Council approves 202‑acre Sardis Road concept plan with conditions; 31 lots and farms proposed
Summary
Council adopted concept plan 24‑045 for a 202‑acre parcel on Sardis Road showing 31 developable lots (three farm lots), large open‑space buffers, and four Planning Commission‑recommended conditions including recorded conservation easements and a trail constructed by first certificate of occupancy.
The council approved item 24‑045, the concept plan for a recently rezoned 202‑acre property on Sardis Road. Staff said the concept shows 31 developable one‑acre lots (three designated farm lots) surrounded by extensive open space and buffers; Planning Commission recommended approval 5‑0 with four conditions: show demarcation method on plans, record conservation easements before the first building permit, construct the main trail by the first certificate of occupancy, and have council clarify the application of the term "tightly clustered" for future matters.
Planning staff noted that the proposal meets the Unified Development Code clustering requirements and that the concept plan intentionally locates lots behind buffers so the road corridor will still appear wooded. A developer representative explained the farm lots would be used for small farms and farm stands rather than roadside residences. Council adopted the concept plan with the conditions recommended by the planning commission.
