The new deadline is Oct. 21, 2025.

Staff explained that the original zone change (granted in 2024) required the applicant to record a final plat by July 23, 2025. The applicant, which changed consultant/agent from Boffman Company to BHC, requested a short extension to ensure sufficient time to prepare the final plat. Planning staff recommended the three‑month extension and commissioners approved it without further comment.

The extension is administrative in nature and does not change the underlying rezoning that was previously approved.

The motion passed 10–0.

Assistant City Planner Everett Haynes told the commission the preliminary plat combines the rezoned property, an adjacent parcel and a transferred portion of the former church site. Under the land transfer agreement (approved by City Council on Feb. 25, 2025) the applicant agreed to construct shared parking for the senior center, two pickleball courts, a gazebo, and sidewalks/trail connections.

Haynes highlighted several issues staff expects to resolve before final plat approval and site plan review: whether the three proposed parcels will remain separate or be combined into a single lot; discrepancies between recorded easement locations and those shown on the plat; a drainage/detention basin location that differs between the plat and the drainage/utility plans; and the need to plat the detention basin as a reserve with recorded maintenance language.

Haynes also said street access will be clarified during site plan review and that the city engineer recommends access control along most of the Rock Road frontage with a single opening to be approved later. He said an axial diesel (turn) lane and a future center turn lane on Rock Road are anticipated long‑term improvements and that sanitary sewer will need to be extended and petitioned to serve the site. Fire department requirements (for example, fire department connection location and interior hydrants) should be resolved during site plan review; Haynes encouraged addressing some of those items on the plat to avoid additional post‑plat instruments.

The motion to authorize preparation of the final plat, “subject to staff comments and discussion,” was made from the dais and seconded by Commissioner Renberger; the commission approved it by voice vote, 10–0. The applicant’s engineering representative, Jeff Mills of Earl’s Engineering and Inspection, attended the meeting and was thanked by the commission.","The planning commission authorized the applicant to prepare a final plat for the 1219 Rock Addition and advanced site review, while staff noted items to resolve including parcel consolidation, easement locations, drainage basin placement, and utility extensions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6628117,"Derby planning commission recommends rezoning 1219 S.

The commission’s recommendation was based on staff findings that the site is suitable for the applicant’s proposed five‑story senior living development and associated shared amenities.

City staff described the subject property as about 4.33 acres on the west side of Rock Road, immediately north of the senior center site. Staff said a portion of the property is owned by the city and will be transferred to the applicant to permit construction of overflow parking for the senior center, two pickleball courts, a gazebo and shared open‑space amenities. Jeff Mills of Earl’s Engineering attended for the applicant but made no presentation during the hearing.

Scott Knaebel, city planner, told the commission that the B‑3 district allows a building height “up to 65 feet — 4 or 5 stories,” and that staff view the Rock Road corridor as an area where market pressures favor non‑single‑family development. Knaebel said the city’s development standards, including increased setbacks for buildings above 35 feet, are intended to address compatibility concerns.

Commissioners reviewed the standard 10 findings of fact required for a zone change. Staff noted nearby land uses include institutional uses (churches, schools) and the recently approved senior center immediately to the south; the nearest B‑3 zoning is roughly 400 feet north, at the site of a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Staff also said public utilities and emergency services are available and can be extended to serve the property.

Commissioners questioned how many dwelling units the project might contain. Staff and commissioners discussed multiple figures in the record: a planning memo notes a theoretical maximum of 152 dwelling units based on gross square footage, while during discussion staff and a commissioner referenced a separate unit‑count calculation of roughly 52–62 units that may better reflect eventual site plan constraints. Staff told commissioners that the final unit count will be determined during site plan review, when factors such as parking, stormwater infrastructure and amenity space are factored in.

The motion to forward a recommendation of approval, “based on the findings of fact and subject to platting the subject property within one year,” was made by Commissioner Renberger and seconded by Commissioner Heflin. The commission voted 10–0 in favor.

The commission’s recommendation does not itself change zoning; the item will go to the City Council for a final decision. If the council approves the rezoning, the applicant will be required to complete platting and subsequent site plan review before building permits are issued.","On March 20, 2025 the City of Derby Planning Commission voted 10–0 to forward a recommendation to city council to rezone 1219 South Rock Road from R‑1 single‑family to B‑3 general business, clearing the way for a proposed five‑story senior housing project and related shared amenities.","actionData","errors"]
