Commission approves 62-acre PUD annexation for Parsons Road with mixed residential and neighborhood commercial
Summary
The commission approved annexation and rezoning to a planned unit development for a roughly 62.3-acre Parsons Road property, allowing mixed residential types, at least 2 acres of commercial, and a maximum of about 350 homes; one commissioner opposed the motion.
The Planning Commission voted May 18 to approve an annexation and rezoning to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a roughly 62.27-acre property along Parsons Road submitted by Glenn Siegelton.
Staff and the applicant said the PUD combines two petitions into a single development, and the applicant reported addressing nine staff comments and submitting a traffic impact analysis (TIA) to DOT for review. During a conceptual presentation, consultant Chris Campo described the plan as a walkable neighborhood with fronting parks, street trees, and a mix of residential and neighborhood-scale commercial uses. Campo said the concept calls for roughly 66 acres of residential, about 5.9 acres of neighborhood commercial, a maximum of about 350 homes, and at least 2 acres of commercial, with architectural standards such as Hardie plank specified.
A commissioner asked whether apartments were part of the plan; the applicant answered, "No." Another exchange clarified that the amenity area would be located within the residential open space shown on the plan. After questions, commissioners moved, seconded and approved the annexation and rezoning; the vote carried with one commissioner recorded as opposed.
The approved PUD document includes open-space commitments, street-tree plans, stormwater/ponding locations and architectural standards. The action will advance the item to the town council for final review where the TIA and final engineering will also be considered.
