Commission recommends PDD for Carriage Hills site with landscaping and setback conditions
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of Z2026-24 to rezone 6.86 acres at East Beltway to a planned development (PDD 200) for multifamily uses with staff conditions requiring trees in parking islands, a privacy fence and ornamental street trees.
Planner Kara Veil presented Z2026-24, a request to rezone approximately 6.86 acres known as the Shops at Carriage Hills from general retail to a planned development district (PDD 200) permitting multifamily uses with modified setbacks. Kara said staff sent notifications within a 200-foot buffer and received one favor and two oppositions, and that staff recommended approval with several conditions including a minimum of one tree per parking island, a privacy fence along the eastern property line, and ornamental trees along East Beltway.
Tal (agent for the owner) said the PD aligns with previously planned development intentions for Carriage Hills and that his client accepts the staff conditions; he described plans to push buildings toward the interior with parking inward and noted a large transmission right-of-way provides buffer to the north. Commissioners discussed whether the PD was appropriate given the corridor location and the item passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The recommendation will move to City Council for the standard hearing process.
