Council approves first amendment to PID development agreement to allow flush garages for Doctor Horton homes
Summary
Dayton council approved a first amendment to the Dayton Public Improvement District No. 5 development agreement to modify a recessed-garage aesthetic standard so Doctor Horton can build flush-front and three-car garage house products; setbacks remain 25 feet.
City staff presented a proposed first amendment to the Dayton Public Improvement District (PID) No. 5 development agreement that would change a recessed-garage aesthetic standard and allow the builder Doctor Horton to offer flush-front garage products, including three-car garages. Staff said the change is an aesthetic variance only; the front setback standard of 25 feet would remain in place.
The staff presentation explained the current standard requires garages to be recessed so facades are less "garage dominated" along a corridor. Doctor Horton asked for the amendment because its proposed floor plans and products do not meet the existing recessed-garage standard; staff said the company does not have floor plans that comply with the current standard and that, if the amendment passed, Doctor Horton planned to begin building a model home immediately.
Council members asked whether moving garages forward would reduce driveway length; staff replied the 25-foot front setback applies regardless, so driveway length would not be reduced by the change and the difference was likely only a few feet of additional garage projection. Staff reiterated the change is aesthetic and would apply across the community within the development agreement.
A councilmember moved to approve Resolution R2025-17, the first amendment to PID No. 5 development agreement. The council voted in favor by voice vote and the resolution passed.
