Moore approves Riverstone Villas comp plan amendment and rezoning with fencing and playground conditions
Summary
The council approved a comp plan amendment and rezoning (RZ1054 / Ordinance No. 4625) for the Riverstone Villas PUD, adding a requirement that the developer install a stockade fence on NW 12th Street with the first phase and maintain it via the HOA, and defining the playground to cover the former gazebo area and include a slide, swing set and climbing wall.
Moore City Council members voted on May 4 to approve a comprehensive plan amendment and companion rezoning (RZ1054) to allow a higher-density planned unit development for a parcel north of Northwest 12th Street and west of North Santa Fe Avenue, commonly described in the packet as Riverstone Villas.
Staff presented the PUD proposal, noting changes made at Planning Commission included narrower 45-foot lots, an increased density of six dwelling units per acre, a detention pond and a package of amenities (brick/stone facades, trees, benches, sidewalks and a walking trail). During questioning, council members raised concerns about fencing along NW 12th Street becoming a "patchwork" if left to individual homeowners. Staff recommended the motion include a requirement that a stockade fence be installed with phase one of construction and be owned and maintained by the homeowners association in perpetuity. The applicant's representative, Caitlin Turner (speaker 10), said she would work to include uniform screening language in the PUD's master design statement and agreed to the proposed conditions.
After a brief procedural withdrawal and re-motion to incorporate the fence and to define the playground, a motion to approve item 5 (comp plan amendment with the fencing and defined playground language) and item 6 (rezoning RZ1054 and ordinances) carried by roll call. The approved motion specified that the playground shall occupy the same 20-foot diameter area planned for the gazebo and must include a slide, a swing set and a climbing wall; the fence along NW 12th is to be constructed in the first phase and maintained by the HOA.
Council and staff noted that more detailed construction plans and any further PUD amendments will return to Planning Commission and, if revised, come back to the council for approval.
