DESCRIPTION: Request to rezone 0.4± acre located on the west side of N. Riggins Street, 671± feet north of Anthony Street. The rezoning request is from SF-1 Single -Family Residential District (SF-1) to Planned Development-SF-TH Townhome District (PD-SF-TH). HISTORY: At the June 6, 2022 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting the commission tabled and held open the public hearing in order for the applicant to provide a rendering of the townhouse product being proposed. In October 2021 a similar rezoning request was presented to the city for the subject property (SF-TH Townhome District with modified development standards). The request was associated with an 8-unit townhome development on one lot with modified development standards. REMARKS: The current zoning request is to allow a six (6) unit townhouse development with modified development standards. The SF-TH district is intended to provide for a medium density residential environment of attached townhome units. A Planned Development (PD) district is intended to provide for combining and mixing of uses allowed in various districts with appropriate regulations and to permit flexibility in the use and design of land and buildings in situations where modification of specific provisions of this article is not contrary to its intent and purpose or significantly inconsistent with the planning on which it is based and will not be harmful to the community. A PD district may be used to permit new and innovative concepts in land utilization. While great flexibility is given to provide special restrictions which will allow development not otherwise permitted, procedures are established herein to insure against misuse of the increased flexibility. A Concept Plan, Salida Del Sol, Block A, Lot 1, accompanies this rezoning request (Exhibit A). Surrounding Land Use and Zoninq The area of the request is currently developed as a single-family residence, detached neighborhood. The surrounding zoning is Single -Family Residential District - 1 (SF-1). The SF-1 zoning is designed to accommodate the standard single-family residential development. The typical lot size within this neighborhood is 7,500 square feet, which is larger than most existing/proposed single-family residential subdivisions. The properties to the north, south, and west are developed as single-family residences detached and to the east, across N. Riggins Street is the DART rail line. Proposed Planned Development Stipulations The applicant is proposing to modify existing development standards of the SF-TH zoning district. Townhouse units would be allowed by -right and subject to the following additional standards; 1. Minimum Lot Width (feet): 16 City Regulation: Lot width for a lot containing townhouse units shall be not less than 20 feet per ground floor unit plus side yard requirements. 2. Minimum Lot Depth (feet): 95 City Regulation: Min. lot depth (feet): 160 3. Min. Lot area/size (feet): 2,500 per unit City Regulation: Minimum lot sizes for townhouses and zero lot line houses shall be 2,700 square feet per unit. 4. Rear Entry provision: 5. Driveway Parking Area: (removed) 45% of residential front yard City Regulation: A single -width driveway running from the street access to a garage or other parking area shall not utilize more than 15% of any residential front yard. 6. General Landscape Standard Allow mature tree (25 feet or greater) within 25 feet of the nearest overhead utility. Attached, Exhibit 1, is the applicants proposed justification associated with the modified standards request. Conformance with the City of Anna Strategic Plan and Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map — The Future Land Use Map designates this property within the Downtown Master Plan limits classified as "Intown Residential' Intown Residential Downtown Anna contains several pockets of I istonc residential fabric that surround the Downtown Core, defining the character of this area and supporting it as a unique and diverse district. As the community grows over time, reinvestment in the Intown Residential areas will remain essential in maintaining and elevating the quality of each neighborhood. These mess, aloN with surrounding undeveloped parcels, can provide the critical residential base necessary to support the businesses envisioned for Downtown. Additionally, there is an opportunity to provide a wide range of more urban housing products that could accommodate people at all stages of their lives. Future land use decisions in this area should emphasise sound neighborhood placemaking principles, such as walkable sheets and amenifzed open spaces, to reinforce civic life and allow neighbors to maintain connections throughout their communty. The following primary building types are appropiete in Intown Residential (Detached residential): OF The following secondary building types we appropiate in Intown Residential (Churches. Civic Structures, Accessory Structures. Open Spaces): Kimley-»Horn ANNA 2050 DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN 21 Townhomes (although not listed as a primary building type) are shown in the illustrations as appropriate primary building types. The requested PD language would allow for an urban style of development within'/< mile of the heart of the Downtown Core as identified in the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan. The proposed land use is consistent with the Master Plan due to providing the critical residential base necessary to support businesses envisioned for Downtown and providing for a more urban housing product that could accommodate people at all stages of their lives. ISSUES: The city's zoning regulations were adopted to promote health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community. They're made in accordance with the spirit of the comprehensive plan and designed to lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers; to promote health and the general welfare, to provide adequate light and air; to prevent overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population; [and] to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements. These regulations are made with reasonable consideration, among other things, to the character of the district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the city. While the proposed SF-TH land use is supported by the Downtown Master Plan, the zoning request is seeking to modify adopted standards which are intended to provide for the orderly, safe, health, and uniform development within the city. There are two (2) regulations the applicant is seeking relief that would not be needed if the development was reduced by one (1) townhouse unit. 1. Minimum lot area (2,700 per unit). 2. Minimum lot width (20 feet per unit plus side yard requirements). When considering planned development zoning requests City officials need to identify what benefits the particular request brings to the city as well as benefits to the surrounding area/neighborhoods. The applicants general statement citing the reason for the reduced lot area and lot width provides no justification behind the variance request other than identifying a land use: "The variance will allow for units to be developed on this site which complement the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan; specifically, Intown Residential" SUMMARY: Request to rezone 0.4± acre from Single -Family Residence-1 (SF-1) to Planned Development -Single -Family Residence — Townhome (PD-SF-TH) to allow from a townhouse unit development with modified development standards.

RECEIVED 1, 2022 Salida Del Sol July PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT Exhibit 1 Requested Variances or Relief from SF-TH Regulations: CITY OF ANNA June 20, 2022 Page 1 of 1 Density: Density is only stated as "Medium" Density per Sec. 9.04.015 SF-TH; a specific number of units per acre is not provided. High Density is defined as a maximum of 25 units per gross acre in Sec. 9.04.020 0), MF-2 Multiple -Family Residential - High Density (Miscellaneous Provisions). Medium Density is defined as a maximum of 12 units per gross acre in Sec. 9.04.019 0), MF-1 Multiple -Family Residential - Medium Density (Miscellaneous Provisions). Salida Del Sol calculates at 17 units per gross acre; however, only 6 units are proposed for this project. Each unit will be sprinklered for fire protection with two (2) points of entry and exit for safety. The variance for this density will allow for units to be developed on this site which complement the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan; specifically, Intown Residential (ref. page 21). This project is within the identified "Intown residential" area. Lot area (feet): Appendix 1 shows zoning SF-TH to have a lot area of 2,700 sf per unit. Salida Del Sol calculates at 2,518 sf per unit. The lot depth is less than 160' and the width varies as the shape is not uniform. This project is a three-story structure under the 35' maximum height and the building covers 32% of the lot. The variance for lot area per unit will allow for units to be developed on this site which complement the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan; specifically, Intown Residential (ref. page 21). This project is within the identified "Intown residential" area. Minimum lot depth (feet): Appendix 1 shows zoning SF-TH to have a minimum lot depth of 160 feet. Salida Del Sol has a minimum lot depth of 95.38' and the proposed project is within the front and rear setbacks. The variance for minimum lot depth will allow for a project to be developed on this site which complements the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan; specifically, Intown Residential (ref. page 21). This project is within the identified "Intown residential" area. Sec. 9.04.015(d)(2), SF-TH Townhome District (Height & Area Requirements; Lot Area): This section specifies minimum lot sizes for townhouses shall be 2,700 square feet per dwelling unit. Salida Del Sol calculates at 2,518 sf per unit. This project is a three-story structure under the 35' maximum height and the building covers 32% of the lot. The variance for minimum lot size per dwelling unit will allow for units to be developed on this site which complement the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan; specifically, Intown Residential. This project is within the identified "Intown residential" area. Sec. 9.04.015(g)(1), SF-TH Townhome District (Miscellaneous provisions, rear entry off-street parking): This section specifies rear entry off-street parking shall be provided. Salida Del Sol has a wide shallow lot and to provide rear entry parking does not complement the adjacent single-family residents to the rear. The present site layout respects the vegetative green space all the properties in this area share at the rear of their lots. The variance for rear entry off- street parking will allow for units to be developed on this site which complement the adjacent zoning and properties as there is not an alley way along the rear property lines in this neighborhood. Sec. 9.06.006(a)(5), LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS (Minimum landscaping requirements; General, horizontal location to nearest overhead utility line): This section specifies no trees with a maximum mature height of 25 feet or greater may be planted within 25 feet measured horizontally from the nearest overhead utility line. Salida Del Sol is a shallow lot of 95.38' depth. There are overhead utility lines along the front and rear of the lot. The variance for horizontal spacing from overhead utility lines will allow for this project to plant trees within the 20' front yard setback. 3 RR 'di if THE CITY OF Anna Please circle one: i favor of reques9 Neutral to request Opposed to request By signing this letter, I declare I am the owner or authorized agent of the property at the address written below.
