Background Information:
Applications for Preferred Scenario Amendments/ Comprehensive Plan Amendments are considered in accordance with Chapter 2, Article 4, Division 2 of the Land Development Code.The 1.13 acre tract of land is part of a wider 2.8 acre tract being proposed by the applicant for a student housing development (please refer to the attached Concept Plan for the complete site proposal) - a Preferred Scenario Amendment is not required for the remaining 1.67 acres as they are already designated as “High Intensity- Downtown”. The application is accompanied by a Zoning Change to Character District 5-D (ZC-23-19), a Conditional Use Permit for Student Housing (CUP-23-22) and an Alternative Compliance request to increase the permitted height from 5 to 7 stories (AC-23-09) for the wider 2.8 acre site. These applications will be considered concurrently and will be subject to separate public hearings. The site is currently zoned multifamily (MF-12 and MF-18) and contains several existing residential structures identified on the Historic Resources Survey; 419 North St is identified as “High Priority”, and 409 North St and 413 Lindsey St are classified as “Medium Priority” on the survey. These structures would be subject to the City’s Demolition Delay Ordinance. There are no lots which are zoned Conventional Single Family within 200 ft of the property. As this Preferred Scenario Amendment application coincides with the City initiated Comprehensive Plan re-write, (VisionSMTX), the applicant has also requested that the property be designated as “Neighborhood-High” should the updated Comprehensive Plan be adopted before this amendment is finalized.
