Commission approves PUD amendment and rezoning to add 15.5 acres for Bellevue residential project
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended approval of a PUD amendment and companion rezoning that adds about 15.5 acres to a planned unit development, reduces the total unit count slightly and requires amenities to be completed at an updated certificate-of-occupancy threshold.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a future land-use amendment and companion rezoning (25SO7 and 250605ZP) to add about 15.52 acres to an existing planned unit development (PUD) near Bellevue and to convert the project mix to detached single-family homes.
Growth Services staff summarized the request: the added acreage is currently designated Public and the applicant sought a small-scale land-use amendment to Medium Residential and an amendment to the previously approved PUD to add the acreage. The overall PUD would include roughly 119.75 acres and was revised from the previously approved mix (including townhomes) to 442 detached single-family units (a net reduction in the original total), served by Central water and sewer through the City of Belleview.
Applicant David Tillman of Tillman Associates said the change reduces density (from 4.33 units per acre to 3.69) and slightly increases AM/PM peak trips; however, the project supplied a traffic methodology that county staff accepted and that showed the change would not materially worsen peak operations in the corridor. The applicant also provided a landscape, amenity and buffering plan and proposed building elevations.
Planning staff recommended approval with conditions and the applicant accepted the conditions with one requested amendment to the timing of amenities. The applicant asked that the onsite amenity package be completed later in the buildout (the applicant asked for a Certificate of Occupancy trigger later than the condition as written). Staff agreed to an amended threshold; the commission’s motion approved the project with the staff conditions and the agreed modification to the timing for completing amenities. The commission’s vote was unanimous.
The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners; the developer must deliver traffic, engineering and final landscaping plans during the county’s Development Review process and before building permits are issued.
