Commission approves rezoning of Christ Church West site for up to about 110 apartment units
Summary
Willow Park commissioners approved rezoning of a roughly 6.03-acre Christ Church West site from commercial/overlay to R3 multifamily; the developer said the proposal aims for about 110 units by repurposing the existing church, and staff confirmed water and wastewater capacity.
The Willow Park Planning and Zoning Commission approved a rezoning request to allow multifamily development on an approximately 6.03-acre property owned by Christ Church West Assembly of God.
Staff described the site as located near Willow Crossing in an area with mixed commercial and residential uses, said preliminary plans were conceptual and proprietary, and reported that engineers confirmed utility capacity for the proposed uses earlier the same afternoon.
Developer representative Caesaria Siggoia said the project would seek to repurpose the existing church building and build about 110 apartment units with a mix of one- and two-bedroom units. "We're shooting for 110 units," Siggoia said. She added developers were balancing parking constraints and site amenities; the conceptual plan included a clubhouse and a fenced swimming pool.
Commissioners questioned buffering and screening between the new multifamily development and adjacent single-family homes; Siggoia said the design would include landscaping, screens, benches, and possibly fencing to provide separation. On building code, commissioners noted that any building over two stories would require sprinklers; staff confirmed those code requirements.
A motion to approve the rezoning for the Christ Church West property passed by voice vote; the transcript records a second and the chair’s announcement of approval but does not contain individual roll-call votes. The approved rezoning allows the property to move forward into plan development and site-plan stages, subject to meter, permit and code-compliance requirements.
Next steps: the developer and city staff will proceed with plan development approvals, finalize utility service arrangements, and submit any required permits for building height, fire protection and other code requirements.
