Owner / Applicant: R/P LPC II, LTD Site Location: 2590 (2500) River Park Drive Mapsco: 74Z Proposed Use: Multifamily Request: From: “G” Intensive Commercial

To: “UR” Urban Residential

Land Use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible. Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent. Staff Recommendation: Approval Background: The proposed site is located at the northwest corner of River Park Drive and Bryant Irvin Road. The applicant is proposing to change the zoning to from “G” Intensive Commercial to “UR” Urban Residential for multifamily development. The railroad abuts the site to the north and the Clearfork mixed use development and Chisholm Trail Parkway is located to the east. The applicant has been working with city Transportation staff to work through concerns of accessibility and safety to the site. The developer is planning to construction a southbound deceleration lane from Bryant Irvin on private property in order to allow travelers to exit the road and enter the site. No left turn will be allowed from this point. Other traffic will be accessed from River Park on the south side of the property. The preliminary layout of the site includes open space and parking toward the offices to the west in order to minimize the effect of the development. The location of this UR district will be approximately 2/3 of a mile from the higher densities and amenities provided at Clearfork. Site Information:

Development Impact Analysis: 1. Land Use Compatibility

The applicant is proposing a zoning change to “UR” for Urban Residential. Surrounding use consist of commercial uses to the east and west, townhomes to the south, and a railroad to the north. Urban residential is designed to provide a residential density transition zone between low density single-family and higher density commercial areas. As a result, the proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses.

2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency

The 2018 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as General Commercial, reflecting the current zoning of the property. However, because the nature or “UR” zoning is to act as a buffer between low density single-family and higher density commercial areas, the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the following policies.

• Locate multifamily units adjacent collector streets, arterial streets, or rail transit stations. • Encourage Urban Residential and Low Density Residential as transitional uses between

Single-Family Residential and high density uses Attachments: • Location Map • Area Zoning Map with 300 ft. Notification Area
