The City of Farmers Branch has received a request from ECM Development to rezone approximately 3.43 acres tract of land located at 12877 Josey Lane, generally west of the intersection of Valley View Lane and Josey Lane and on the south side of Valley View Lane from Planned Development District No. 8 (PD-8)/Local Retail-1 (LR-1) zoning district to Planned Development District No. 105 (PD-105) zoning district to allow for townhome development. The subject property has a vacant bank building with drive-through lanes and surface parking. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing bank building and build a 42-unit townhome development accessible from Valley View Lane through a common drive. This common drive would separate the existing multi-tenant commercial site to the east from the townhome development. A total of twelve two-story townhome buildings are proposed. Seven, three-unit townhome buildings, four, four-unit townhome buildings and one, five-unit townhome building are proposed.
