Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance zoning 9.24 acres located south of Louis Henna Boulevard and east of South AW Grimes Boulevard to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) No. 133 zoning district. (First Reading)*
Body
The PUD zoning is at the request of the owner, Epitome Development. A maximum of 108 dwelling units in the form of attached single family homes (duplexes) will be built on a commonly owned lot. The project will be served by private drive aisles and will contain four amenities, which is one in addition to what is required by the city’s code for townhouse development. The homes will include exterior design features on the second floor when these facades face any adjacent property boundary. In addition, a perimeter fence will be built, including a subdivision wall along A.W. Grimes Blvd, with landscaping between the wall and the roadway. The Future Land Use Map of the comprehensive plan designates the site for commercial uses, but adoption of the PUD will change the designation to residential. Considering the surrounding uses, staff believes attached single-family is an appropriate land use as well.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on September 15, 2021 and voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the zoning. There were no speakers at the hearing.
