SUMMARY:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Future Land Use Map designation from Commercial to Mixed Use for 21.8 acres. Sheffield Village Phase IV, Block 3, City of Grand Prairie, Tarrant County, Texas, zoned PD-140, within the IH-20 Corridor Overlay District and the SH-360 Corridor Overlay District, and addressed as 3025 W IH-20.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of the request is to amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from Commercial to Med-Density Residential on 18.92 acres so that the FLUM is consistent with a development proposed at this location.
ANALYSIS:
Mixed-use areas are intended to provide flexibility in order to encourage innovative, unique, and sustainable developments. Areas designated for Mixed Use include a mixture of non-residential and residential uses and require a well thought-out, master planned approach. Additionally, these developments should be designed around the pedestrian, with walkable connections to shopping and dining as key components.
The proposal is consistent with goals, policies, and objectives in the 2010 and 2018 Comprehensive Plans, including:
• Encourage development that will reduce urban sprawl;
• Encourage land use patterns that reflect a mix of integrated community uses;
• Locate higher density residential uses along roadways designated as minor arterials, principle arterials or limited access thoroughfares.
RECOMMENDATION:
At its October 7, 2019 meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 8-0.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) recommends approval.
