Summary:
This project includes the following applications: 1.) the Powerwood 3-6 Master Plan Amendment, 2.) a change of zone district from A/AO (Agricultural with Airport Overlay) to PUD/AO (Planned Unit Development with Airport Overlay for multi-family residential use, 12 to 18 dwelling units per acre and maximum building height of 45 feet), and 3.) the Cumbre Vista PUD Development Plan (the zone change and development plan are quasi-judicial applications). The property is located southeast of the Tutt Boulevard and Sorpresa Lane intersection and consists of 12.99 acres.
The applications would allow for the development of the Cumbre Vista Apartment project. The project proposes 204 apartments units, ten buildings, a clubhouse and a private recreational area.
Note: This property was reviewed and approved for annexation, a master plan and zoning to A (Agricultural) in 2006.

The plat, agreement, and original approval ordinance were recently recorded, therefore this property is now located within the City.
Previous Council Action:
The City Council originally approved the annexation in September of 2006. The City Council re-affirmed that approval on January 13, 2014. No other City Council action has occurred regarding these pending applications.
