A four-story senior living community planned for the north end of the Fields development is on the Planning & Zoning Commission's agenda for Tuesday, Oct. 27, and city staff is recommending that commissioners approve it.
The open space plan and site plan, filed by North Fields Investment Partners LP of Dallas, cover 255 independent living units and 58 assisted living units on about 9.5 acres at the northeast corner of Ready Way and Tall Meadow Way.
The item is listed on the commission's consent agenda for the 6:30 p.m. meeting at the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center, 6101 Frisco Square Blvd.
What the plans show
The site plan exhibit, prepared by engineering firm Kimley-Horn, splits the independent living side into 116 one-bedroom and 139 two-bedroom units. The assisted living side has 45 one-bedroom and 13 two-bedroom units. Each side is listed at about 153,760 gross square feet, plus a garage podium of roughly 78,800 square feet, and the exhibit gives a height of four stories and just under 52 feet.
A one-story amenity building and a private courtyard also appear on the plan.
The property is zoned Planned Development-280, which requires at least 8% open space across the North Fields area. According to the staff report, this lot provides 8.5%, including interactive features and amenities, and the developer is on track to meet the overall requirement as the rest of the area is built.
Drivers would reach the site from Ready Way and Tall Meadow Way, with cross access to neighboring lots. Staff found the parking adequate and noted there are no protected trees on the property. The report also says the US 380 Overlay District does not apply to the North Fields subdistrict, which is governed by its own planned development rules.
