The applicant is requesting approval to rezone to Planned Development zoning with modified development standards in order to allow for a multiple -family residential development. Ms. Tittle advised the Commission that the request does not meet the Character & Intent as defined in the 2050 Comprehensive Plan nor does it meet the city's zoning definitions associated with single-family dwellings, detached and attached. Chairwoman Patterson -Herndon asked if the development was going to be considered as one lot. Ms. Tittle advised yes. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:20 p.m. Mr. Josh Eadie, with NexMetro Communities, gave a brief presentation to the Commission regarding the request. Commissioner Clemens asked if the applicant had any pictures, they could provide of the homes they have built in Melissa. Mr. Eadie advised that they are currently under construction but the renderings that they have provided would be very similar to what they would build here in Anna. Commissioner Clemens asked which picture from their provided renderings were that of the product they built in Celina. Mr. Eadie had a slide that he was able to navigate to show the Commission which rendering was the product being built in Celina. Commissioner Nylec asked to be clear that the product would be rentals. Mr. Eadie advised yes. Commissioner Ogan asked if the applicant was aware of the 2050 Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Eadie advised that he is aware of it however, the type of product they are proposing is fairly new as opposed to when the Comprehensive Plan was written and they run in to this issue quite often with other cities as well. Commissioner Nylec asked staff if the homes could potentially be sold off. Mr. Altobelli explained that the homes could not be sold off one by one because they will not be individually platted lots. Commissioner Hermann asked if NexMetro Communities will hold on to the project or if they are sold off to other entities. Mr. Eadie advised that there have only been two scenarios where they have had to sell to someone else and that they were two completely situations. Mr. Eadie advised that these are long term investment opportunities for NexMetro and it is better for them to maintain them rather than sell them off. Page 3 of 5 Ms. Stephanie Dingle, residing at 820 Anne Court, spoke in opposition to the project and advised that there are existing traffic issues that need to be addressed before more multifamily is approved in the Anna Town Square area. Ms. Dingle also advised that the city has already approved an increased amount of diversified housing throughout the city including the Anna Town Square area. Mr. Joe Greer, residing at 1314 S. Powell Parkway, spoke in opposition to the zoning request explaining that there is more and more multifamily housing developments that are being approved in Anna and its too much. Mr. Greer wanted the record to reflect that the proposed development would not be allowed to have any type of easement on their side of the property boundary line. If this project is approved, it would make the Greer's want to leave the City of Anna. Mrs. Becky Greer, residing at 1314 S. Powell Parkway, spoke in opposition to the zoning request. Mrs. Greer explained that they have lived in Anna, at their current address, since 1984 and have lived a very peaceful, quiet lifestyle. They are already having to give up right-of-way for TXDOT and having to give up area of their drive for a city waterline. Mrs. Greer explained that if this development were approved, it would take away from the quiet lifestyle they have known. If this were approved there would be noise pollution, light pollution, more and more population, and the wildlife in the area would be gone. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:40 p.m. Mr. Altobelli pulled the locator map back up onto the screen to show the Commission where the Greer's live and where their access drive is located in order to show where the proposed fencing for the proposed project will be located if approved. Chairwoman Patterson -Herndon asked what the required open space is for multifamily projects. Mr. Altobelli explained that required open space for multifamily is 600 square feet for one -bedroom units, 900 square feet for two -bedroom units, and 1,200 square feet for three -bedroom units. Mr. Altobelli also advised that the applicant is providing more than what is required. Commissioner Nylec asked if staff knew how many multifamily projects were currently approved for construction because he has noticed a number of them approved just since he has been on the Commission. Mr. Altobelli listed a few for the Commission that he knows of. Chairwoman Patterson -Herndon asked what the character and intent is for this specific area. Mr. Altobelli advised that the character and intent called out for this area is Cluster Residential and explained how it is defined in our ordinances for platting purposes. A motion was made by Commissioner Nylec, seconded by Commissioner Ogan to recommend denial of the Planned Development zoning request. The motion passed unanimously. 16.
