BACKGROUND

The property is generally located south of Exchange Parkway and east of Bray Central Drive. The property to the north is zoned Planned Development PD No. 108 Single Family Residential SF. To the west (across Bray Central Drive), the properties are zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 Multi-Family MF and Planned Development PD No. 54 Single Family Residential R-7. To the south, the properties are zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 Multi-Family MF-18. To the east (across Watters Road), the properties are zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 Industrial Technology IT.

A Planned Development for PD-108 encompassing seven districts and mixed-uses was originally adopted by City Council in October 2011. A subsequent PD Amendment was approved for one of the districts in January 2014 and created The Village at Twin Creeks, which includes a variety of single-family product types. The applicant is now requesting to amend and add to the existing development regulations to provide greater flexibility for the single-family products.

A summary of the proposed changes are as follows:

 

  1. Change the Side Yard setback for Product Types B and C to 5' and 5' (currently required at 3' and 7').
  2. Add an option for driveways to be "salt finished concrete" (in addition to the currently required "stamped concrete").
  3. Allow AC Units to be placed within the 5' side yard setback and encroach into the 3' drainage easement provided that the AC units are placed on an approved cantilever pad, approved by the Building and Code Department. 
  4. Allow curb inlets to be placed within 5' of a proposed residential driveway (currently required at 10') for two lots.

On October 17, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.
