Rezoning 951 Abrams Road from retail to apartment planned development
View this case on Richardson Zoning Watch (map, hearing notices, CPC status) →
What this is
A property owner is requesting a zoning change for a 3.09-acre site at 951 Abrams Road — at the corner of Abrams Road, Buckingham Road, and Park Bend Drive — from R-Retail to a Planned Development with an A-950-M Apartment base district, which would allow multi-family residential housing to be built there. The council will hold a public hearing and consider adopting the ordinance.
Why it matters
Approving this rezoning would allow apartments to be built on a retail-zoned site, changing the character and use of that corner near Buckingham Road.
