Title
Consider public testimony regarding and an ordinance approving original zoning to the MF-2 (Multi-family medium density) zoning district for 7.72 acres located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Greenlawn Blvd. and W. Pflugerville Parkway. (First Reading)*
Body
This property owner has voluntarily requested annexation by the city as a separate agenda item. This original zoning to MF-2 would allow for the land to be combined with the 17.56 acre tract to the south in order to provide a site for apartments. The property is within the Dell / La Frontera Mixed Use designated area in the General Plan 2020. The General Plan also has criteria regarding the location of multi-family developments. This site meets the criteria, with no single family neighborhood within 500 feet and no other medium density multi-family development within one-half mile.
The revised MF-2 zoning district standards adopted in 2012 include enhancements such as amenities (playgrounds, swimming pools, social rooms, etc.), covered and garage enclosed parking, and concealed exterior stairways along public right-of-ways.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 at their meeting on February 4, 2015 to recommend approval of the rezoning to MF-2 (Multi-family - medium density).
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
