Explanation
Rezoning Amendment Z19-006A
Ordinance #1695-2019, passed July 1, 2019 (Z19-006), rezoned being 18.25± acres located on the south side of Park Road, 230± feet west of Storrow Drive to L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District and L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. Sections 2 and 3 of that ordinance contained incorrect reference to a height district and building height for the L-AR-1 District, though elevations correctly indicated the 45 foot building heights which would require a 60 foot height district. This ordinance corrects those sections to reflect a height district of 60 feet and building height commitment of 45 feet for the L-AR-1 District. The L-M District is unchanged. All other aspects of Ordinance #1695-2019 remain in effect, and are included in this amendment.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

OWNER: Parkview Village, LLC
APPLICANT: Wilcox Communities LLC
DATE OF TEXT: 6/6/19 8/16/2019

1. INTRODUCTION: The site is zoned for multi-family development with the requirement for constructing a public street thru the development to connect Park Road with Alta Drive. The western boundary of the site borders an active railroad track.
