PD-41 Summary1 Background Planned Development 41 (2008) Planned Development (PD) 41 was adopted in 2008 with four subdistricts (Neighborhood Shopping, Uptown, Office Park, and Downtown). • The Downtown sub-district (84.9± acres) allows for the development of a mixed -use town center. The proposed mixed use is vertically integrated and would allow for retail, office, and/or high-density residential uses in the same building. The Downtown sub-district allows for the development of 260,000 square feet of office, 382,000 square feet of retail, 102,000 square feet of restaurant, 2,000 high density residential units, a movie theater, a 300,000 square foot 12 story hotel, a convention center, and a town hall. • The Office Park sub-district (39.1± acres) allows for the development of 1,100,000 square feet of office in a typical “suburban” setting. The maximum height of the primary office building is 12 stories, or 180 feet. The other office buildings are all shown as two stories on Exhibit D. • The Uptown sub-district (34.9± acres) allows for the development of additional mixed use with retail, office, and high-density residential uses in the same building. The Uptown sub-district allows for the development of 125,000 square feet of office, 48,000 square feet of retail, and 400 high density residential units. The development in the Uptown sub-district is located around a retention pond that includes an amphitheater. • The Neighborhood Shopping sub-district (29.7± acres) allows for the development of 218,000 square feet of retail, 5,000 square feet of office, and a gas station in a typical “suburban” setting. The intent of the neighborhood shopping is to serve surrounding residential development Within these subdistricts, a list of permitted uses were proposed and standards such as high-density residential development, building height, building materials, building setbacks, and design guidelines were required within the PD. • Staff originally thought the capped was 2,400 units as indicated on Exhibit D. However, per the schedule of uses within the office park subdistrict, multifamily is allowed. Multifamily is allowed within the Uptown, Office Park, and Downtown subdistricts. There is also a picture of multifamily development regarding building materials within the office sub district. • Regarding the density of multifamily, the PD limits multifamily units to 2,000 units within the Downtown subdistrict and 400 units in the Uptown subdistrict. Multifamily use in the Office Park subdistrict is allowed per the schedule of uses, however multifamily development standards are silent. With the absence of development standards in the PD for the Office Park subdistrict related to the Multifamily use which has since been legally reviewed, any development standard that is not in the PD, shall follow the Zoning Ordinance (multifamily regulations). The density is 15 units per acre which allows 586 units within the Office Park subdistrict. Therefore, PD 41 (2008) allowed 400 units in the Uptown subdistrict, 2,000 units in the Downtown subdistrict and up to an additional 586 units within the Office Park subdistrict which is a total of 2,986 units allowed.

The purpose of this amendment was to update the conceptual plan which updated Tract 1 and 2 from office to mulifamily within the office subdistrict and update the proposed phase 1 of children’s medical center within the downtown subdistrict as shown below. It is mentioned within the staff report that Children’s Health was aware that rezoning of the property will be necessary to develop their property as a medical campus, as opposed to the urban mixed-use development intended for by the current zoning.

The applicant has submitted an amendment to reduce the multifamily unit count from the total unit count of 2,986 units to 2,400 units, 2,000 units south of Lovers Lane and 400 in Uptown. They are proposing to redistribute some of allowed units in the downtown subdistrict to the office park subdistrict. It has been mentioned within the staff reports of the previous amendments that children’s property owner is not intended to develop the mixed-use development as indicated on the conceptual plan. The applicant is also proposing to incorporate some of the tollway design guidelines and downtown subdistrict standards since the office sub district did not have any for multifamily. The proposed amendment is still under review and staff is working with the applicant.
