Proximity to Regional Center/Premium Transit Corridor

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
The proposed land use amendment from “Light Industrial” to “Mixed-Use” is requested in order to rezone the property to “IDZ-3 AHOD” High Intensity Infill Development Zone Airport Hazard Overlay District with uses permitted in “C-2,” dwelling units not to exceed 570 units, and an Extended Stay Hotel. This is consistent with the Arena District/Eastside Community Plan’s objective to include smart growth concepts, to include higher residential density targets for main streets and areas in proximity to public transportation. The proposed land use is less intense than the existing “Light Industrial.” The proposed land use is also appropriate to the area in terms of the proximity and access from Interstate 37.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the Arena District/Eastside Community Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
