Staff backs PR‑5 rezoning at Ball Camp School Road with road‑widening and hillside protections
Summary
Staff recommended approving rezoning of 7.83 acres at 9717 Ball Camp School Road to PR up to 5 units/acre, subject to widening Ball Camp School Road per county engineering and limiting disturbance in the hillside protection area to 2.52 acres (yielding up to 39 units).
Planning staff recommended approval of a rezoning request for 7.83 acres at 9717 Ball Camp School Road that would change the site from PR at 2 dwelling units per acre to PR at 5 dwelling units per acre, subject to two conditions.
Planner Jesse told the commission the front half of the property sits in a suburban residential place type that could support greater density while the rear half lies in a rural conservation place type with steep slopes. Staff recommended limiting disturbance in the hillside protection overlay to no more than 2.52 acres per the slope analysis and requiring the developer to widen Ball Camp School Road from the property’s access to Middlebrook Pike to meet county engineering standards before permitting.
Under the recommended conditions, staff said the site would yield a maximum of 39 units and produce approximately 4.13 acres of developable land once protected slopes are set aside. Staff told commissioners the requested density aligns with nearby infrastructure improvements and the comprehensive plan in a way that can be managed through the two conditions.
Next steps: staff recommended approval with the stated conditions; commissioners may discuss, modify conditions or vote on the rezoning at a subsequent hearing.
