Background and History:

The request for a Development Agreement accompanies the Direct to Ordinance Zoning Map Amendment (PZ-21-00109-04) filed by ViewPoint Engineering on behalf of Red Oak Development Group, to rezone approximately 13.82 acres located at 2951 S Masonic Lane from the Rural Residential (RR) zone within the Resource Protection Overlay Zone (RPO) and Suburban Commercial (SC) zone within the RPO to the Medium Density Residential (MR) zone within the RPO.
 
The subject property is approximately a 13.82-acre vacant parcel. S Masonic Lane bisects the site in the form of an access easement providing connection from the Pinnacle Pines subdivision to E Zuni Drive. The applicant proposes to develop the site as an 83-unit multiple-family development with associated parking, landscaping, and amenities.  The development proposes a financial contribution to the City’s Affordable Housing Fund totaling $1,802,413.83. This contribution is in lieu of constructing 10 Category 1 affordable units at 12% of the total unit count in order to utilize the affordable housing incentives for a reduction to resource protection.
