Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance rezoning 12.91 acres located southeast of Louis Henna Boulevard and east of Greenlawn Boulevard from the PUD (Planned Unit Development) No. 107 zoning district to the PF-2 (Public Facilities - Medium Intensity) zoning district. (First Reading)*
Body
The proposal is to rezone 12.91 acres to allow for a charter school providing for grades K-12. The property, 27.24 acres owned by David Leppin, was zoned as PUD (Planned Unit Development) No. 107 in 2016, providing for low density multi-family development, with a commercial corner at Greenlawn Blvd. and Pflugerville Loop. The property has remained undeveloped. The charter school will be built on the northern half of the property, leaving the commercial corner and the remainder zoned for low density multi-family.
The PF-2 (Public Facilities - medium intensity) zoning district is designed for educational facilities of this size and type. The district has standards for exterior wall finish, building orientation and articulation. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on December 5, 2018 and voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning to the PF-2 (Public facilities - medium intensity) zoning district. There was one speaker at the public hearing, who requested information on the size of the school and how the site would be developed.
