Summary

Staff presented a concept plan for Royal Highlands Estates, a proposed 68-unit residential subdivision on about 24 acres north on Archer; the committee agreed to place resolution 26059 on the May 6 agenda after the applicant described unit types, buffers and price estimates.

City staff presented a concept-plan application for Royal Highlands Estates, a proposed 68-unit residential subdivision on roughly 24 acres north on Archer, and the committee agreed to place the concept (resolution 26059) on the May 6 council agenda for action or consent.

Lance described the layout: duplex buildings on the east end, detached single-family lots on the west, retention ponds in the interior and significant landscape buffers to protect adjacent properties. He said the site is currently zoned R1 with a small C2 area on the east edge and that lot sizes meet or exceed city minimums. Lance noted neighbors attended the plan-and-zoning hearing and that staff answered many questions at that prior meeting.

An applicant representative provided price guidance: “high fours, low fives” at base level for single-family homes and townhomes “in the fours,” according to the developer. Staff said the townhome product will be a two-duplex format rather than larger multi-unit buildings. The committee chose to move the concept-plan resolution to the May 6 council agenda so the full council may consider public comment and next steps.

What’s next: Resolution 26059 will appear before the full council on May 6 for further review and possible action; final development plans, infrastructure sequencing and any required annexation or zoning changes will need subsequent council approval.
