Towne Homes site plan amendment: developer proposes simplified elevations; staff recommends approval
Summary
Staff briefed commissioners on a site plan amendment for 161 Towne Homes replacing previously approved 2020 elevations with simpler, mostly cement siding and brick designs; staff said the approved site and landscape plans remain unchanged and the units will be sold individually.
City planning staff told the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 14 that the applicant for the 161 Towne Homes subdivision is seeking a site plan amendment to change home elevations approved under a 2020 site plan.
Staff said the zoning and site plan from 2020 remain valid but the property owner delayed construction as construction costs rose; the owner now proposes simplified home elevations with cement siding and brick that are ‘‘a bit simpler’’ than the original submittal but retain architectural details such as soldier courses and transom windows. Staff stated no changes to the approved site or landscape plans are proposed.
Planning staff also confirmed the units will be sold individually and the owner does not intend to operate the development as rental multifamily. Staff recommended approval of the elevation changes and noted the amendment requires city council approval because it affects approved elevations tied to the original site plan.
The briefing contained no formal vote and commissioners asked only clarifying questions; staff indicated the proposed materials and architectural details would be reviewed as part of the council packet and building-permit process.
