Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved site plan PLZSP23-00013 for a 178-unit build-to-rent duplex community at the northwest corner of Miller Road and Hazen Road, subject to conditions A–V; a traffic impact analysis remains under review and Phase 2 will be a separate submittal.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved site plan PLZSP23-00013 to build a 178-unit, build-to-rent duplex community on about 17 acres at the northwest corner of Miller Road and Hazen Road.
Mandy Woods, senior planner with Development Services, told the commission the applicant — Julie Vermillion with CBL on behalf of Road Nominee LLC — seeks approval for 178 duplex units (56 one‑bedroom, 82 two‑bedroom and 42 three‑bedroom units) with an overall density just over 10 dwelling units per acre and amenities that include a clubhouse, pool and dog park. Woods said on record: “My name is Mandy Woods, and I'm a senior planner with Development Services.”
Woods and the developer noted the proposed Phase 1 occupies the southern portion of the parcel; Phase 2 is planned for the northern portion and will be a separate submittal. The staff report recommends approval subject to conditions A through V. Commissioners asked about half‑street improvements, future cross‑access to the northern phase, and the status of the traffic impact analysis (TIA). Woods said the TIA has been submitted but not yet approved and that any TIA requirements will be reflected in civil permitting.
Matthew Nalik, the project civil engineer with CBL Consultants, addressed drainage concerns along the north side of Hazen Road and said the team is coordinating with the Buckeye Water Conservation and Drainage District to underground an irrigation ditch and pipe so it continues to serve neighboring properties.
After discussion the commission moved to approve PLZSP23-00013 subject to conditions A–V. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote; the chair announced the motion carries.
Key points preserved in the approval include the proposed building types (one‑ and two‑story duplexes), the private rear yards and unit mix, required infrastructure work (developer‑provided water, sewer and half‑street improvements) and the stipulation that Phase 2 must provide required access or provide cross‑access if necessary.
The applicant and staff will reflect any TIA‑driven requirements in civil plans before final permits are issued.
