Commission approves amendment to Country Club Court concept plan, reducing 44 townhomes to nine single-family lots
Summary
A concept-plan amendment for 802 Country Club Court was approved to replace a 44-unit townhome plan with nine single-family lots; the project requires road widening and a five-foot sidewalk on the development side.
Kelly McGrew of Planning and Development Services presented a concept-plan amendment for 802 Country Club Court that would change a previously approved 44-townhome development to nine single-family lots. The site is 3.17 acres (2.89 acres and 0.28 acres) at the corner of East Unicoi and Country Club Court.
McGrew said the site was previously rezoned in 2007 and amended in March 2023 to allow greater unit counts; the current request follows a change in ownership and proposes nine lots that meet the R-4 district’s minimum lot size (7,000 square feet) and minimum width (50 feet). McGrew told the commission the amendment aligns with the current zoning and the draft 2045 future land use map; she also said a neighborhood meeting on Jan. 29 drew no attendees and that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval on Feb. 11.
Commissioners asked staff about sidewalks and road widening; staff said Country Club Court will be widened by 10 feet and the developer will provide a five-foot sidewalk on the development side so the work will not impinge on Lions Park. After public hearing, the commission approved the concept-plan amendment.
Why it matters: The amendment reduces residential density compared with the previously approved concept plan and requires public-road widening and a sidewalk; those infrastructure changes may affect construction sequencing and public-right-of-way work.
The motion to approve passed with recorded affirmative votes; staff will proceed with required engineering, right-of-way dedication and permitting steps.
