Planning staff backs rezoning and revised OSRD development plan for Rosebrook South
Summary
Staff recommended approval of a rezoning that would reclassify 0.41 acres in Rosebrook South from OSRD to R-2 and presented a revised OSRD development plan to replace the existing plan; the number of lots remains unchanged and additional preliminary-plan details will follow.
Planning staff presented two linked items for Rosebrook South: an ordinance to rezone approximately 0.41 acres from OSRD (Open Space Residential Development) to R-2, and a revised OSRD development plan that would replace the subdivision's existing binding plan.
Staff said part of the area had previously been treated as wetland but field work showed it is not a wetland. Because it is not wetland, the developer seeks to incorporate that land into adjacent buildable lots that front the road. Staff said the rezoning and revised plan reflect finalized right-of-way dedications and several minor tweaks to roads and open-space boundaries; staff emphasized the total number of lots will remain the same and that the project continues to meet applicable requirements.

Staff also noted a small cemetery was not shown on the original OSRD plan; staff said the cemetery is behind lots 146, 147 and 170, that it was identified in field work, and that access and a trail will be addressed during the preliminary-plan stage. Staff said the cemetery "will be maintained" and that more detail will be provided at the preliminary plan stage. A community meeting was held the previous night and staff reported only positive comments and no negatives; the rezoning will advance to the city commission for a public hearing on Feb. 10 with second reading scheduled for Feb. 24. No formal vote is recorded in the provided excerpt; staff recommended approval and forwarded the matter to the city commission.
