ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct an eleven building multi-family development (Heritage Multi-Family) on 8.94 acres south of the intersection of Pearson Avenue and Heritage Drive.
Site plans can typically be approved by Staff; however, the governing ordinance (Ordinance No. 2007-01-004) requires the site plan to be reviewed and acted upon by the City Council. The property was originally zoned in 1983 as part of an ordinance allowing multi-family residential uses in certain areas, including the subject property, within the total zoned area. The 2007 amendment did not change or remove the entitlement of the subject property to develop multi-family uses, just added a provision for maximum density of 20 dwelling units per acre.
PLATTING STATUS: The subject property is currently platted as Lots 2R1, 4, and 5, Block E of the Heritage Addition. An amending plat of the subject property must be approved prior to the commencement of any development activity on the subject property.
