Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE HDR (High Density Residential) One Year Plan designation.
Allowing high density residential uses at this location within the town center development will bring more residents to the area to support the surrounding town center uses. Previous town center plans had shown apartments to the north of this site where the new Northshore Elementary School is now located. This site had been designated for townhouses. Both of these uses would have required residential densities at least in the medium density range. The location of 246 apartments on this site as proposed may be more appropriate as it is closer to Northshore Dr. and more on the edge of the overall town center development.
Disposition Summary
HDR (High Density Residential) One Year Plan designation.
