Body
BACKGROUND:
This is a city-initiated request for approval of a Redevelopment Overlay District (Josey - Belt Line) along Josey Lane and Belt Line Road. The proposed district is approximately 125 acres and consists of commercial, office and light industrial uses fronting on Josey Lane from Keller Springs Road to the city’s southern boundary near Spring Valley Road, and on Belt Line Road from Josey Lane to Marsh Lane.
The intent of the Redevelopment Overlay District is to remove obstacles to future property redevelopment and rehabilitation, improve the visual character of the street corridors, sustain property values, and encourage private reinvestment in property and site improvements.
This initiative is one of City Council’s 2014 strategic sustainability objectives.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
On June 4, 2015, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended APPROVAL. The attached ordinance reflects the action of the Commission. Although the action of the Commission was unanimous, public opposition has been received. Therefore, this item is being placed on the Public Hearing - Individual Consideration portion of the agenda.
