Commissioners approve major PUD amendment at Bideco Creek to replace planned commercial acreage with up to 35 single-family lots
Summary
The commission approved an amendment converting an 8.9-acre commercial parcel in the Bideco Creek PUD into a 7.16-acre single-family residential parcel with a cap of 35 lots, increasing green space and moving development away from the creek.
The Planning Commission approved a major amendment to the Bideco Creek planned unit development to remove previously approved commercial and office uses from an 8.9-acre parcel and replace them with single-family residential development capped at 35 homes.
Paul Marone, representing the developer, told commissioners the original 1997 PUD had reserved 5.9 acres for garden offices and 3 acres for commercial uses. The amendment reduces the development footprint to 7.16 acres, moves the building footprint away from Bideco Creek, and increases the subdivision’s total green space from 546 to 554 acres. Marone said a majority of the neighborhood’s 379 responding residents favored residential reuse rather than commercial development.
Resident Rachel Catalanado, speaking for neighbors, said the request aligns with the 2040 plan and noted support from many Bideco Creek homeowners; she did note drainage concerns that would be addressed during the engineering and permit phases.
Commissioners said the residential proposal is likely to generate less traffic than a full commercial build-out and would be accessed from inside the gated community. The amendment passed on a motion by Commissioner Seager with a second from Commissioner Arcemont.
