Planning commission approves planned development for Turning Point transitional housing at 2400 Hill
Summary
The San Angelo Planning Commission unanimously approved a planned development to convert 2400 Hill/2336 Randolph into low-rise multifamily housing run with Concho Valley Turning Point, subject to permits, parking, lighting and fence conditions. The nonprofit said the site will provide transitional housing and services for people exiting incarceration, rehab or homelessness.
The San Angelo Planning Commission voted 5–0 on Oct. 20 to approve a planned development (PD 25-062400) to rezone 2400 Hill Street and 2336 South Randolph from single-family to a planned-development zoning with a low-rise multifamily (RM-1) base, allowing construction of apartments and refurbishment of an existing building for office and storage.
Ray Lineberry, lead planner, told the commission the 2.457-acre proposal would create low-rise multifamily housing and retain an existing building for some office and storage use. Staff recommended approval with six conditions, including obtaining building permits and a change of occupancy for the existing structure, provision of required parking for both apartments and office/storage, shielding of exterior lighting away from nearby residences, and an urban design review. Staff also requested opaque fencing along three sides of the property.
Adrienne McCravy, a board member and volunteer with Concho Valley Turning Point, told commissioners the nonprofit partners with United Way and operates transitional housing programs. McCravy said the 76903 ZIP code has high need and the project would provide transitional housing for people leaving incarceration, substance-abuse treatment or homelessness and help families reunify and access services closer to home.
“Bringing services to this neighborhood makes things more accessible for people who have difficulty accessing services in the rest of San Angelo,” McCravy said.
Commissioners approved the PD 5–0 after a motion by Commissioner Patrick and a second; the approval allows the applicant to proceed with design and permitting while meeting the conditions imposed by staff. The applicant will need to obtain required building permits, a change of occupancy, and comply with parking and fencing requirements before any housing units open.
The planning director said the city expects more redevelopment and a housing-study synopsis next month that could inform future policy and zoning updates.
