Hold a Public Hearing, consider, and act upon, a recommendation to City Council regarding a request for a change of zoning from Commercial Corridor ( CC) to Planned Development - Commercial Corridor / Multifamily ( PD- CC/MF) on property generally located on the southwest corner of State Highway 78 and Wylie East Drive. (ZC 2021- 21). Staff Discussion Mr. Haskins addressed the Commissioners, stating that the applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 22 acres located on the southwest comer of State Highway 78 and Wylie East Drive from Commercial Corridor to Planned Development with Commercial Corridor and Multifamily. The requested rezoning will allow for a mix of commercial and residential uses within a horizontal mixed- use community, and consists of two sub- districts. Mr. Haskins reviewed the residential sub- district and the commercial sub- district, and stated that the Planned Development Conditions require that a portion of the commercial tract be completed prior to 75 percent of the residential units being occupied. The residential sub- district consists of one lot on approximately 16 acres. The proposed commercial sub- district consists of four tracts totalling six acres along the frontage of State Highway 78. The current Comprehensive Master Plan identifies this property as General Urban which can allow for multi- family within a mixed- use development. The property is adjacent to single- family homes to the south and east. Property to the west is undeveloped and zoned Commercial Corridor, while the property to the north, across State Highway 78, is zoned as a Planned Development for Light Industrial and Commercial development. A Traffic Impact Analysis provided by the applicant found that the roadways and intersections in the study area do not suffer a lower Level of Service ( LOS) out to 2025 while generating— 1, 700 vehicle trips per day. Notifications were mailed to 52 property owners within 200 feet of the subject property. Two responses were received in opposition and none received in favor of the request. Board Discussion Mr. Eric Overton, DR Horton/ DHI addressed the Commissioners and gave a presentation stating that the homes and duplexes will have one and two bedrooms. The stand alone homes will be either two or three bedrooms. Currently, there are no completed similar communities, however there are four in the works but not within the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. The intended market for the community is first time buyers and low maintenance lifestyles, but differ from apartments due to private yards. The parking requirement is 1. 23 parking space per bedroom, and not two spaces per unit as required from the Zoning Ordinance. With the studies performed and the number of single bedroom units proposed, there is ample room for the 1. 23 parking spaces.
