LUAC members completed the additional work and determined the original multifamily recommendations were appropriate.
A list of LUAC members' final recommendations include:
- Language clarification throughout the plan to ensure the intent of recommendations is not misinterpreted.
- Maintain the proportion of single-family to multifamily (88 percent to 12 percent, respectively), clarifying the ratio is the community’s vision today and in the foreseeable future.
- Maintain three multifamily units per developable acre for Neighborhood and Regional Activity Centers and clarify this general guidance is intended to ensure dispersal throughout the city and to avoid congestion.
- Maintain the preference for multifamily to be located in vertically mixed-use settings – clarifying the importance of this preference in activating pedestrian areas in mixed-use centers.
- Maintain the preference for condo ownership over apartment rental, emphasizing the preservation of single-family neighborhoods and the Comprehensive Plan recognition that a high-percentage of owner-occupied homes supports great neighborhoods.
- Minor modifications to clarify the intent of the plan is to provide guidance versus regulations.
Feedback on the plan can be provided at the June 26 public hearing at 6 p.m., or online at www.sugarlandtx.gov/onlinetown
