Commission approves lot split for Hill Farm 2 parcel

The Planning and Zoning Commission voted Sept. 11 to approve a lot split creating a 27.131-acre parcel within the Hill Farm 2 Historic Conservation District (HCD). The split, part of the larger Hill Farm 2 development plan, passed on a 6-0 roll call.

Staff told commissioners the site is roughly 76 acres at the northeast corner of Sierra Darby Creek Road and Langton Road, and that the Hill Farm 2 HCD was previously approved by city council on March 24, 2025, following an earlier commission recommendation. The lot-split application would create a 27.131-acre parcel with roughly 400 feet of frontage on Cedar Darby Creek Road (described in the staff report) and was recommended for approval with two conditions.

Staff said the proposed parcel is intended to be part of a future subdivision plat and that the proposal is consistent with the Hill Farm 2 plan and local code. There were no applicants or members of the public who spoke at the hearing on the lot-split request. A commissioner moved to approve case PZ-25-47 with the two staff conditions; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call vote of 6-0. The roll call in the record shows affirmative votes from Vice Chair Papsidero, Moor/Moog, Italiano, Martin, Marsh and Chair Schneck.

Less critical details: the staff report listed the parcel’s approximate frontage and the two standard conditions recommended for lot splits; staff did not identify additional permits beyond standard subdivision platting required before development of the parcel.
