D.R. Horton replaces Kovanian at Orchard Park; planning commission approved revised preliminary plat
Summary
Planning staff told council that Kovanian withdrew from the Orchard Park development and national builder D.R. Horton will take over; the planning commission approved a revised preliminary plat showing additional single-family lots and extra townhome units, with final plats expected in coming months.
Planning staff updated council that the Orchard Park development off Broadway has a new developer. Kovanian has withdrawn and D.R. Horton will take over the project; the planning commission approved a revised preliminary plat last week.
Staff said the revised plat increases the number of single-family lots and includes additional townhome units (staff described three triplex townhomes and about 77 single-family homes as part of the remaining build-out). Final plats and phase approvals will be returned to council in coming months as the developer advances the final plats.
Why it matters: a change to a national builder and an approved preliminary plat affects the pace, scale and product mix (single-family vs. townhomes) of local housing production and could influence neighborhood design and infrastructure planning.
Next steps: staff will bring final plats and phase approvals to council over the next several months.
