Summary of the Project.

The Project includes 142.5 acres in Tracts A, B C.

There is a companion project known as PSP2020-025.  That project involves a 5-story Senior Living Residence with 220 apartments and 30 cottages that would be managed by Forefront Living.

Together with PSP 2020, the Developer’s proposal shows five 5-story residential buildings, two 4-story high density apartment buildings, each with 350 units (Total 700), and attached 4 story parking garages several offices buildings, a 90 room motel and a small restaurant. next to the hotel.  approximately 100 townhomes are proposed at the corner of Windhaven and Spring Creek Parkways

What are some of the issues or important things to know about this Re-Zoning request?

Except for a small parcel, the land is currently zoned Office / Retail.  As such, the is no right build apartments in this area.  That is one of the reasons for the Re-Zoning request.

The current comprehensive plan, the deposed Plano Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan and the draft of the new Comprehensive Plan all designate this land for low intensity office.

The Proposed project is more dense than allowed by the current zoning by 25%.  A Re-Zoning request is required to build the buildings proposed in the concept plan.  

The Developer is planning something much more dense than shown in his concept plan.  In spite of the concept plan, he is actually seeking a RE-Zoning that would allow buildings at 2.5 times the density allowed by current Zoning.  That will be very dense.  

The development as depicted by the developer shows buildings with an aggregate of 2.5 million square feet and buildings up to 5 stories, but the zoning request is for over 5 million square feet with buildings up to 7 stories.

The request does not include the land between the Tollway and Parkwood Boulevard and also excludes the land East of Avignon. That land is another 140 acres in addition to the 142 acres in this Re-Zoning case.  Expect Future Re-zoning cases to greatly increase the density on that land.  Also, on the land at SW corner of Parkwood and Spring Creek, there is existing zoning for multifamily.  This zoning was granted in 2014 when the developer show pictures of a “high-end high-rise condo building with around 110 units, but the zoning that was granted would actually allow about 650 apartments in buildings up to 12 stories.
