Council to consider conditional rezones for a 180-unit Sardis Road project and a 100% affordable 383 N. Louisiana proposal
Summary
Planning staff briefed council on two conditional rezoning requests to appear March 10: a 180-unit multifamily project at 230 Sardis Road and an approximately 89-unit, 100% affordable project at 383 North Louisiana Avenue; both received unanimous Planning & Zoning recommendations.
City planning staff told council on March 5 that two conditional rezoning requests will come before the council on March 10.
Chris Collins described the 230 Sardis Road proposal as a conditional rezoning from industrial to residential expansion for a primarily single-building, 180-unit multifamily development adjacent to the Greymont apartments. "Recommendation for approval was unanimous from the Planning & Zoning Commission," Collins said, and he told council staff had not received neighborhood complaints on this application.
Collins said the 383 North Louisiana Avenue request will be processed as a conditional zoning because the Office-1 district's 4,000-square-foot building footprint limit prevents the developer from fitting the proposed structure. Staff indicated the proposal is for roughly 89 units and carries a commitment that 100% of units will be affordable at 80 percent of area median income. Collins said the Planning & Zoning Commission also recommended that project for approval.
Council members asked staff to produce a speculative estimate of future property-tax revenue for large housing projects to help budgeting discussions; Collins said staff could explore how to present that approximate revenue range. Both rezoning items were presented as public-hearing items on the March 10 agenda; no final council decisions were taken during the briefing.
