Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plan Component: North Sector Plan
Plan Adoption Date: August 5, 2010
Goal HOU-1 Continued support for development of diverse housing stock using infill housing development between Loop 1604 and Loop 410.
HOU-1.2 Encourage compatible growth patterns and transitions of higher density residential along principal arterials and transit corridors that fit in with the existing residential character of the North Sector.
HOU-2.3 Utilize High Density Residential as a buffer between principal and arterial roadways / non-residential (i.e. office, retail, commercial uses) and lower density residential housing.
HOU-2.4 Consider the use of High Density Residential along the periphery of concentrated employment areas to foster a compatible land use transition between single family detached/attached residential neighborhoods and concentrated locations of non-residential uses.
LU-3.2 Integrate mixed use areas vertically as well as horizontally, allowing for differing uses within the same building, as well as within the same project area.

Proximity to Regional Center/Premium Transit Corridor
The property is not within a regional center nor is it within a Premium Transit Corridor.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff and Planning Commission (9-0) recommend Approval.
The request to amend a large block in its entirety is an appropriate placement of “General Urban Tier” with access to Loop 1604 and larger roadways, while remaining separate from the residential neighborhood. The proposed “General Urban Tier” is more appropriate in proximity to the freeway and the athletic complex and stadiums. Further, the proposed multifamily component within “General Urban Tier” allows for additional housing within walking distance of large schools.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the North Sector Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
