ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The City Council opened the public hearing for this item on August 19, 2024 and continued the public hearing during the four subsequent City Council meetings to allow for a neighborhood meeting and to finalize details related to open space and building setbacks. The Castle Hills Planned Development (PD) District, Ordinance No. 0428-22-ZON, incorporates provisions of the Castle Hills Development Agreement along with the variances to the agreement approved since 1996. The PD allows changes to base zoning districts and the subdistrict concept plans following the zoning processes in the Unified Development Code (UDC). The applicant is requesting to change the base zoning district on 10.207 acres from Planned Development Multi-Family 3 (PD-MF3) District to Planned Development Townhouse Two (PD-TH2) District to allow for a front-entry townhome community where multifamily development had originally been planned. The proposed changes also necessitate an amendment to the approved concept plan. The Concept plan for the Realm South Subdistrict is being amended in its entirety; however, the changes only impact 50.562 acres, which includes the 10.207 acres proposed for rezoning. The proposed concept plan amendment consists of the addition of the proposed townhomes, along with a reconfiguration of the remaining multifamily units. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval unanimously (5-0) on August 6, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
