Radcliff staff presents rezoning request for parcel in Cali Crossing; planning commission recommended approval
Summary
City planning staff described a request to rezone a roughly 59.6-acre portion of the Cali Crossing subdivision from R3 to R4, noting the change reduces minimum lot width from 75 to 70 feet; the Radcliff Planning Commission recommended approval and one commissioner recused.
Radcliff planning staff presented a requested zone map amendment for a portion of the Cali Crossing subdivision on South Wilson Road during the City Council work session on Jan. 13, 2025, describing a proposed change from an R3 (medium-density single-family/duplex) classification to R4 (higher-density single-family/duplex).
The property described in the staff report was identified as roughly 59.59 acres within a larger 247.44-acre parcel. Staff said the current land-use designation is farm and that surrounding properties are single-family residential or vacant. Planning staff said the Radcliff Planning Commission recommended approval of the R3-to-R4 map amendment; one planning commissioner recused because she lives in the Cali Crossing subdivision.
Planning staff noted the practical difference between the zones involves lot-width minimums: R3 requires 75-foot-wide lots while R4 allows lots as narrow as 70 feet, which can yield additional lots as developers build infrastructure. No preliminary plat had been submitted at the time of the work session, staff said.
Council members asked procedural questions about public testimony and plat submission. Staff said public hearings had been held and that, in their recollection, there was no sustained opposition; the first public hearing in December generated some questions but not formal opposition. The applicant named in the staff report was Larry Phillips of Hardin County Developers, according to staff remarks.
The item was discussed for information; no formal council vote on the zone map amendment was recorded at the Jan. 13 work session. Council members were told maps and the staff report are available for review and to contact staff (Ashley or the presenter) with questions ahead of any formal meeting where action might be scheduled.
Looking ahead, staff said the developer would need to file a preliminary plat for any subdivision work; that preliminary plat had not been received by staff as of Jan. 13.
