Developer seeks rezoning to build 52 townhomes, cites $2.5 million site costs
Summary
A developer for Medina Jet (TDS Capital 2 LLC) requested rezoning from CUP to TR for 52 attached dwellings across about 46 acres, saying site topography and roughly $2.5 million in development costs make higher density necessary; staff said TR may be more suitable than a CUP modification.
An applicant representing Medina Jet (TDS Capital 2 LLC) asked planners to rezone a 46-acre parcel from Community Unit Plan (CUP) to Townhome Residential (TR) to permit 52 attached dwellings. The applicant said the team originally planned 30 detached single-family homes but shifted to 52 attached townhomes because topography and higher-than-expected site-development costs (approximately $2,500,000) made the original plan financially unviable.
The applicant described amenity plans including a clubhouse with parking, a grilling pavilion, a pickleball court, an oversized fire pit, walking trails and a preserved stream corridor with benches and landscaping. A resident asked what exceptions the suburban-neighborhood definition allows and whether a CUP modification could permit the attached units; staff said because the proposal involves attached units, TR zoning would likely be more appropriate than CUP and encouraged further conversation outside the meeting.
The applicant asked whether the city would consider a modification to the CUP to avoid a full rezoning; staff said they could discuss options with the applicant but that the current view is TR is the right designation for attached townhomes. The item will continue through the standard rezoning and public-participation process.
