STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Leonard Kirtman of Global Ventures Inc. has applied for approval of a
general land use plan and a specific use permit to allow multi-family
residential and general retail and professional office uses in a PUD
(Planned Unit Development) District. The single family portion of the
development is permitted by right. The property is located on
Fannett Road at Stivers Drive.
Mr. Kirtman states that the 264 acre tract will be developed with
single family residential, a senior community, apartments, retail and
office uses. The single family residences will include 58 lots that are
75' x 150' and 154 lots that are 80' x 100'. The senior community
will occupy 30 acres and consist of single story apartments, three to
each 3,750 sq. ft. building. The apartments catering to the general
public will occupy approximately 71 acres and consist of 1,200
apartment units built at 17 units per acre. Each two story, 25,000
sq. ft. building will contain 24 apartment units from 800-1,200 sq.
ft. in size. Approximately 24 acres are designated for commercial
uses. This property fronts Fannett Road for a distance of 1,100 feet.
Retail, office and a possible supermarket are planned for this area.
In addition, 20-30 acres of open space will be provided.
Access to the property will be provided by two streets that connect
with Fannett. Each of these streets will have 65' right-of-way
widths.
As projected, the initial phase will consist of the construction of 300
apartment units over a two year time period. Upon completion of
the first year of construction, Mr. Kirtman will begin the construction
of ten single family homes along Hillebrandt Bayou. Upon completion
of the first 300 apartment units, the remaining 900 apartment units
will be constructed over the following two year time period. The
commercial portion will commence construction after the first year of
development. After the fourth year of construction, Mr. Kirtman
states that he will focus on completing the building of the single family
homes and the building of the Senior housing.
Exhibits are attached.
