Background:
The proposed Preliminary Development Plan is for a 40-lot single-family detached residential subdivision with associated infrastructure. Staff is proposing a condition of approval that only 24 lots of the subdivision be allowed to develop with one fully functional access point. A second phase, with the remaining 16 units can develop once a second access point is secured.
The purpose of the Preliminary Development Plan stage is for the reviewing body and the applicant to determine the specific characteristics of the site that will influence its design. ULDC 402.43 (a) Development plan review steps states that the Preliminary Development Plan shall detail regulated natural resources that exist on site, approximate access points, and location of utilities that serve the site. Minimum open space areas and tree protection defined with the Preliminary Development Plan shall be utilized in the Final Development Plan.
The proposed Preliminary Development Plan exceeds the threshold established in Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) Section 402.44 for review by the Development Review Committee. According to Table 402.44.1 Development Thresholds single family residential subdivisions that exceed 25 dwelling units require approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC).
