BACKGROUND

The property is generally located north of Ridgeview Drive and west of Alma Road. The property to the north and east is zoned Planned Development No. 142 with a base zoning of Mixed Use. The properties to the south (across Ridgeview Drive) are zoned Planned Development No. 98 (PD-98) with a base zoning of Single-Family Residential (R-7), PD-98 with a base zoning of Single-Family Residential (R-5), and Planned Development No. 67 with a base zoning of Townhome. The property to the west is zoned Planned Development No. 135 with a base zoning of Corridor Commercial.

In January 2020, City Council adopted a Planned Development for a mixed-use development called The Avenue, which included single-family residential homes along a portion of Ridgeview Drive. In March 2021, City Council approved an amendment to this zoning which reoriented some of the lots to face the open space to the north. The subject Preliminary Plat is the next step in the development process.

 

The subject Preliminary Plat shows 12.5323± acres of land subdivided into 94 residential lots, and 16 Open Space/HOA Lots. The primary point of access is on Ridgeview Drive, and there are two additional access points to private streets to the north.

The Preliminary Plat has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee, is generally consistent with the Concept Plan, and meets the requirements of the Allen Land Development Code.
