DEPARTMENT: Planning
CONTACT: Michael Quint, Senior Planner

1. The use and development of the subject property shall conform to the regulations of “PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 96-11-51, except as follows:

ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 48.16 acres of land, located northwest corner of Frisco Road and McDonald Street (State Highway 5) from “PD” - Planned Development District to “PD” - Planned Development District, generally to modify the development standards.
More specifically, the applicant is proposing to modify the development standards that are currently applicable to the subject property to allow for the construction of a series of urban multi-family buildings that will allow for the integration of non-residential uses in a vertically integrated manner. Multi-family residential and commercial uses are currently allowed by right on the subject property but there are development regulations that are currently applicable that prohibit the construction of the type of development the property owner intends to develop. The intent of this rezoning request is to eliminate those existing obstacles.
