This would apply 37 acres to office use, 14 acres to retail characterized by the buildings generally larger that neighborhood retail establishments but all under 50,000 square feet, and the final 23 acres would be rezoned as a medium density multi‐ family zoning. The staff has not received any complaints from the neighboring property owners, though some are in attendance at the meeting.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned a cul‐de‐sac being present in the rezoning area. Mr. Kass advised that it was from a preliminary plat that did not come to fruition a few years ago.  Commissioners Hoifeldt and Streit questioned what all would be changing along the Ashworth Road corridor and Mr. Kass advised that it would remain commercial in the event of a rezoning.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the residents would need to move, a Resident in attendance, John Harsey who resides on Ashworth Road did approach the podium and voiced his concern about the future of the residents if the rezoning was to be passed. He advised that he would want to leave if it was going to have retail so close and he was sure that several others would do so as well. Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if he had ever discussed with the owners if they would purchase his lot for the change, and advised Mr. Kass to get them in touch with one another.  Mr. Kass did advise that there was future developments, without a timeline, regarding Ashworth Road that may mean that the City would need to purchase the lots for additional right of way, and upon further questioning from Commissioner Schmidt explained that it would probably be extended to a 4 lane road for the amount of traffic expected meaning the right of way would need to expand from the current 80 feet to around 120 feet of right of way. Motion by Commissioner Nigro, seconded by Commissioner Shanks to approve the rezoning related to a change from A‐1 (Agricultural District) to K‐MF‐Stacked Med ( Kettlestone Multi‐family Stacked Medium District), K‐RC ( Kettlestone Retail Community District), and K‐OF ( Kettlestone Office District) [ Ashworth Properties, LLC], subject to any remaining staff comments and review of all legal documents by the City Attorney. Ayes: Fontenot, Streit, Nigro, Hoifeldt, Broderick, Schmidt and Shanks. Nays: none. Motion carried. STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: The proposed rezoning request is generally consistent with the Kettlestone Master Plan. RECOMMENDATION: Introduce the Ordinance and approve the first consideration.

LAND USES AND ZONING: Location Existing Land Use Kettlestone Master Plan Current Zoning Property in Question Vacant - Undeveloped Community Retail/Office/Multi-Family A-1 North Vacant Med. Density Multi-Family Office A-1 South Existing Single Family Homes Community Retail A-1 East Vacant Multi-Family Rowhouses A-1 West Vacant Community Retail Office A-1/C-4/PD-1 BACKGROUND: The subject property is located within the Kettlestone Corridor and includes approximately 74 acres located on the east side of Grand Prairie Parkway and north of Ashworth Road. The property is a part of the Kettlestone Development Corridor. To date, the City has made the investment in the development of the Alice’s Road Corridor Plan which was followed up by the Kettlestone Master Plan and Kettlestone Design Guidelines. The purpose of the Kettlestone Master Plan and Guidelines was to define the overall land use plan for the Corridor along with the associated and intended types of development. Although all property within the Kettlestone Corridor is still required to go through the formal rezoning process, the intent was to stream line the process as it pertains to the requirements for specific development plans if the requested rezoning generally met the intent as established within the Kettlestone Master Plan. March 4, 2016 2 of 3 The applicant has submitted a rezoning request that includes approximately 37 acres of property proposed to be rezoned to the Kettlestone Office Zoning District, approximately 14 acres proposed to be rezoned to the Kettlestone Community Retail District and approximately 23 acres proposed to be rezoned to Kettlestone Multi-Family Stacked Medium District. Generally speaking the proposed rezoning request coincides with the Kettlestone Master Plan. Notice regarding the rezoning request was mailed to the surrounding property owners on March 1, 2016. Additionally, signs regarding the rezoning date and time for Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council have been placed on the property. ABOVE LEFT: Aerial of Property under consideration for Rezoning to Community Retail , Office and Multi-Family. ABOVE RIGHT: Kettlestone Master Plan with overlay of proposed Zoning. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed rezoning request includes the rezoning of approximately 37 acres at the north end of the site for office development. The boundaries of the district include frontage along Grand Prairie Parkway as well as frontage along Tallgrass Lane which will eventually border the north end of the property. The southern boundary of the district is what is proposed as Esker Ridge Drive which will be a major east-west collector and will separate the office development from the anticipated retail development to the south. The proposed district generally allows for any type of office use as well as some ancillary uses typically considered to align with office buildings. The district regulations and guidelines allow for buildings to be pushed up closer to the March 4, 2016 3 of 3 public streets and adjacent to the public ponds to take advantage of the proposed greenbelt system. The proposed Kettlestone Office district is generally in conformance with the approved Master Plan. Approximately 14 acres of the property is proposed to be rezoned for Community Commercial Development (K – RC). This district is characterized by the buildings that are generally larger than a neighborhood retail establishment but not as large as a big box store. Developments within this district will be restricted to individual buildings that are less than 50,000 square feet. Similar to the office district, setbacks are reduced to allow for greater flexibility in design and configuration with the adjacent street network and greenbelt system. The proposed rezoning generally follows the Kettlestone Master Plan. The remainder of the property contains approximately 23 acres along the eastern edge of the property that is proposed to be rezoned as Multi-Family Stacked Medium (K-MF-Stacked Med). This district is characterized by developments that generally have density ranges between 8 and 14 units per acre and are more multi-family in nature. This area is intended to act as a transition between the more commercial uses planned to the west and the more residential uses planned to the east. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The proposed rezoning request is generally consistent with the approved Kettlestone Master Plan and Kettlestone Design Guidelines and staff would recommend approval. The property included within the rezoning will be required to go through platting and site plan approval prior to any individual development within the property.
