This public hearing is for a proposed Planned Development (PD) District – Final Development Plan (FDP) known as The Pearl at Lake Pointe. The request is for a change of zoning from the Business Office (B-O) District to the Planned Development (PD) District – Final Development Plan (FDP) District. The proposal consists of approximately 6.5 acres located along Creek Bend Drive just south of the Fluor Corporation.
 
The Pearl at Lake Pointe project comprises a mix of multi-family and live/work units with a structured parking garage to serve the development. The proposal is for 370 multi-family units and 5 live/work units. The 370 multi-family units will consist of a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. This project is located in the Lake Pointe Regional Activity Center (RAC), which calls for this area to be office and residential-focused.
 
The 5 live/work units will be located along the street-facing side of the development across from the Milano Event Center and will provide for non-residential uses to be located on the ground floor of these units. This proposal includes approximately 9,600 square feet of flex office co-working space for lease, which is adjacent to a 4,425 square foot meeting space, both on the ground floor street-facing side of the development. The proposal also includes 12,000 square feet of non-residential areas, including the leasing office, fitness and gaming facilities, conference space, and a café/coffee shop on the ground floor. The proposed permitted use list for the live/work units includes a focus on professional office uses.
