Background
The applicant is requesting multifamily zoning to allow for the development and construction of a senior living multifamily project. In 2017, the City annexed land across several areas of the city. When annexation occurred, the land was automatically zoned OR, which is the most restrictive zone for development. Rezoning the property out of OR is necessary to achieve any development proposal.
