Commission postpones rezoning and R4K townhome proposal after public objections

Jan 13, 2025

The commission continued discussion on a proposed rezoning and R4K (townhome) overlay near Mid Valley Road after residents raised concerns about density, traffic, lights, water and compatibility with unincorporated county character. Staff and the developer will revise the proposal and planning commission will review again in February.

The full story

County staff presented a proposed zoning change for roughly 19.22 acres near Mid Valley Road that would create areas zoned R4K (4,000-square-foot lots and townhouse clusters) and R1-1/2 (half-acre) to accommodate a developerproposal. Planning staff noted the R4K ordinance includes a 5-acre minimum and a 1,000-foot separation requirement designed to limit clustering of townhome developments. The applicant asked to continue action so staff could consider modest ordinance adjustments intended to allow higher density nearer the highway and to rework cluster layouts.
