of setbacks, and
reductions of lot sizes. Specific criteria must be met for properties
to quaify for RAo
zoning and a detailed process for approval must be followed.
only those uses permitted in
the underlying zoning may be permitted in a RAo district.
To qualifu for RAo zoning the
site must contain a minimum of one (l) acre when located
within an areaidentified in the
cookeville 2030 Plan as being in need of revitalization/redevelopment.
The developer
must submit and adhere to an approved development plan.
The process for the approval of RAo zotinginvolves several
steps. First the developer is
required to meet with the Planning Director to determine
whether the RAo zoning is
appropriate for the-proposed property. If it is determined
that the property is upprop.Tut"
for RAo zoning,lhen-the developeimust submit a request for overlay
zoning,a written
statement describing the proposed development and htw
it meets the objectives of the
2030 Plan, and a Preliminary RAo Concept Plan. The
Concept plan

the overlay zoning
request and required submittals, must submit a recommendation
to iire City Council for
approval, modification, or denial of the request. Upon receipt
of the planninj Commission
recommendation the City Council then considers enactment
of the overlay.
"
the overlay is enacted, a Final RAo Plan must be submitted to
-once and approved by the
Planning commission. The Final RAo Plan must be submitted within ri*
the effective date of the enactment of the overlay by the City t;i months after

action shall become null and void. Extension of no .r,or" than
18 months may be granted
!v Lt" Planning Commission. The Final RAO Plan must substantially conform to the
Preliminary RAO Concept Plan. Any substantial modifications
to the upprorr.a Final RAO
Plan must be resubmitted to the planning Commission.

The developer is req.uesting reductions in the front setback requirements
to 15 feet along
West 7th and West 8ih Streeis and Chestnut Avenue. This would allow the
structures
in alignment with the structures in University Square, Phase I.. According totothe be
preliminary RAO Plan, the structures along Wbst ith and West 8th Streets
would be
staggered so that approximately half would be setback at 17 feet and half
at 15 feet. The
minimum front setback requirement in the RD district is 20 feet or five (5) feet
more than
the requested reduction. Most of the existing structures are located withinthe
required 20
foot setback area. It should also be noted that the developer will dedicate approximately
five (5) feet of property along West 7m Street and approximately ten (10) feei^of property
along Chestnut Avenue and West 8th Street to priviae 25 feet from the
centerline of
adjoining streets as right-of-way for future improviments to the streets.
The developer also requests a waiver of up to $1,025.00 in fees for fence permits,
for the
city to pay half of the street lighting expense as was done in Phase I, and for a joint
venture
with the city to replace existing sidewalks on West 7th Street that are in less than good
condition.
Staff recommended approval of Preliminary RAO Concept Plan for the
development of 40
single family attached dwellings, subject io the closure, abandonment and acquisition
of
the righrof-way of Laurel Avenue between West 7th and West 8th Streetq
and approvat of
the requested setback reductions with recommendation to City Council for
the enactment

authorization

Eugene Harris spoke on behalf of his father, who lives at 339 West
8th Street. Mr. Harris
stated that his father has had more problems with drainage since
the new apartment
development has been built, and, that he had contacted Public Works
about this issue, but
they had not called him back. I\zIr. Harris was concerned for the safety of individuals
pulling out on North Willow Avenue from West 8th & 9th Streets, "because
dangerous to turn left or right on Willow Avenue, and due to these
