The properties to the north are zoned Community Facilities and Planned Development No. 108 (PD-108) with a base zoning of Mixed Use (MIX). The properties to the east are zoned PD-108 with a base zoning of MIX. The properties to the south are zoned PD-108 with a base zoning of Office; Planned Development No. 54 with base zoning districts of Industrial Technology, and CF. The properties to the west are zoned PD-108 with a base zoning district of MIX.

The property is currently zoned PD-108 with a base zoning of MIX. The applicant is requesting to amend the development regulations and adopt a Zoning Exhibit, Concept Plan, Building Elevations, Open Space Plan, Commercial Area Civic Spaces Plan, Commercial Area Enhanced Paving Exhibit, and Commercial Area Street "G" Cross Section, to allow for a mixed-use development consisting of office, retail, and single-family homes (both detached and attached).

 

The subject property is comprised of one unplatted tract with a land area of 35.740± acres. The applicant is proposing a mixed-use development comprised of approximately 25.52 acres of residential uses and approximately 10.22 acres of commercial uses. The residential uses depicted on the Concept Plan include 59 single-family detached homes (31-ft x 110-ft typical lot size); 40 single-family attached townhomes (30-ft x 95-ft typical lot size); and 78 single-family attached townhomes (22-ft x 95-ft typical lot size). The commercial part of the development includes approximately 83,200 square feet included in seven buildings. 


The development regulations include the following:

  • Designation of a Single-Family Area, including a base zoning district of Single-Family R-7, for detached single-family homes, with the minimum lot sizes depicted on the face of the Concept Plan.
  • Designation of a Townhome Area, including a base zoning district of Townhomes (TH), for attached single-family homes (townhomes), with the minimum lot sizes for both product types depicted on the face of the Concept Plan.
  • Designation of a Commercial Area with a base zoning district of Commercial Corridor.
  • Reference to attached Building Elevations, as well as the designation of 60-ft or four stories as the maximum building height for non-residential buildings. 
  • Reference to attached Open Space Plan and Commercial Area Civic Spaces Plan.
  • Inclusion of general standards for enhanced paving in the Commercial Area (see Commercial Area Enhanced Paving Exhibit).
  • Inclusion of street cross section standards for Street G, which is the primary street separating the Commercial Area and Single Family Area. 
  • Designation of permitted uses, including the definition of four additional new uses: banquet hall, microbrewery, microdistillery, and winery. 
  • Lot Design Criteria for the Single Family Area, Townhome Area, and Commercial Area.
  • Minor deviations for landscaping adjacent to the Hike & Bike Trail along Bossy Boots Drive.
 
This request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee. The request is in general conformance with the future land use map in the adopted Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the surrounding uses.
