Board backs Park Hill/Baxter Trusts rezoning to allow mixed SF‑2 / auto‑urban commercial plan, 8–0
Summary
The board recommended approval of Park Hill/Baxter Trusts’ request to rezone portions of a site to SF‑2 and Auto Urban Commercial to support a mixed residential and commercial plan; staff reported 30 letters in favor and the board voted 8–0 to advance the item to city council.
The Lubbock planning staff presented zone case 3553, a request from Park Hill for Baxter Trusts to rezone parts of a site to low-density single-family (SF‑2) and Auto Urban Commercial (AC) to accommodate a mixed residential and commercial development. Staff said 45 notices were mailed and reported 30 in favor and no opposition.
Developer and project representatives described a plan intended to transition from commercial along 114th Street to residential uses, pointing to an approved cut-and-fill plan, pedestrian connections and vehicular access off 114th Street. Developer Andy Beam of Lovell Lane Company said the development would include walkable offices, restaurants and neighborhood-oriented retail and that a commercial association would enforce architectural standards and maintenance.
No public speakers opposed the request during the hearing. After discussion on compatibility and buffering, the board moved and approved the recommendation 8–0 and will forward the item to city council for the council’s consideration on March 24.
