The Petitioner is requesting the rezoning of 0 William Street from the RSF-6 (Residential Single Family–6) zoning district to the TC-1 (Traditional Commercial-1) zoning district to use the undeveloped land to develop three, two story townhouses.

Grayson Stadium is located about 300 feet west of the subject property. Historically, the development pattern for the area was a mix of residential and commercial uses south of E. Victory Drive. Previous studies conducted by MPC and CORE-MPO have suggested that the area surrounding the subject property is more suited to establish a mix of traditional residential and neighborhood commercial uses in a walkable environment. The studies further found that the area requires a mix of housing types including missing middle housing (e.g., townhomes, stacked flats, multifamily, etc.) to increase the housing supply and serve a diverse range of people and to encourage the development of higher-density housing adjacent to traditional commercial uses.

On July 24, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request to rezone 0 William Street from the RSF-6 (Residential Single Family–6) zoning designation to the TC-1 (Traditional Commercial-1) zoning designation under the following conditions:

1. The development of the site shall be consistent with the conceptual plan submitted and reviewed in association with this Petition for a zoning map amendment. Future redevelopment of the site for any other TC-1 use shall require MPC review and approval of a General Development Plan.
2. A ‘Type A’ Buffer shall be installed along every property line where the townhome development adjoins a single-family residential parcel.
