The Planning Commission's vote to approve the rezoning of Anderson Square marks a significant shift, opposing staff's recommendation due to community benefits agreements that were not codified.
The proposed redevelopment of the 16-acre Anderson Square seeks to transform commercial properties into a mixed-use development that includes residential housing, aiming for a height increase to 250 feet.
Staff highlighted that while community benefit agreements exist, they cannot legally influence the zoning ordinance, emphasizing a need for a planned unit development (PUD) approval for such changes.
The planning commission's decision reflects a growing trend of re-evaluating zoning laws in favor of denser, mixed-use developments to meet community needs in urban areas.
