Planning Commission recommends rezoning for Paddock Senior '0 Weller Life; plan calls for 78 age-restricted townhomes
Summary
Commissioners recommended approval of a land-use amendment and a PUD rezone to allow an age-restricted townhome development (about 78 units) behind commercial properties on Pleasant Grove Road; staff recommended the lower RM-8 density and the applicant agreed several site and off-site improvements.
The Planning Commission on Feb. 20 gave positive recommendations for both a land-use amendment and the preliminary master development plan for a proposed senior living townhome project called Paddocks Senior / Weller Life at Mount Juliet, located at 535 Pleasant Grove Road.
Planning staff described the site as about 34 acres and told commissioners the developer requested RM-16 zoning but staff recommended RM-8 given the proposed density (about 2.1 units per acre). The project proposes roughly 78 age-restricted townhome units, a 7,500-square-foot amenity center, a pet park, walkways and other recreational features. Staff reported pedestrian connections to Pleasant Grove Road and said the plan sets aside about 20.1 percent of acreage as open space/conservation.
Public-works staff recommended sidewalk connectivity to Pleasant Grove Road, on-street parallel parking regulations in the development and several off-site pedestrian improvements, including an enhanced crosswalk and a pedestrian refuge in the median across Pleasant Grove Road. The developer and staff discussed a public pump station and utility routing. Planning staff also requested deed restrictions to record the age-restricted status in perpetuity.
Commissioners moved and seconded motions for positive recommendations on the land-use amendment and the PUD. The motions carried. The items will go to the Board of Commissioners for final action.
The developers said they would work with staff on final engineering, pedestrian access improvements, pump-station design and the deed recording requested by staff.
