Resident notification for zoning cases
Speaker after speaker said they never received mailed notice of the Cockrell Hill case, and staff confirmed notices go only to owners within 200 feet (plus courtesy notices to 400 feet). Chair Brooks directed staff to explore better tools like dynamic message signs and to verify addresses against tax rolls.
Planned Development 204 for Multifamily and Commercial Subdivision on N. Cockrell Hill Road
A developer wants to replace 45 acres of single-family zoning with 166 townhomes, 344 apartments, and commercial space at the gateway corner of Cockrell Hill and Wintergreen. Neighbors packed the chamber worried about traffic on two-lane Wintergreen, sewer and water capacity, four-story buildings near established homes, and property values. The commission recommended denial, but the City Council gets the final say.
