Summary:
This project includes concurrent quasi-judicial applications for a minor amendment to the Northgate Master Plan, zone change and a concept plan for a 17.05-acre site located at the northeast corner of Voyager Parkway and New Life Drive.
The minor master plan amendment proposes to change the land use from an office and industrial designation to community commercial and multi-family residential. Rezoning will change the 17.05 acres from PIP-1 (Planned Industrial Park) to PUD (Planned Unit Development), allowing a mix of commercial and multi-family uses (multi-family residential at a maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre) with a 45-foot maximum building height for all structures.
The PUD concept plan illustrates the development of 3.7 acres of mixed commercial uses along Voyager Parkway and a 13.35-acre apartment project on the eastern portion of the site. The concept plan illustrates the multi-family development including up to 344 apartment units of varying size within 15 individual buildings, along with internal private parks and open space areas.
