Committee approves land-use change and PUD rezoning for 46.54-acre Normandy Boulevard site

The Land Use and Zoning Committee approved a small-scale land-use amendment and a companion planned-unit-development rezoning for a 46.54-acre property on the north side of Normandy Boulevard.

The committee voted to adopt the amendment to change the property’s future land use from agriculture in the rural development area to low-density residential (LDR) in the suburban development area and then approved the PUD rezoning as amended. The amendment and the rezoning were approved unanimously (vote recorded as 7 yeas, 0 nays on the rezoning as amended; the land-use amendment recorded as 6 yeas, 0 nays earlier in committee minutes). The motion to amend the PUD added a revised written description dated 06/02/2025 and a revised site plan dated 05/26/2025.

Planning staff said the application would allow a maximum of 325 residential units, and the revised site plan shows 239 single-family homes on a mix of 40- and 50-foot lots. Staff told the committee the proposal is consistent with the 2045 comprehensive plan and keeps the project at or below the comp plan’s maximum gross density of seven units per acre for the suburban development area. Planning staff also said a portion of the property in the floodway was removed from the application and will not be affected by the amendment.

Committee members and staff described the surrounding pattern of development as transitioning from agricultural to residential and medium-density uses along Normandy Boulevard. Staff reported Normandy Boulevard at this section is classified as a principal arterial and is operating at about 57 percent of capacity. Nearby developments the staff cited include Saddle Bridal Landing Apartments, an expansion approved in 2023, the Monroe Estates PUD (townhomes), Bellbrook subdivision (50- and 60-foot lots), and Bridal Creek PUD, which includes commercial uses along Normandy Boulevard transitioning to townhomes and single-family lots.

A public speaker card for questions only was filed by Paul Harden; he remained in the room and participated in questions but no opposition speakers were recorded. The Planning Commission heard the application on May 22 and voted unanimously to recommend approval.

The action is procedural: approval of the land-use amendment and approval of the PUD rezoning as amended. No development permits or construction approvals were issued at the meeting; those require later submittals and separate administrative review.

The committee recorded the amendment and the final vote as follows: amendment carried by voice vote; final vote on Ordinance 2025-0272 (PUD rezoning, as amended) recorded as 7 yeas, 0 nays. The land-use ordinance 2025-0271 was recorded as approved earlier in the meeting (6 yeas, 0 nays).
