Board approves Troy Holdings rezoning with binding plan limiting uses to previously approved development

Troy Holdings LLC won board approval to reapply a previously approved binding development plan and to rezone a parcel to allow a specific BU2 use limited by a new BDP. Attorney Cole Oliver told the Board the same BDP had been approved in 2023 but was not recorded before the prior owner sold the property; the new owner requested the Board re-approve that plan so work can proceed.

Commissioner Goodson moved to reauthorize the binding development plan and the rezoning request as presented; the motion was seconded and the Board voted unanimously to approve. The BDP ties the BU2 zoning change to a single use previously approved by the Board and restricts other BU2 uses from the site.

Oliver said the proposal restricts potential BU2 activity by limiting development to the BU1A-allowed uses and one solitary BU2 use previously granted. To address neighbor concerns, the applicant agreed to an eight-foot masonry wall (beyond the code minimum) and additional landscape buffering; the site plan also pulls proposed buildings away from the southern property line. Engineers were on hand to answer technical questions.

The commission noted the development had been before the Board in 2023 and that the new action was needed because the earlier approval lapsed before recording. The Board said the recorded BDP will govern the uses on the property once recorded and the developer will still need to comply with site-plan, stormwater and other permitting processes.

Outcome: the reapproval of the BDP and associated rezoning was adopted by a unanimous roll call.
