What this is
This is a continuation of a public hearing on a request to change the planned development rules for a 13.03-acre site located between Waterview Parkway and President George Bush Highway, east of Frankford Road. The applicant wants to replace a portion of the previously approved general apartments on the east side of the property with student-purpose-built apartments, along with other amendments to development standards.
Why it matters
The change could bring student-focused housing to this site instead of conventional apartments, affecting the character of that corridor and nearby neighborhoods.
