ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 101.69 acres of land, located on the southeast corner of Stacy Road and Alma Road from "AG" - Agricultural District to "PD" - Planned Development District and "REC" - Regional Employment Center Overlay District generally to establish development regulations that allow for the development of a commercial neighborhood center on approximately 11.42 acres, single family detached dwellings on approximately 48.62 acres, townhouse dwellings on approximately 17.72 acres, and multi-family dwellings on approximately 23.94 acres.
At the April 22, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission tabled the rezoning request due to a staff noticing error.
At the May 13, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission voted to table the rezoning request in order for the applicant to reconsider the maximum height, density, and general location of multi-family uses on the subject property. Subsequent to the meeting, the applicant has proposed to include additional signage notifying residents of the future multi-family uses and has reduced the story height of multi-family buildings adjacent to single family uses, discussed further below.
