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

of the f~nal plat"
