Body
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Daniel Box with Winstead PC, is requesting to rezone approximately 2.12 acres of land located at 14500 Landmark Boulevard, described as Lot 4, Block 1, Wellington Square Addition, from Light Industrial (LI) zoning district to Planned Development District No. 109 (PD-109) zoning district for the construction of a multi-family development. This request includes a proposed conceptual site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations.
The subject property is situated on the eastern periphery of the Farmers Branch city limits, and is accessed through Landmark Boulevard, by way of Inwood Road or Quorum Drive. The site is composed of two distinct parcels. This staff report and rezoning request will largely focus on the western parcel, which is 2.12 acres addressed as 14500 Landmark Boulevard within the incorporated boundaries of Farmers Branch. The eastern parcel, 4.69 acres addressed as 14651 Dallas Parkway, is located outside Farmers Branch city limits and within the Town of Addison.
The two parcels have historically functioned together, with the eastern parcel hosting a 372,000 square foot office building, and the western parcel hosting a five-level parking structure that supports the office building. The office building, known as the Princeton, went into foreclosure in 2023 and was purchased by the developer in order to convert the office building into residential units. The current plans are to demolish the existing office tower and build a new multi-family residential building on the eastern parcel, while retaining the existing parking garage on the western parcel, and adding three stories of multi-family residential on top of the garage.
