Zoning Decisions This Month

Rezoning for Harmon Mansfield townhomes at 500 Seton Road

Denied.

Zoning change from PD Plan Development District to PD Plan Development District for single-family attached townhome uses on 11.71 acres at 500 Seton Road (corner of South Holland Road and National Parkway), part of Garden Heights PD (currently zoned for C2 commercial uses). Proposed 123 townhome units at 10.5 units/acre for lease, developed by Crescent Communities, with clubhouse, pool, and a privately-owned public park. Staff and Development Review Committee recommended denial because the plan eliminates the commercial component and is inconsistent with the Mansfield 2040 mixed-use local (50/50) designation. A motion to approve with condition to continue working with staff on commercial component (by Commissioner Lambert) died for lack of a second. Motion to deny carried (Commissioner Godden dissenting per revote).
