The property is developed with a retail sales use (Gifts A La Mode Collectibles) and a single- family residence. To the north and south of the site, there are single-family residential neighborhoods (I-SF-2 and SF-2 zoning).

To the west, there is a mobile home park (Honeycomb Park) that was zoned MH last year through case C14-2019-0008. The applicant is requesting MF-3 zoning to redevelop the property with a 135 to 150 unit apartment complex. Approximately 80 percent of the residential units would be designated as affordable, from 30 to 80 percent MFI (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C).

From: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Ray, Jarrett Sullivan Ray Thomasian Jewels Cain; Bailey Harrington; Dan Hennessey; Jill Tarleton Plaza Volente Apartment Project Near HEB 620 Anderson Mill Color Site Plan 2020-03-13.pdf Thank you for the engagement in preliminary discussions surrounding our proposed apartment development near RM 620 & Anderson Mill. We are now aligned that the southernmost proposed driveway on the attached site plan should be restricted to right-in/right-out only. Based on our coordination with the Canyon Creek Homeowner's Association during the zoning process, I would like to formally request that TxDOT assist with implementing the following two items during our future permitting process: 1) Restrict the southernmost proposed driveway on the attached site plan to right-in/right-out only. 2) As part of our project, allow for the expansion of the northern driveway (HEB side street/signal light) from two lanes to a minimum of three lanes to help avoid traffic back-ups and excessive queuing at peak hours. We look forward to continuing our coordination efforts with TxDOT after receiving zoning approval which is tentatively scheduled to occur on June 4th. Regards, Jarrett J.

This application has been submitted regarding the rezoning of more than 9 acres of land that is currently natural habitat. Originally, it was our assumption that the development was only concerning the original 25 acre plot, now, we discover that the developer has added an additional 9.4 acres. This massive project was disturbing to us as homeowners and as neighbors in already crowded HWY 620 corridor, but with the additional units, it has become even more disconcerting. Our property, 11404 Antler Lane backs up to the additional acraeage. Our concerns center around the additional road traffic that these units bring to our area, but also the possibility of foot traffic through our property. We have many beautiful trees and foliage …

From: To: Subject: Date: Lorraine Boyden Sirwaitis, Sherri Case Number: C14-2020-0027.SH Friday, May 1, 2020 5:32:43 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Sherri Sirwaitis, On the property at 6306 McNeil Drive, you are proposing a 138 unit, mixed-income housing. This is the land that is between Wag-a-bag on McNeil and the trailer park. You are attempting to have the property re-zoned from commercial to multi-family. My concern is that the location of this property is between two lights that are less than 0.3 miles apart. One at Corpus Christi Drive and McNeil Drive and the other is at Oak Knoll Drive and McNeil Drive at the entrance to an industrial park. In the mornings, the left turning lane into Oak Knoll Drive (into the industrial park) is backed up all the way to Corpus Christi Drive. This causes many accidents because it leaves the right lane open and the left lane closed. The multi-family dwelling zoning will allow for a potential 138 units (4.56 acres and 36 units per acres) to be built across from the turning lane. The additional traffic exiting the development would make an already bad situation more dangerous. In the evening, going east towards Parmer Lane on McNeil Drive between Oak Knoll Drive (industrial park) and Corpus Christi Drive, there is a middle barrier with one small opening in front of 6400 McNeil. For the residents of the multifamily dwelling to turn into their property, they would either need to U-turn there (which is in front of Magnolia Mound Trail) , which would back up the left lane of eastbound McNeil Drive, or U-turn at the light at Corpus Christi Drive. In turn, this would once again create more accidents. In addition, when driving to work by turning from Parmer Lane toward 183 congestion is atrocious by 7:05 AM every weekday morning. This area is already over populated. DO NOT RE-ZONE TO MULTI-FAMILY.

Question and Answer Report Zoning and Platting Meeting May 5, 2020 3. Rezoning: C14-2020-0012 - Plaza Volente Residential; District 6 Question: Commissioner Aguirre I noted in the citizen comments, some are asking for information on the ZAP meeting so they can share their concerns. How were they notified and provided information of the meeting and of the rule changes to sign up to speak during this meeting specific to this case? In regards to this case, there is an indication that this was reviewed by the fire department. Please provide a copy of the review. Because this is a flag lot, I am concerned about there being only one point of ingress/egress to the proposed apartment units. Also, was there an Environmental Resource Inventory done? If so, please provide it. Response: Staff / Agent Staff: I responded to each person who sent me comments on the zoning cases on this agenda with the following information: Hi Mr./Ms. __, I have asked the Commission Liaison to add your comments to the backup material for this case.
