Council considers Flagstone Villas rezoning, Plan Commission recommended approval
Summary
City staff presented Flagstone Villas, a proposed 23-unit residential development that would rezone a C-2 parcel to R-2; Plan and Zoning Commission recommended approval 7–0, and council members discussed sidewalks, parking and HOA maintenance.
City planning staff presented a proposal to rezone a former commercial parcel within the Victoria Crossings area to single-family residential and to approve Flagstone Villas, a 23-unit planned residential development.
"This is for a special use permit for a planned residential development rezoning from C2 community commercial to R2 single family residential... This is being called Flagstone Villas," Lance, planning staff, told the council, describing the project as 4.4 acres and noting the development reduced its unit count from 27 to 23 since a 2022 concept approval.
The plan shows townhome-style buildings with a dedicated internal street (Flagstone Drive), guest parking in a center bulb and a landscape buffer along Cedar Road. Lance said Flagstone Drive will be dedicated with a reduced right-of-way and a sidewalk on one side — a design decision that prompted questions from council members. "As you start to stack those dimensions up... we didn't have the extra 4 feet with all of those," Lance said when explaining why the sidewalk appears only on one side of the street.
The Plan and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposal on May 13 and voted 7–0 to approve staff findings and recommend the rezoning, special use permit, preliminary and final plans, and final plat to the council. Staff said the development will rely on the overall Victoria Crossings stormwater system and that impervious surface would increase within the parcel but drain to the existing pond in the larger development.
Developer Chris Cozzo of Yukon Development was present and discussed homeowners association (HOA) responsibilities and building elevations. "Your HOA is run just like a business. It has to have a corporate resolution every year..." Cozzo told the council, explaining HOA reporting and maintenance obligations.
Council discussion focused on sidewalk connectivity, guest parking and ensuring active management of the HOA. Staff said the HOA will maintain private street plowing and snow removal and that the city requires HOA contact information be kept current. No final council vote was recorded in the meeting; staff requested the item be placed on the June 18 City Council agenda for action or consent.
