(a) Public Hearing: To consider public comment regarding an ordinance amending the City’s comprehensive plan, zoning map and zoning ordinance and changing the zoning of certain property. Millenium TLC Enterprises LLC, owner(s) of property, is requesting a zoning change to Planned Development (PD) zoning to provide for Downtown Redevelopment District with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for apartments/condominiums above the first floor on the subject tract. The property is currently zoned as Single Family Residential (SF) and Restricted Commercial (C1) zoning. The property is located at 205 N. Powell Pkwy. The Public Hearing opened at 7:08 p.m. Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation regarding the zoning request. He noted that the City has received an application for a zoning change on 0.717 Acres of land located at the northwest corner of Third Street and North Powell Parkway. The proposed zoning and Specific Use Permit (SUP) will allow uses that are appropriate for development within the Anna’s “downtown” area. The proposed structure for the site will contain approximately 23,894 square feet of restaurant, bakery, office and apartments. The apartments are confined to the second floor. It is anticipated that the restaurant will have outdoor seating adjacent to North Powell Parkway utilizing the front setback while installing other amenities adjacent to or within North Powell Parkway’s right-of-way such as sidewalks and landscaping. Additionally, head in parking improvements are anticipated in the Third Street right-of-way which is also encouraged. The proposed zoning is in keeping with the Anna Comprehensive Plan by meeting the goal to make the downtown more sustainable by providing places to work, live and play in close proximity. It is anticipated that this development as well as others that are planned will be a catalyst for other developments in the area. The upstairs apartments require the approval of a SUP. The staff is recommending approval of this request for a change of zoning and approval of the SUP.
