Planned Development – 825 W Hoyt Place
Petition Number: PLNPCM2024-01095
Application Type: Planned Development
Location: Approx. 825 W Hoyt Place
Zoning District: SR-3 Special Development Pattern Residential District
Recognized Organization District: Fairpark Community Council
Drake Powell (applicant & property owner) is requesting Planned Development approval to facilitate a new townhome project at approximately 825 W Hoyt Place (see image above). The proposed development consists of 2 buildings, each containing 6 single-family attached units. Each unit will have 2 bedrooms and a 2-car garage.
The applicant is requesting the following modifications to City Code standards through the Planned Development process:
• Buildings without frontage on a public street, and
• A reduced rear yard setback
In the SR-3 Zone, multiple buildings may be located on 1 lot, provided all buildings have frontage on a public street. Hoyt Place is a private street, so this requirement would not be met by the proposal without Planned Development approval. The required rear yard setback is 30 ft., and the applicant is requesting to reduce this requirement to allow a 15 ft. year yard setback.
The proposed development will occupy 2 parcels with a total combined area of .42 acres (~18,848 SR) that are currently vacant. These parcels abut Hoyt Place, a private street that has been recently improved with new utilities, asphalt, curb, and gutters. The proposal would consist of 12 new single-family attached units in 2 buildings on 1 lot (once the existing parcels are combined). The applicant has submitted an application for a preliminary plat for this purpose that is currently under review. Due to the configuration of the site, (roughly 105 ft. wide and 175 ft. deep), development entirely oriented towards Hoyt Place would result in fewer units overall and a large portion of the rear of the lot would remain vacant. To make better use the site, the proposal orients the 2 buildings perpendicular to Hoyt Place, with a shared driveway for access running between the buildings. Each unit will have a rear-loaded 2-car garage that faces and accesses the shared driveway. The development also provides pedestrian pathways along the perimeter of the site that will provide access to the units’ ‘front’ doors, which will be oriented towards the exterior of the site.
