Item: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning of Tract Three of the K.W. Schick
Addition; approximately 6.8 acres located at 300 ..Southwest Parkway from R-4
Apartments/Low Density to R-5 Apartments/Medium Density. (99-109)
Applicant: Ron Nielson
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting this. rezoning in order to be permitted a 3-
story apartment complex. At this time, the proposal. is fore an 84 unit complex on the total
site for a density of 12 dwelling units per acre. The current zoning would allow 16 units
per acre with a maximum. of 2 '/2 stories and. the requested zoning would allow up to L4
dwelling units at a maximum of 3 '/z stories. Although. the' existing zoning would permit
the intended density, it would not permit the intended height.
The subject property is located within a stretch of Southwest Parkway between Welsh
and 2818, all of which is shown as attached residential on the land use plan except for the
park site that is located immediately to the west of the subject tract. The zoning in this
area shows low, medium, and high density multi-family along Southwest Parkway and
commercial at the intersections. -The filll buildout under either zoning .would be
compatible with the land use pattern in the area.
Item Background: The subject property was. rezoned from A-0 to R-4 in July of 1982
and has remained vacant since that time. The property was platted in September of 1982.
