Council approves Galleria 45 plan and zoning changes with conditions to preserve 22 acres
Summary
The council approved a comprehensive plan amendment and associated zone change (Galleria 45) to allow 91 low-density dwellings on a 46-acre city-owned parcel, adding conditions to preserve 22 acres of non-developable land and require planning commission review for any boundary changes.
Henderson — The City Council approved a two-part land-use application for a 46-acre city-owned parcel near the intersection of Galleria Drive and Calico Ridge Drive, limiting development on the site to 91 dwelling units and adding conditions to preserve significant non-developable open space.
Planning staff described the request as an amendment to the comprehensive plan and a zoning change from development holding to low-density residential with a hillside and redevelopment overlay. "The accompanying ordinance limits the site to allow only 91 dwelling units in total," staff told the council.
Councilman Seebach said staff and the planning commission had met with neighbors and addressed their primary concern — density. "The bottom line is the biggest concern for the neighbors was the density, and we're able to meet that," Seebach said, and he moved to add language to preserve at least 22 acres of non-developable land and maintain the southernmost 450 feet of the parcel as non-developable.
Staff clarified that if the non-developable area boundary is changed, the tentative map would be required to return to the planning commission as a public hearing with mailed notices sent to property owners within 525 feet.
The council voted to approve the comprehensive plan amendment and the associated resolution (Resolution No. 4640) as recommended, with the added condition on the non-developable boundary and the tentative map process.
The council did not receive public testimony on the item; staff said neighbors had been consulted during project review.
Next steps include formalization of conditions in the ordinance text and any required planning commission hearings if the non-developable boundary is adjusted.
