Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0725-0406, submitted by KCG Companies, LLC., for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the future land use designation from Light Industrial to High Density Residential and for a change of zoning from Planned Development – Age Restricted Residential and Industrial Ordinance No. 4919 to Planned Development – Age Restricted Multifamily and Commercial to allow a 260-unit multifamily development for senior living (aged 55 and up) on a 11-acre tract of land and a commercial development on a ~3.8 tract of land with modified development standards located at 2210 East Scyene Road (also addressed as 2235 East Glen Boulevard).
(No responses in favor or in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations.)
Body
The applicant is requesting a zoning change to allow the development of Avanti Hills, a four-story, 260-unit multifamily community for seniors (55+) on approximately 11 acres at the northwest corner of East Glen Boulevard and Clay Mathis Road. The project will consist of two apartment buildings with a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, an overall parking ratio of 1.25 spaces per unit, and a variety of indoor and outdoor amenities. The proposed Planned Development (PD) will meet the requirements of Section 2-501 of the Zoning Ordinance, with exceptions related to covered parking, bedroom type ratios, and gated entry. In addition to the Avanti Hills tract (Tract 1), the applicant proposes to rezone an adjacent 3.7-acre tract (Tract 2) to PD–Commercial, bringing the total rezoning area to 14.7 acres. No concept plan has been submitted for Tract 2; any commercial development will require a future PD amendment and concept plan approval.
Staff has not received any responses from the statutory or courtesy notices. However, staff received 68 online comments opposing the request. In summary, the comments opposed the rezoning for multifamily housing, citing concerns about crime, traffic, infrastructure strain, declining property values, and the erosion of single-family character.
On August 25, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a vote of 5-1, with Commissioner Walker opposed.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
