Developer withdraws Cedar Lane residential rezoning after intense public pushback
Summary
Cornerstone/Crescent Group's proposal for a 63‑lot, active‑adult community on Cedar Lane drew sustained public opposition over traffic, neighborhood character and growth concerns. After multiple revisions and extended public comment, the applicant withdrew both related rezoning cases.
Cornerstone Homes (Roger Glover, S11) presented a revised plan for a 63‑lot active‑adult subdivision, emphasizing open space, reduced lot counts (from ~80 to 63), and buffers to screen Cedar Lane. Glover framed the development as a response to documented need for low‑maintenance senior housing and noted tap‑fee and tax revenue potential, but residents and the planning commission raised concerns about traffic, density and loss of rural character.
Public testimony included lengthy opposition from multiple Cedar Lane residents who described long‑standing rural land ownership and urged the board to preserve the area's character. After extensive discussion and an attempt to negotiate proffers and buffer commitments, the applicant later withdrew the concurrent rezoning applications rather than pursue a contested approval.
