Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z1123-0338, submitted by Jason Shaw with Serenity Senior Living II, LLC., for a comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use designation from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential and for a change of zoning from Agricultural to Planned Development - Townhomes with modified planned development standards to allow an age-restricted townhome development located at 2795 Clay Mathis Road.
(One response in favor and five in opposition to the application has been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations. This item was postponed at the October 21, 2024, City Council meeting.)
Body
The applicant proposes to develop a four-acre property for an age-restricted townhome community. Each townhome will be situated on a lot ranging from approximately 2,600 - 3,800 square feet, with an anticipated living area of 1,400 square feet. There will be no alleys, and all units will include a front-entry, one-car garage with a shared driveway between adjacent units. The original proposal included an assisted living facility with up to 48 beds; however, this component has been removed.
On September 23, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-1 (Commissioner Chenault dissenting) to approve a comprehensive plan amendment from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential and a zoning change from AG - Agriculture to Planned Development (PD) - Townhomes to allow an age-restricted townhome development with 34 townhomes and an assisted living facility with certain stipulations.
At the October 21, 2024, meeting, City Council postponed the request without a date certain to allow the applicant an opportunity to revise the proposal. The applicant has since submitted a revised concept plan with the following changes:
• Removed the assisted living facility
• Increased the number of dwelling units from 34 to 35
• Added a dog park, open space, and pickleball court
• Included an access connection through the adjacent church property
• Added 19 guest parking spaces
• Added an 8-foot precast wall along the western property line
The proposed PD ordinance and Exhibits B (Development Standards) and C (Concept Plan) have been updated based on the abovementioned changes in the revised concept plan.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
