Fisher Homes seeks rezoning for 33-acre Atkins Johnson site; commission recommends rezoning to RM with road/trail and traffic conditions
Summary
Fisher Homes (via Brian Tuohy) asked to rezone about 32.96 acres from AG to RM to permit roughly 49 single-family lots; staff and the commission supported the rezoning and forwarded it to council with six conditions including trail construction, a traffic-impact study and roadway improvements on Honey Creek Road.
Brian Tuohy represented Fisher Homes and Grand Communities in a presentation to the Greenwood Planning Commission on Dec. 8 seeking rezoning of approximately 32.96 acres from AG (agricultural) to RM (residential medium) for a proposed subdivision of about 49 single-family lots (PC2025-076).
Tuohy said the site is conceptually consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan designation of mixed-density residential and noted the developer’s plan includes generous lot sizes (average ~10,000 square feet) and right-of-way dedication to accommodate a future roundabout at Tracy/Honey Creek/Smoky Road. Renderings shown by the petitioner illustrated single-family homes in a higher-end product line; Tuohy estimated pricing in the range of the $600,000s to $800,000s for the proposed homes. Staff provided a favorable recommendation and listed six conditions that the petitioner accepted in concept, including full compliance with design and landscaping standards in the city’s ordinance, trail construction per the future trail network, completion of a traffic-impact study with scope set by engineering, calculation of a restricted donation for prospective roundabout work tied to the TIS, roadway widening and overlay along Honey Creek Road adjacent to the project, and coordination of any recommended improvements with the engineering division.
Commissioners asked about sequencing of roadway improvements and the risk of constructing improvements that might later be altered if a roundabout is built; Tuohy and the petitioner requested coordination with engineering so improvements align with the city’s future roundabout plans and avoid unnecessary rework. Staff indicated the commitment language requiring coordination with engineering should mitigate that risk.
After discussion, the commission moved to recommend the rezoning to the Greenwood Common Council with the six conditions noted. The motion carried unanimously where recorded. The proposal will advance to council review, and the petitioner is expected to provide a traffic-impact study and final design details as part of the council submission and subsequent plat/site-plan process.
