Commission approves PD rezoning for El Dorado subdivision on Loop 567 to allow more garage and model options
Summary
The commission approved a PD rezoning for a 33.56-acre El Dorado subdivision on Loop 567 to allow reduced side setbacks and a broader mix of house models; developer Bloomfield said the change will permit more two-and-a-half- and three-car garage floorplans. Staff recommended approval and there were no written public responses.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on May 12 recommended approval of a rezoning from Residential 7000 (R-7) to Planned Development R-7 (PD/R-7) for property at 1001 Loop 567 north of Netty Backus Road (the El Dorado addition).
City staff said the site comprises approximately 33.56 acres and the applicant proposes a residential subdivision. The staff packet described 121 residential lots and three homeowners-association (HOA) lots on the preliminary plat; during the public presentation applicant Mike Collins referred to variations in the proposed unit mix and showed model illustrations (the packet and Collins’ presentation differ in one slide that references “21 residential units” — see clarifying details). Staff mailed three notices to property owners within 200 feet and published notice as required; staff reported zero letters in favor or opposition at the time of the report. Staff recommended approval.
Mike Collins, representing Bloomfield (the applicant), said the PD rezoning would enable smaller side-yard conditions (5-foot setbacks on each side with a 10-foot combined total) that allow additional model and garage options, including two-and-a-half- and three-car garage configurations. Collins said the change would increase the variety of façades and product options and compared the proposed product to the builder’s Abe’s Landing development. Collins distributed a brochure showing floor plans and interior finishes and said the firm expects to offer multiple model variations in the subdivision.
Commissioner Hayes moved to approve the zoning change; Commissioner Watson seconded. The chair recorded the vote as “Aye” and the motion passed (individual tallies not specified). The rezoning will proceed to the City Council for final action and later plat and engineering review.
