Council approves rezoning for 256‑unit Saratoga 400 Partners PUD in West Side plan area
Summary
The council approved zoning case ZN8634 to rezone 32.8 acres from RS‑4.5 to RS‑4.5 with a Planned Unit Development overlay to allow a denser single‑family subdivision of 256 dwelling units consistent with the city's West Side development plan.
The City Council approved zoning case ZN8634, a request from Saratoga 400 Partners, LLC to rezone 32.8 acres (part of a larger 256‑acre parcel) from RS‑4.5 (single family) to RS‑4.5 with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay to allow higher density single‑family development.
Michael Dice, Director of Development Services, presented the staff analysis and the Planning Commission recommendation. Staff said the preliminary plat was approved on Nov. 1, 2023, the proposed plan calls for 256 dwelling units on the 32.8‑acre parcel, and deviations include reduced minimum lot area and lot width (e.g., minimum lot area reduced to 4,000 sq. ft. and lot width to 40 feet in places). Staff and the Planning Commission found the request consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and the adopted West Side development plan.
Council members asked about parking and setbacks. Staff confirmed the UDC requires on‑site parking per residential standards (residential parking requirements and setbacks remain in effect) and that public right‑of‑way and street cross‑sections would be consistent with the approved development standards. No public speakers were present in the hearing area to address the item.
The council voted to approve the rezoning as presented; the item will proceed through standard platting and permitting steps.
Ending: Rezoning ZN8634 was approved; subsequent development approvals (final plat, building permits and UDC compliance) will follow the city's standard review and permitting process.
