The property is located west of Grand Prairie Parkway and north of SE Encompass Drive. The applicant received submitted consent to the rezoning with consent from 50.1% from neighboring property owners for the area proposed to be rezoned. Rezoning signs were placed on the property and notices were mailed to adjacent property owners. Staff has received no correspondence regarding this request. The applicant has provided a concept plan for the proposed project. The concept plan identifies the construction of a 17,640 square foot, 49-foot high apartment building. The proposed building is planned to have 87 units total. In addition, to the proposed building, the concept plan identifies the associated parking that is required for the site. Access to the development will be provided by a joint access shared with the adjoining Encompass office building to the west. The applicant has requested a planned development overlay to accommodate some of the unique aspects of the project. The applicant has requested that a maximum density of 39 units per acre be allowed. The maximum density within the K-MF Stacked High district is 24 units per acre. The applicant has indicated that the proposed density is necessary to make the project successful and to provide additional housing options closer to work for employees of existing and future businesses in the area. The applicant has also requested that minimum floor areas of 375 square feet for studio apartment units and 570 square feet for one-bedroom units be allowed in lieu of the K-MF-Stacked High requirement of 600 square feet. The applicant has indicated that small families and young G2 professionals are the target market for this project who desire less space and more amenities in and around the building. The Kettlestone Master Plan identifies the subject property for office development. While the Master Plan does not specifically identify this property for high density residential, the intent behind the Kettlestone Master Plan was to plan the area appropriately, while also allowing flexibility where certain land uses make sense. Integrating housing into a developing office park area is a measure that is appropriate to allow for employees to choose to live closer to work, if they wish to do so. In addition, the proposed entertainment district to the south of the subject property will require housing options for the employees of that area as well. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the rezoning request on June 8, 2021 and recommended approval: Approval of a Rezoning related to a change from K-OF (Kettlestone Office District)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay) to K-MF-Stacked High (Kettlestone Multi-Family Stacked High District) / PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay) [Kettlestone Apartments] Senior Planner, Andy Kass, introduce the request for approval of a rezoning for a high-density residential development as submitted by the applicant, Downing Construction. The property is generally located west of Grand Prairie Parkway and north of SE Encompass Drive containing approximately 2.28 acres. The applicant has received approximately 50.1% consent from adjacent property owners for the rezoning. To date, staff has not received correspondence for or against the rezoning. Mr. Kass advised that the concept plan submitted for the project identifies the construction of a 17,640 square foot, 49 foot high apartment building. The proposed building includes approximately 87 units from 375 square feet to 570 square feet in size. The planned development document addresses the size of the units as they are below the minimum K-MF- Stacked square footage requirement of 600 square feet. The planned development document also addresses the applicants request to increase the maximum density from 24 units per acre to 39 units per acre to allow for the project. The applicant has indicated that the proposed density makes the project successful and provides additional housing options for the employees of businesses in the area. Parkland dedication equaling approximately 0.96 acres will be required for the project. At this time staff would recommend approval of the rezoning for Kettlestone Apartments due to the project being generally consistent with the Kettlestone master Plan.  Commissioner Inman questioned if there were any micro units on the market. Mr. Kass advised that there is a project currently under construction that is looking to provide a similar product, but they may not be on the market at this time.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if there were any other changes to the zoning specifications within the Planned Development document. Mr. Kass advised no. The height of the building is within the original zoning specifications.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if changing the zoning would have an effect on City Taxes. Mr. Kass advised that it more than likely would not create as much tax revenue, but as the property where this project was originally supposed to go is intended to be rezoned back to commercial, there is not a large change for the area as far as impact is concerned. The previous location of the project was proving difficult to design appropriate parking which inspired the move.  Commissioner Broderick questioned if this project would be part of a larger Owner’s Association. Mr. Kass advised that was correct. SE Encompass Drive is a private street, so there is a Master Owners Association that the developments are a part of. Commissioner Hoifeldt moved to approve the rezoning related to a change from K-OF (Kettlestone Office District)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay) to K-MF-Stacked High (Kettlestone Multi-Family Stacked High District) / PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay) [Kettlestone Apartments] subject to any remaining staff comments. Commissioner Inman seconded the motion. Ayes: Streit, Koshy, Inman, Broderick, and Streit. Nays: None. Motion Carries. STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the proposed rezoning request based on its conformance with the Comprehensive Plan/Kettlestone Master Plan. RECOMMENDATION: Hold the Public Hearing. ATTACHMENTS: I. Staff Report II. Rezoning Map III. Concept Plan IV. Concept Elevations V.
