Rezone of 31 acres at 1000 West 200 South to Mixed Use, Ordinance 22-11 (workshop)
Discussed
Planner Tanya Rice presented a request to rezone 31.39 acres on three vacant, formerly agricultural parcels from Commercial Services and Commercial to Mixed Use. The mixed use zone allows up to 941 units (about 30 an acre), a minimum of 7,500 square feet of commercial space and three street connections. Staff recommended approval because the future land use plan designates the area for mixed use. The Planning Commission voted 5-1 for approval on April 14. Chair Simmonds and Amy Anderson voiced concern about apartment density, Tom Jensen asked about connectivity and conditions, and Anderson raised the 200 South entrance near Ellis Elementary. The chair said the council cannot require zoning conditions. Action was set for May 17.

Michael Jewell of Triiio Group described a planned center with 60,000 to 80,000 square feet of commercial space, 300 to 350 apartments and 100 townhomes at about 14 units an acre, possibly with a small grocery, and asked the council to act on the rezone or continue it while code changes are made. Four Ellis-area speakers raised concerns: past promised retail was never built, the area has little retail, transit or parks, and earlier rezones had negative effects; one asked for more neighborhood input. Chair Simmonds said the project lacks compatibility with Ellis and that the proposal is far less dense than the zone allows; Amy Anderson said the council should not craft a zone for one parcel. The city attorney said an application is judged under the rules in place when it was filed and a deed restriction cannot be added now. The council continued the item to June 7 to let a code amendment go to the Planning Commission and give residents time to comment.

Approved · 5-0
The council adopted the rezone of 31.39 acres from Commercial Services and Commercial to Mixed Use. The Planning Commission recommended approval 5-1. Planner Russ Holley said the new mixed-use language applies as a pending ordinance, the applicant has no project ready yet, and the request will go to the Planning Commission next month. Council Member Amy Anderson said the mixed-use code is being changed not for the benefit of this project. No one spoke.
