Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance zoning 25.58 acres located south of E. Old Settlers Blvd. and east of N. A.W. Grimes Blvd. to the MF-1 (Multifamily - Low Density) zoning district. (First Reading)*
Body
The property was annexed into the City on February 14, 2019. At that time, three zoning districts were adopted: 30.36 acres were zoned as MF-1 (Multifamily - low density), 8.03 acres were zoned as C-2 (Local Commercial) and 179.71 acres were zoned as SF-3 (Single Family - Mixed Lot). The property owners, Scott Cressman, et al., have since requested a change to the boundaries for these districts.

This ordinance adopts the MF-1 district for 25.58 acres. When combined with the 3.36 acres being rezoned from SF-3 as a separate agenda item, the parcel will contain 28.94 acres.
The MF-1 district provides for multifamily housing at a maximum density of 12 units per acre and a maximum height of 2.5 stories. Apartments, townhouses and multifamily houses are allowed. No more than 120 apartment units can be grouped on the same or separate adjacent lots, unless they are separated by open space, natural features, or property zoned as OF (Office) or C-2 (Local Commercial), except for a gas station use. Apartments also have design standards and amenities are required.
