Troy council adopts Eagles Landing planned residential rezoning for 86.88 acres on Wilson Road

The Troy City Council voted unanimously Monday to adopt Ordinance O22-2025, rezoning 86.88 acres on Wilson Road from A-2 general agriculture (county classification) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) and approving the Eagles Landing subdivision general plan.

The rezoning had been recommended by the Troy Planning Commission and supported by the Law and Ordinance Committee. Mr. Witten, chair of the Law and Ordinance Committee, told council the committee "supports the recommendation of the Troy Planning Commission and the findings of staff" and recommended adoption.

Council members said the rezoning aligns with the city's comprehensive plan and prior annexations that identified the northwestern and western growth areas as locations with capacity for residential expansion. The ordinance covers parcels listed as D08107838, D08107842 and D08107844 and was presented as a means to enable single-family residential development consistent with the plan.

Will Harrelson, attorney for the applicant, had earlier described the parcel as designated on the city's future land use map for single-unit detached residential and said the comprehensive-plan work identified a housing shortfall the city must address. He told the council the plan "encouraged the continued residential development and promoting a variety of housing options."

The motion to adopt the ordinance was moved by Mr. Phillips and seconded by Mr. Twist; the roll call recorded unanimous support and the ordinance was declared adopted.

Council minutes and committee reports indicate the rezoning was vetted in committee and the Planning Commission prior to final reading. No amendments to the ordinance were recorded during Monday’s meeting.

The adoption completes final legislative approval; the developer may next pursue subdivision approvals and permitting under the PRD zoning and the approved general plan.
