The request will amend the land use for approximately 60 acres of land within the Founder’s Crossing PUD. The purpose of the amendment is to shift the location of the CG (Commercial General) and the ROI (Residential, Office, Institutional) land that is located on the east side of McCarty Road to the west side of McCarty Road to provide for a proposed amendment to the Founders Crossing PUD (P25-113). This application will amend the land use for approximately 30 acres of land located on the west side of McCarty Road from RL (Low Density Residential) land use to 18 acres of CG (Commercial General) land use and amend the land use for 30 acres of land located on the east side of McCarty Road from 12 acres of ROI (Residential, Office, Institutional) land use and 18 acres of CG (Commercial General) land use and 12 acres of ROI (Residential, Office, Institutional) land use to 30 acres of RL (Low Density Residential) land use.
