A. PD21-0004a Hold a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding a request by Hickory Venture Group for a Planned Development Amendment for Planned Development 139. The 12-acre property is generally located at the southeast corner of Vintage Boulevard and I-35W Vintage Boulevard Ramp, in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas. (PD21-0004a, Vintage Multifamily, Julie Wyatt).
As a homeowner in the Vintage this does not seem like the best location for this venture. It isn't fair to owners who used the future use map to buy a home. However, (if this is a pursuit that is going to happen regardless) I'd like to ask for a NO vote so that there can be a decreased percentage of 3/4 bedroom apartments for the project. Decreased from 46% to 25%. This will also decrease the amount of people concentrated in one area.
As a homeowner in the neighboring housing development, I am opposed to this Development Amendment. I purchased my home in part on the Future Land Use Map & this proposal is a drastic departure in population density & traffic. I urge you to vote 'No' on the current Exhibit 9 PD Development Plan to reevaluate the Unit Type Ratio and Parking. If 89% of the units are 2+ bedrooms, 425 parking spaces are not enough considering the location is not walkable and has no public transportation stops.
I am opposed to this Low-Income Housing project on Vintage Road.
1- Negative impact on property values. This development will be especially economically destructive to the closest and oldest neighborhood, the Vintage.
2. The developer has mispresented this project. Their consultant says it was not low-income housing, but the developer himself says it is 100% low income residents.
3. Increased criminal activity common with apartment and low-income developments.
As an eighteen year resident of The Vintage and the nearest homeowner to this site, I strongly oppose this development. This location is not suited for this type of development. The nearest grocery is four plus miles away, and there is no public transportation or other infrastructure to support the residents of such a property. Furthermore, the traffic generated by this development and the approved charter school will greatly increase the congestion and noise pollution in this area.
As a homeowner of the Vintage neighborhood, I oppose the development of low-income housing. This will bring down my property value and with low income housing statistically comes with increased crime. There is also no public transportation, no grocery stores or anything in walking distance. This will only cause problems for the city of Denton, Denton ISD, the local school, Borman elementary, is already at capacity, and the surrounding community.
As a homeowner at The Vintage, I am opposed to this development. This will lower my property value, an I have the right to protect it. I’m addition, there is no infrastructure to support this type of housing. There is no bus line. grocery store, or shopping. It is not in walking distance of anything. Our neighborhood school (Borman) is already over capacity and could not support the number of students that would be zoned for that campus.
Please vote no on this. It’s just not the right time.
As a homeowner of the Vintage neighborhood, I strongly oppose the development of low-income housing. Have seen first hand the damage that this can bring to an existing community where there is no benefit to the community of the target renters due to no support system in the area, i.e. no public transportation, no grocery stores, no medical. This will do nothing but cause problems for the city of Denton, Denton ISD, as Borman elementary is already at capacity, and a further strain on resources.
I understand the need for affordable housing, but locating a large development like this in a relatively small residential neighborhood is not a good idea. There is no public transportation, no local stores and medical facilities. I am concerned that this will increase crime and have a negative impact on our home valuations. The police officers who live in the neighborhood commented that this type of low income housing will bring more crime to the area. Please do not approve this plan
I am a homeowner that has lived in the Vintage for 11 years. A huge low income property is not low density like the zoning map shows. It will increase traffic considerably, and lower our home values. I believe this area should remain single family housing additions.
I am a homeowner in the Vintage Neighborhood. The future land use map goes ahead and marks this entire neighborhood as low residential with the addition of this complex. I do not see why the city would want decreased home values or decreased median incomes. I would also like an environmental study done on how an influx of people and building would affect the greenbelt behind the Vintage neighborhood
As a homeowner in the Vintage neighborhood, I am opposed to this development. This development has many issues that will spill over into the adjacent areas. The proposed family units are without adequate storage or garages, parking has been reduced due to the "affordable" title (causing cars to park indiscriminately, which will damage and trash undeveloped surrounding areas), and add congestion at the I35W exit ramp. I don't see any benefit to the City for this development at this location.
We as the Vintage HOA board oppose this development. This development will not bring any value to the existing neighborhoods. This build will only increase crime, traffic an lower our property values. This entire project is based on low income housing and we as a neighbor deserve a right to protect our neighborhood and home values. During the meeting with the developer they did said nothing to address our concerns with the low income housing, crime increase or depreciation of our property values
