PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-2) on February 12, 2026.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 10.1± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R, Rural District. The requested L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow for the development of an apartment complex with a maximum of 152 dwelling units, a gross density of 15.05 dwelling units per acre. The limitation text includes use restrictions, maximum number of dwellings units, supplemental development standards addressing building setbacks and height, landscaping, mounding, and screening, and commitments to development the site in accordance with the submitted site plan and building elevations. Although the proposal is higher than the recommended density of the Northland Plan Volume II, which recommends single-unit residential development at three units per acre, the proposal is adjacent to multi-unit residential developments to the west and townhome developments to the southeast. The submitted limitation text and site plan demonstrate two-story buildings with high levels of landscaping, mounding, and screening along the western and southern property lines, activation of a central open space, and a new shared use path along Central College Road, all of which contribute to a site design and use that is compatible to the surrounding neighborhood, and allows for staff support on a higher density proposal at this location. The request is also consistent with City objective to add more housing units in all areas of the city.
