Developer seeks to fold Seal tract into Bridgewater PD; applicants present infrastructure, school and unit projections
Summary
The commission heard a detailed presentation on a request to rezone about 593.94 acres into PD‑136 (Bridgewater expansion), including revised subdistricts, Hayes Road alignment changes, added amenities and a projected net increase of roughly 910 housing units; the hearing included questions on schools and road agreements and concluded with a motion to approve (vote not recorded in provided segments).
Staff presented a request to rezone approximately 593.939 acres to amend and restate Planned Development District No. 136 (Bridgewater). Assistant Director Miriam Spencer (speaker 6) summarized the changes: six single‑family residential subdistricts, increased townhome and commercial subdistricts, a revised Hayes Road alignment to connect to existing planned developments and Highway 287, retention of a 30‑foot landscape buffer between residential and industrial uses, and a 0.5‑mile separation standard between residential and parks. Staff notified 26 property owners and received one emailed opposition from an adjacent property owner concerned about adjacent land use and sanitary‑sewer easements.
Applicant representatives (Aaron Duncan with Mesa Design Group, speaker 5, and other applicant speakers) described folding the Seal tract into Bridgewater, adding creek crossings and road connections, expanding the commercial frontage on 287, and carrying design amenities through the new area. The applicant presented build‑out figures and amenities: an estimated additional 710 single‑family lots and about 200 townhomes (a total projected buildout of roughly 3,035 units across Bridgewater after the amendment), and a planned amenity center currently in permit at roughly $8,000,000. Commissioners focused questions on schools (staff cited a student‑generation factor of 0.60 students per home), development agreements for Hayes Road (staff and applicant said construction responsibility would be addressed through plats or later agreements), and signage rules; the applicant stated they would construct two lanes of Hayes Road as plats fronting the roadway are developed. The transcript shows a motion to approve the rezoning; the provided segments include the motion and second but do not contain a recorded vote tally in the excerpt.
