Approve ZOA# 23-226 First Reading to rezone five (5) parcels (L-12-27-300-016, 18, 19, 20 and L-12-27-400-025), west of Warner Road, south of Harwood Farms, north of Green Hills Drive, from AG, Agriculture to R-1A, Single Family Rural Non-Farm Residential |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the five (5) properties located west of Warner Road and south of Harwood Farms from AG, Agriculture to R-1A, Single-Family Suburban Residential district. The site contains approximately 26 acres and is surrounded by the Harwood Farms and Warner Creek single-family residential developments to the north and east. Both of these developments are zoned R-1B. Properties to the south and east also contain single-family homes and are zoned AG, Agriculture. The site is surrounded by existing residential.
If rezoned, these parcels are proposed to be divided via land divisions meeting the R-1A zoning district standards. In previous conversations with the applicant, they had shown a preliminary subdivision which shows the establishment of 20 lots to be served with a private road.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the site from AG, Agricultural to R-1A, Single-Family Single Family Rural Non-Farm Residential district. The rezoning to R1-A would permit an appropriate transition from AG to the south and west to R1-B to the north and east and permit for a development similar to the nearby Tamarack, Hunters Ridge and Hunters Pond developments. The rezoning would not create a negative precedent, as this property is uniquely positioned between larger lot AG zoned property and denser R-1B property and would not lead to additional sprawl. The location and intended development would result in similar conditions as described in the Master Plan. The rezoning to R1-A would permit an appropriate transition from AG to the south and west to R1-B to the north and east.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 1, 2022. After considering the planners report and public testimony, the Planning Commission found that the rezoning standards have been met and approved the Resolutions of Approval on December 15, 2022 |
