Commission approves rezoning for 173-home subdivision; proposed $5,700/unit fire fee noted
Summary
The commission approved rezoning of about 89.84 acres (Grayson 007) to allow 173 single-family homes on the Highway 9 Bypass/Highway 66 corridor. Staff described buffers, sidewalks and a wetland delineation (approx. 14.2 acres) and presented a development agreement proposing a $5,700 per-unit fire and emergency fee totaling $986,100 for 173 units.
Staff presented a rezoning request (Grayson 007) to rezone roughly 89.84 acres from FA to MRDP for 173 single-family homes, noting a gross density of about 2 dwelling units per acre and a net density of 2.4 units per acre. The plan shows open-space increases, sidewalks, four pocket parks and extensive undisturbed buffers along Highway 9 and Highway 66; staff reported approximately 14.2 acres of wetlands on the site and indicated no proposed wetland impacts.
A representative identified as 'Walter Warren, Thomas, and Utton' said staff had covered project details and offered to answer questions. Later, staff described a proposed development agreement associated with the rezoning that would require a $5,700 per-unit fee for fire and emergency services, a five-year term with an automatic five-year extension, and a total contribution of $986,100 for the 173-unit project. The commission opened and closed public input with no public speakers, and the rezoning motion carried after a second. The development agreement description remained at the public-hearing stage and will proceed through required administrative and permitting steps.
Commissioners and staff emphasized the need to carry the development agreement and the rezoning forward through the county’s permitting and development-agreement processes before any construction activity begins.
