Background:
The Preliminary Development Plan is for a Traditional Neighborhood Development with associated infrastructure and open space. The residential portion of the proposed development at full build-out allows for a maximum of 249 residential units and 49,800 sf of non-residential uses.
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. Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) Section 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 Sec. 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).
