Body
Trinsic Residential Group is requesting a rezoning to allow a 300-unit multifamily development on the northern portion of 5201 Northwest Dr, adjacent to the age-restricted apartments known as Evergreen at Mesquite.
The subject property was rezoned in February 2024 (Planned Development (PD)-Multifamily and Light Commercial, Ordinance No. 5094) to allow three multifamily buildings with 264 units and nine townhome-style buildings with 36 units on approximately 17 acres, with the remaining ~5 acres designated for Light Commercial uses.
The applicant is now proposing a new PD that will reduce the Multifamily-zoned portion from 17.86 to 12.528 acres while increasing the Light Commercial portion from 5 to 10.346 acres. The new concept plan shifts the 300-unit multifamily development to the 12.528 acres west of the drainage channel to better accommodate the site’s natural topographical challenges, including substantial grade changes and drainage. The development will include nine multifamily buildings, a clubhouse, and 507 parking spaces.
The proposed multifamily development will follow all requirements in Section 2-501, except for requested modifications related to open space, indoor amenities, covered parking, unit size, and unit type ratios. The PD does not include a concept plan for the 10.346 acres east of the channel. The PD will allow uses permitted in the Light Commercial Zoning District.
On March 10, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a 7-0 vote, allowing the 300-unit multifamily development on Tract 1 and Light Commercial uses on Tract 2.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
