Council approves annexation and minor zoning change to allow 15 townhomes on Page Road
Loading...
Summary
Council unanimously approved annexation and a small amendment to the planned development that will permit up to 15 townhomes at 3306 Page Road, with developer commitments including tree coverage, a multiuse path, and modest monetary contributions to schools and affordable housing funds.
The council approved an annexation and initial rezoning for 3306 Page Road, a 1.82-acre parcel, following staff presentation and a short applicant presentation by Pam Porter of TMTLA Associates. Porter said the rezoning and the prior amendment approved by council were designed to allow a new phase of the Page Oaks neighborhood consisting of up to 15 townhomes and to extend Oak Mill Drive internally rather than create a vehicular connection to Page Road.
Porter listed commitments: a minimum of 5% tree coverage (higher than none required), a maximum of 70% impervious surface, use of native species for plantings, a 10-foot multiuse path along Page Road, a $6,000 monetary contribution to Durham Public Schools and $15,000 to the Durham Dedicated Housing Fund, and planning-commission unanimous recommendation. Council moved, seconded and passed both the zoning and the consistency statement unanimously.
Ending: With the vote, staff and applicant will proceed to site-plan stage where engineering, sidewalk and stormwater details will be reviewed and final commitments gated by city requirements.
