Doran Canterbury I, LLC has made application to amend a PUD Overlay District for a proposed mixed use development, and approve the Preliminary Plat of Canterbury Park 7th Addition. The subject property is approximately 24 acres, and is located North of Eagle Creek Blvd., South of 4th Avenue East, & East of 3001 Eagle Creek Blvd.

The property is guided as entertainment, and is zoned Major Recreation (MR) Zone, and is included in the Canterbury Park Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposal will introduce a residential development element to the project area, which will require a Vacation of Public Right-of-way/drainage & utility easements and a PUD Amendment. The City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that allows up to 28 DUA in the Entertainment guided areas and in MR Zone when it is in a PUD.  

The PUD Amendment would establish residential use in the Canterbury Park development. 

The first phase of the project will involve the construction of a 295 unit apartment complex, along with a Club House and Gate House on a 13.3 acre parcel  The applicant is also proposing a perimeter 6’-0” fence, with gated entrances on the east and south sides of the complex.

The structures will have a perimeter driveway, and buildings are setback at least 60 feet from all property lines. There will be an extensive trail network, and the proposed Shenandoah Drive will include several roundabouts with significant landscaping and other decorative features.

Considerations
