Planning commission recommends approval of Rayburn Mill preliminary plat for 54 attached homes
Summary
The North Augusta Planning Commission voted unanimously Feb. 19 to recommend approval of the Rayburn Mill major subdivision preliminary plat, a project proposing 54 single‑family attached homes adjacent to Mossy Creek Elementary.
The North Augusta Planning Commission voted unanimously Feb. 19 to recommend that city council approve the Rayburn Mill major subdivision preliminary plat, a proposal for 54 single‑family attached homes near Mossy Creek Elementary.
The commission’s recommendation follows a staff presentation saying the application affects parcels at 401 West 5 Notch Road and is zoned R‑7, small‑lot single‑family residential. Planning staff (Tommy Paradise) told commissioners the property has been under review for several years and that the developer’s plans meet staff requirements; staff said it is ready to sign off pending the commission’s recommendation. Applicant James Dean, representing Cranston, said he had no additional comments and answered commissioners’ questions.
Commissioners moved and seconded a recommendation that the city council approve the preliminary plat with conditions that include certification of road names (Cortisol Run and Bansal Court) and that outstanding comments be addressed to the satisfaction of city staff. With no recorded opposition the commission passed the motion unanimously.
The planning department noted the site abuts Mossy Creek Elementary and that prior rezoning work had removed wetlands and critical reserve areas from development. Staff also said the single‑family attached product is not covered by the city’s apartment moratorium because it is a single‑family attached housing type rather than multifamily.
Clarifying details in the record show a discrepancy in the meeting transcript regarding parcel size: the application text lists the affected area as 0.2934 acres at 401 West 5 Notch Road, while planning staff described the property as a 29‑acre parcel the commission has reviewed for several years. The commission’s motion and staff follow‑up require the applicant to resolve outstanding technical comments before final sign‑off.
Votes at a glance: Planning commission recommendation to city council — approve Rayburn Mill preliminary plat (motion includes road name certification and staff‑satisfactory resolution of outstanding comments). The motion passed unanimously.
