On Tuesday, Jan. 14, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of three proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments for the Uplands development (formerly Rose Hill and Pillar of Fire). The three proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments will now be reviewed and considered by City Council on Monday, Feb. 10, during its public hearing at which the public will have another opportunity to provide comments.

The Comprehensive Plan Amendments do not entitle the property for development. The applicant will still need to seek approval of a Preliminary Development Plan, Rezoning, and Annexation, which require review and consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.

The proposed development is located in the vicinity of West 84th Avenue and Federal Boulevard and includes five parcels:

Parcel A – Traditional mixed-use neighborhood development – No change proposed
Parcel B – Currently R-3.5 – Proposed R-5
Parcel C – Mixed use and R-18 – No change proposed
Parcel D – Currently office – Proposed R-8 and office
Parcel E – Currently office – Proposed private parks/Open space

These designations indicate the size of a residential project. R-3.5 typically develops as single family houses in 1-2 stories on 7,000 square foot lots, R-5 can develop as single family homes, duplexes or townhomes in 2-3 stories with no lot size restrictions, and R-8 can develop as townhomes or duplexes in 2-3 stories with no lot size restrictions. No commercial uses are allowed in any of these designations.
