Planning commission clears 65‑lot MRD‑1 plan on Highway 9, including buffered setbacks and left‑turn lane study
Summary
Commission approved a rezoning and future land‑use amendment to permit 65 single‑family 10,000‑sq‑ft lots on Highway 9; the applicant emphasized large buffers and a proposed left‑turn lane, and staff recommended approval.
The commission approved a rezoning application to allow 65 single‑family lots on roughly 32.66 acres along Highway 9, moving the site from CFA/FA to MRD‑1 with a net/gross density around 1.99 du/acre. The applicant described plans for a 35‑foot streetscape buffer, a 166‑foot access and a left‑turn lane on Highway 9 as an off‑site improvement to be studied.
“So 65 10000 square foot lots is what we're proposing,” applicant Felix Pitts told the commission, noting a 50‑foot undisturbed perimeter buffer in addition to the road buffer. The commission first voted to approve the future‑land‑use amendment and then approved the rezoning after staff recommended support.
Staff and the applicant said required traffic studies and any off‑site turn‑lane improvements would be addressed during engineering review; the approval was recorded as a motion and hand vote.
