Council approves PD‑107 amendment for Redden Farms Phase 2; unit count reduced
Summary
Council approved an amendment to PD‑107 that reduces Phase 2 unit count from 171 to 137 lots, adds an 8‑foot masonry fence and open‑space trees, and maintains PD standards; council discussed lot placement adjacent to existing industrial operations and potential noise.
The City Council on Oct. 28 approved a Planned Development amendment (PD‑107) for Redden Farms Phase 2A/2B East. The amendment covers about 49.76 acres and revises a previously approved layout, reducing the number of single‑family lots from 171 to 137 and adding eight open‑space lots.
Staff said the PD regulations remain unchanged and that the amended plan includes an 8‑foot masonry fence and tree plantings in open space, planted at a maximum spacing of 40 feet. Staff mailed 82 notices to nearby property owners and reported no correspondence opposing the amendment; Planning & Zoning recommended approval 6–1.
Council discussion focused on lots that back up to areas currently zoned for light industrial uses. Council members noted existing operations near the site, including an aggregate/concrete batch plant and pallet manufacturing facility, and urged the developer to consider buffers and lot orientation given potential noise from industrial neighbors. The applicant said the masonry screening wall and additional open space were intended to provide separation.
Council voted to approve the PD amendment as presented.
