In 2003 the Planning and Zoning Commission initiated a rezoning
from LI (Light Industrial) to HC (Highway Commemial) on this
property as part ofa rezoning effort to place HC zoning on properties
abutting and in close proximity to S.H. 121. In conjunction with the
zoning change, an amendment to the 1996 Comprehensive Master
Plan was also approved changing the land use from Light
Industrial/Showroom to Mixed Use.
In August 2004 Council approved a rezoning and a preliminary plat
to allow a 155-1ot townhouse residential PD for this property. Also
approved was an amendment to the Comprehensive Master Plan,
revising the land use designation from Mixed Use to Medium
Density Residential.
On November 18, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Commission
approved a Final Plat for Phase 1 (12.7 acres) to allow for the
construction of 93 townhouse units and 13 common areas. Two
extensions to the 6-month expiration (June 14th and July 26, 2005)
were granted by City Council. The infrastructure is now in place,
and construction of the first phase of the townhome development is
eminent.
