body

Submitted By: Daniel Robinson, Planner III

 

Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of a Smart & Connected City.

 

Executive Summary (General Business): The GHO Homes at Southern Grove MPUD is within the Southern Grove DRI in the area west of SW Village Parkway, and South of Becker Road. This application is to change the use of a platted 0.23- acre lot from an emergency ingress/egress to a single-family lot on the conceptual plan, thus increasing the permitted number of lots from 300 to 301. This lot is not needed for emergency access anymore because a second permanent access has been added to the development.

 

Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.

 

Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council adopt the ordinance as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board.

 

Alternate Recommendations:

1.                     Move that the Council amend the recommendation and adopt the ordinance.

2.                     Move that the Council deny the ordinance and provide direction.

 

Background: The Planning and Zoning board recommended approval of the MPUD amendment at their May 6, 2025 meeting.   

 

Issues/Analysis: The proposed MPUD is attached as Exhibit “A”.  The proposed changes are included in the MPUD document and are shown as strike through and underlined. An application to update the MPUD and concept plan to change the labeled emergency ingress/egress location to a buildable single-family lot. This will bring the total number of permitted lots of the MPUD from 300 to 301.  The Belterra Phase 1 Plat 2 was originally platted with a temporary emergency access because the project only provided a single entrance. As the Belterra Phase 2 Plat has been approved with a full secondary entrance the emergency access is no longer required by code.
