Planning commission recommends approval of 293‑lot subdivision CUP on Coweta/Dotson corridor

The Planning Commission voted June 18 to recommend approval of a community‑unit plan (CUP) rezoning (Z25‑020) for a proposed single‑family subdivision of 293 lots on approximately 130.2 acres near Coweta/Dotson Road. The applicant presented a plan with minimum lot sizes of about 9,000 square feet, a significant open‑space program (about 29.5 acres), a lake, trails, pavilion, pool and pickleball courts, and a network of pocket parks.

Staff recommended approval, noting the project’s compliance with the Suburban 1 land‑use designation and its proposed density (about 2.25 units per acre), less than the maximum allowed in the designation. Community meetings were held and staff received no organized opposition recorded in the public comment roster for this item. The commission voted to approve staff’s findings of fact and then to recommend approval of the CUP with standard conditions and the applicant’s proffered open‑space amenities.

Why it matters: The project will add a substantial number of single‑family homes and open‑space acreage in a corridor where the city is actively managing growth; the commission’s recommendation advances the project to mayor and council for the next review step.
