Developers propose 35-home subdivision on Welcome Wall Road; stream buffer cited as constraint
Summary
HRC Engineers and Lee Parker Group proposed rezoning 4700 Welcome Wall Road to a CUP for a 35-lot single-family subdivision; presenters said environmental constraints limit street connections and the homes are planned at about 1,600–2,000 sq ft with expected prices around $400,000.
Jonathan Telenis of HRC Engineers, joined by Kit Berry of the Lee Parker Group, presented a rezoning request to convert 4700 Welcome Wall Road from AG-1 to a conditional-use planned subdivision with 35 single-family lots on approximately 15 acres. The team said the property previously had a larger rezoning under different ownership and that the current plan intentionally avoids development across the creek and leaves the back of the property undeveloped.
When staff asked about on-site amenities, the presenters said the plan includes an open recreational area. Staff also asked whether the subdivision would connect to a stub street on the adjacent subdivision; the presenters said proximity to a stream buffer prevents a practical connection without added environmental impacts, causing them to avoid the stream and keep development to the portion of the site accessible from Welcome Wall.
Design details discussed by the presenters included house footprints of roughly 1,600–2,000 square feet, mostly 3–4 bedrooms with double garages, hardy or LP siding, and the expectation that homes will be energy-efficient. The presenters estimated selling prices in the “around $400,000 plus” range to be comparable to the local market.
Staff asked whether an updated site plan had been submitted; the presenters said they planned to send a revised plan after collecting feedback from the public-participation meeting scheduled for Jan. 27 at Welcome All Park (hybrid meeting at 11:30 a.m.).
Next steps: the applicant will finalize the updated site plan and hold the public participation meeting Jan. 27; staff will review the updated materials prior to the planning commission hearing dates on the current application cycle.
