TEXAS Planning Commlsston Recommendation to the C~ty Council F~bruary 21, 1978 Z-1320 Identity Z-132n This is the petttlon of Mr Grant Jacobsen requesting the zoning classifica- tion on a 13 2 acre tract located generally between Stuart Road and Bell Avenue be changed from Agricultural {A} to Planned Development {PD) Devel- opment plans for the planned development propose the following uses A) 3 7 acres located on the western frontage of Stuart Road ~s proposed to be developed w~th stngle family detached homes on lots totaltnq 4000 square feet uttltzlng the zero lot l~ne conmept B) 5 8 acres located on the north side of the projected extension of Wtndsor Drive, beginning approximately 450 feet west of Stuart Road, proposed for multi-family dwell~nqs A maxmum )00 un~ts will be con- structed on thts site C) 1 9 acres located immediately east of {B}, the apartment area, ts pro- posed to be developed as a common recreational area for use by the restdents in the planned development D)1 8 acres located between Stua)t Road and the recreattonal area to be reserved as a greenbelt Recommendation The Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending that thts pet~tton be approved Th~s petttlon proposes an integrated resldenttal development whtch would include a low density multi-family complex on a tract between Bell Avenue and Stuart Road fronttng on the projected Windsor Drive, together with a detached single famtly development on small lots fronting Stuart Drtve Thts multi-family development ts proposed for a 5 8 acre tract and will have a maximum 100 untts, resultlnq in a unit density rouqhly comparable to that permitted under the Multl-Famtly Restrtcted {MF-R) zone The s~ngle family proposal is for detached houses on 40 by 100 foot lots and is propose: ~o be de e ~e~ in zero lot l~ne fashion This means that the bulldtngs are sited on the lot w~th one building wall on the lot line, leaving space for a usable side yard The untt dens,tv which is proposed for this s~ngle fam,~y development is between that permitted in a normal slngle faml,y (S~-7) and a duplex (2-F) zone It ~s the Planning Commission's feeling that the type of Intermediate housing proposed for this tract ts needed tn Denton and that the proposal ~s designed ~n a manner to be most compattble with adjoining development The multi-family complex is proposed for the center of the tract and is proposed to be surrounded by single family housing The planned devel- opment also proposes a recreation area and a greenbelt along the drainage- way that will act as a buffer between the multi-family complex and the ex~stlng subd~ws~ons There ~s good traffic access to the property Windsor is to be extended through the s~te by the c~ty as a very wide four lane drive and there are several nearby arterial streets that lead into town. The developer has agreed to prowde sidewalks both along Stuart Dr~ve and along Windsor as his properties develop to prowde safe walking access to nearby elementary and junior h~gh schools It should be pointed out that there are serious drainage problems on th~s tract, however, the engineering work for drainage improvements ~s well advanced and these ~mprovements w~ll be completed as a part of the development The Planning Commission feels this is a reasonable request and recommends the following conditions for the planned developmen~ l) No more than 100 un~ts shall be developed on the multi-family slte in this proposal The multi-family development, together w~th the recreational area, shall require s~te plan approval and shall be designed ~n such a manner that w~ll feasibly permit single family housing to be constructed on adjo~n- lng properties as has been proposed 2) The proposal for detached s~ngle family homes on 40 by 100 foot lots w~ll observe m~n~mum setbacks prowded for the SF-7 zone, except that one building wall may be constructed on or near a s~de yard property line and the other s~de yard shall be a m~n~mum of lO feet Plat approval shall con- statute s~te plan approval for th~s s~ngle family area 3) Approved plans for necessary drainage work w~ll be required at the plat approval stage The developers will prowde necessary easements and will meet the requirements of the utility department concerning connection with the ex~st~ng utility l~nes 4) The developer w~ll prowde a four foot w~de sidewalk along his property on Stuart and W~ndsor at the time building construction takes place The developer w~ll be required to prowde this walk adjoining the area proposed for greenbelt and recreation before the multi-family complex is developed 5) The potential drainage problem at the intersection of Stuart and Windsor must be solved to the satisfaction of the city, w~th the partici- pation os ~ develc~e%*pr~or to approval of the subd~ws~on plat The Planning staff supports this request *At their stuJy session on February 13, 1978, the C~ty Council changed Condition 5atth~s point to read "prior to approval by the C~ty Council of the f~nal plat"
