Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z1225-0433 submitted by JPI Development for a change of zoning to amend Planned Development (PD) - Multifamily, Ordinance No. 5110, to modify the development standards and the concept plan for the PD located at 900 and 1000 Windbell Circle.
(One response in favor and none 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 Torrington Creekside, a four-story, approximately 294-unit multifamily project on roughly 12 acres along Windbell Circle. Multifamily use is already permitted under the current PD ordinance, which was approved in 2024 to allow a 280-unit multifamily development. JPI Development is now proposing to move the project forward with some changes, requiring an amendment to the existing PD ordinance, to update the concept plan, and modify certain development standards.
The revised development would consist of three apartment buildings with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, an overall parking ratio of 1.8 spaces per unit, and a range of indoor and outdoor amenities. The proposed PD amendment would increase the total number of units and modify the permitted bedroom mix by reducing the minimum percentage of one-bedroom units, increasing the allowable percentage of two-bedroom units, and allowing three-bedroom units. Additional changes include adjustments to open space and total parking. The project remains well within the regulatory thresholds established by Senate Bill 840 for density, parking, and building height, and the City retains authority to regulate landscaping, open space, amenities, unit size, and screening under the Mesquite Zoning Ordinance.
On February 9, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to approve the CUP, subject to certain stipulations.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
