Title
Hold A Public Hearing And Consider An Amendment To The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance To Add Article XX.4 To Establish A Redevelopment Zoning Overlay District Along Josey Lane From Keller Springs Road to Spring Valley Road, And Along Belt Line Road From Josey Lane To Marsh Lane. Case No. 06-15ZT1 Redevelopment Overlay District/City Of Carrollton. Case Coordinator: Michael McCauley.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This is a city-initiated request to amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance by adding Article XX.4 establishing a Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District (Josey-Belt Line Redevelopment Overlay District). The intent of the Redevelopment Overlay District is to remove obstacles to future property redevelopment and rehabilitation, improve the visual character of the affected street corridors, sustain property values, and create incentives to encourage private reinvestment in property and site improvements.
The overlay district concept was presented to the Redevelopment Sub-Committee earlier this year. Once the overlay district is adopted it will be applied to non-residential properties fronting on Josey Lane from Keller Springs Road to the city's southern boundary near Spring Valley Road, and fronting on Belt Line Road from Josey Lane to Marsh Lane.
In addition to the two related zoning cases regarding the Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District, there are two companion items on the City Council agenda which amend the Sign Code and Driveway Ordinance. These are necessary to remove obstacles for future property redevelopment and rehabilitation.
At the September 1, 2015 City Council meeting staff will present a proposed incentive policy for consideration to provide public funding to support private investment in the corridors to redevelop or rehabilitate aging properties.
