Title
Rezoning Petition: 2015-093 by 1351 Woodlawn (Melrose), LLC
Body
Update: Requesting Deferral to September 18, 2017
Location: Approximately 2.9 acres located on the south side of Drexel Place and north side of Woodlawn Road near the intersection of Park Road and Drexel Place and Park Road and Woodlawn Road. (Council District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: R-4 (single family residential) and UR-3(CD) (urban residential, conditional)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development, conditional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 5-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff disagrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee as the scale, mass and encroachment into the single family area is inconsistent with the adopted area plan.
Statement of Consistency:
• The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the Park Woodlawn Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
• The plan recommends residential for the portion of the site along Woodlawn Road and single-family residential at R-4 for the lots along Drexel Place.
• However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
• The development will provide a transition to the single family homes across Drexel Place; and
• At grade entrances along Drexel Place will enhance the pedestrian environment along the site frontage; and
• New rental product will replace the old existing stock.
