- Z-41-19 is an application for rezoning 7.51 acres of private property adjacent to Shelley Lake, near the intersection of North Hills Drive and West Millbrook Road
These properties are currently zoned to limit residential development to 4 - 6 dwelling units per acre (R-4, R-6), which is consistent with the established development density, required setbacks, and height restrictions surrounding the park.
The future land use designation for these properties is Moderate Density Residential. Moderate Density Residential has a range of 6-14 units / acre.
- Developers want to-
- rezone the properties to Residential Mixed Use with a density cap of 15 dwelling units per acre.
- build a mid-rise residential condominium development consisting of three buildings: two at a height of 4-stories and one at a height of 3-stories.
The 4-story buildings will appear as approximately 3 1/2 -stories tall when viewed from North Hills Drive. These buildings will contain 108 of the 112 dwellings. (over 18 units/ acre.)
- Increase the impervious surface of the properties to include paved parking limited to begin 5 feet from the property line running along North Hills Drive and 0 or 6 feet from its West Millbrook Road frontage. Some parking will be placed on the bottom story of the 4-story buildings.
- Offer these units for sale at a minimum price $300,000- $400,000 for the smallest condominium (700-722sf)
- Relocate the 3-phase powerline to the edge of the property along North Hills Drive, removing all of the trees within the powerline easement. It is still undecided as to whether the lines will be buried or overhead.
The relocation of the powerline increases the loss of the established, mature tree canopy.
The current 20 foot wide powerline easement is kept clear and runs through the interior of the properties.
We shared this image of the developer's design proposed (personal photo taken by an attendee on 2/18/2020)] and an overlay of the properties (in red) with the planning commission at the Planning Commission meeting, February 25, 2020.
The photo of the image without the overlay was shared, by the developer, at the 2/18/2020 neighborhood meeting with the developer at Sertoma Arts Center.

FOR visual reference ONLY! This is a retouched image (in process to remove mature trees and shrubs) that shows an example of a RX-4-PL-CU apartment development, Northcity 6 Apartments, located near the intersection of Six Forks Road and Lynn Road. (This RX is located in zoning appropriate for such density development.)
The bottom floor parking is below the average grade of Lynn Road and there is a setback of 60' from the street frontage. We have removed the taller trees to simulate what the view will be like for many years to come as the street edge trees on North Hills Drive and possibly between the subject site and Spring Garden Townhomes would be removed for relocation of the powerline and regrading to make the 50' elevation slope buildable.
