Commissioners approve Spring Valley townhome project with condition banning three‑story units on western boundary

The Planning Commission approved multiple applications for a proposed 108‑unit single‑family attached community in Spring Valley, forwarding items 29–34 to the Board of County Commissioners with a condition that Lots 1–14 on the western boundary be limited to no more than two stories.

Jennifer Lasovich, representing Beazer Homes, said the project—on roughly 8.26 acres north of Russell Road—was revised after neighborhood input to shift the primary entrance eastward and reduce three‑story units abutting the existing neighborhood. She said the project provides two‑car garages and driveways for the majority of lots and that the applicant’s internal count shows approximately 443 parking spaces when driveway and garage counts are included, although the county’s parking code does not allow counting all driveway spaces.

Commissioners raised design questions about on‑street parking and whether sidewalks would serve front doors; the applicant explained that front doors face internal paseos with sidewalks in those front‑door walkways while the private stub streets rely primarily on driveways and end‑of‑street guest parking. To address neighborhood concerns, the commission added the condition prohibiting three‑story units on Lots 1–14 along the western edge. With that condition, the commission approved the plan amendment, zone change, waivers, PUD and tentative map and forwarded the items to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.

The application includes a required traffic study; town advisory board recommendations asked for a right‑turn‑only outbound movement on Russell Road and a bus turnout extension, items the county expects to evaluate through the traffic study before final map conditions are set.
