Attached is a public hearing notice for the Dec. 9 Planning Commission meeting. The purpose of the hearing is to consider an application by Davidson Cameron 226, LLC, to amend a previously approved Planned Development District (PD 314) to allow a height increase of up to 6.6 feet on certain residential units within the development at the northeast corner of South Palm Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue. The approved planned development allows for the construction of a mixed-use project consisting of 22 live-work units, 80 attached townhomes and 15,000 square feet of retail space on the 11.7-acre parcel. The proposed amendment is to add roof decks to 63 of the 102 previously approved residential units.
