Planning commission approves gated RS‑2 PUD for single‑family subdivision near 130th and Harvard
Summary
The commission approved JZ25 PUD152, rezoning a parcel near 130th and Harvard to RS‑2 with a PUD overlay to allow a private, gated single‑street subdivision with larger lots and passive recreation. Applicant said lots would be about 70 by 150 feet and the project expects no clubhouse or pool; the commission recorded a unanimous vote.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved JZ25 PUD152, a request to rezone a parcel north of 130th Street and east of Harvard from its existing AG and LC designations to RS‑2 with a planned unit development overlay.
Senior planner Marcee Hilton summarized the request and noted the applicant is proposing large lots (the applicant’s exhibit showed an average lot area of about 14,520 square feet) and enhanced exterior materials. The proposed PUD calls for a single gated street, a landscape entry, passive recreational amenities (walking trails and a stocked pond/detention feature) and a masonry‑heavy exterior (the exhibit indicated at least 85% masonry on the primary elevations).
Ryan McCarty of Select Design, the applicant’s representative, told the commission the lots are intended to be roughly 70 feet wide by 150 feet deep and are targeted to buyers who prefer larger lots and low‑maintenance yards. “RS‑2 allows for 8,000 [square feet], so these lots are quite large,” McCarty said, and he confirmed the plan does not include a clubhouse or pool.
The subdivision design includes an all‑weather walking trail, a detention pond (with dock) and a 7‑foot screening wall along the arterial; the Fire Marshal reviewed the plan and determined the proposed layout met access requirements for the planned unit size and that a second access would not be required for the proposed number of lots. Commissioners did not receive requests to speak on this item from the public. On motion, the commission approved the PUD‑based rezoning; the vote was recorded as unanimous and the recommendation will move to the City Council for final approval and development review.
