Commission hears request to reduce side setbacks from 15 to 10 feet for Knoll Creek phase; item to be recommended to city council
Summary
Lennar Holmes of Tennessee requested a specific-plan amendment to reduce side setbacks from 15 feet to 10 feet to match adjacent RS-12 zoning and allow three-car garages. The commission was presented the change and staff recommended forwarding the amendment to city council; first and second readings were scheduled for June.
The commission reviewed a request by Lennar Holmes of Tennessee to amend a specific plan to reduce side setbacks from 15 feet to 10 feet on about 3.71 acres in the Knoll Creek area so setbacks match the RS-12 zoning used elsewhere in the development.
Abigail Overstreet, with Wilson and Associates representing Lennar Holmes, said the change would permit the intended three-car garages on lots in the amendment area and align setbacks with the rest of the subdivision. Overstreet said the 15-foot setbacks in the current SP allow only two-car garages and that the 10-foot setback is consistent with adjacent phases.
Staff characterized the item as a recommendation to city council; the expected city council schedule mentioned in the packet listed a public hearing/first reading on June 3 and a second reading on June 17. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about why the discrepancy existed previously; Overstreet said it was an oversight in the SP drafting. The commission did not take a final action at the meeting but advanced the item as a recommendation to city council per the packet schedule.
