Council posts rezoning ordinance to create Shadow Creek Planned Unit Development with 30% open space and 3.5 du/acre cap
Summary
Ordinance No. 26-036 would rezone Dual Jurisdiction Lots #10232–10235 to the Shadow Creek Planned Unit Development, adopt PUD zoning text including a 3.5 dwelling-units-per-acre cap and a 30% minimum common-open-space requirement; Planning Commission recommended the PUD on Jan. 5, 2026; the transcript shows the ordinance text and exhibits but does not record public hearing testimony or a vote.
Ordinance No. 26-036, sponsored by Council Member Mike Reese, appears on the agenda to rezone Dual Jurisdiction Lots #10232–10235 to the Shadow Creek Planned Unit Development (PUD) designation and to adopt zoning regulations (Exhibit B) to be added to Chapter 154 of the City’s Codified Ordinances. The ordinance text states that the Wadsworth City Planning Commission forwarded and recommended the rezoning on January 5, 2026.
Exhibit B contains the Shadow Creek PUD zoning text. Key provisions include a stated maximum density of 3.5 dwelling units per acre (the ordinance notes the proposed calculated density for the project area is 2.92 du/acre), a requirement that at least 30% of the PUD land area be held in perpetuity as common open space to preserve watercourses, steep slopes and wetlands, and a requirement to form homeowners' or unit owners' association(s) to manage non-public improvements and common areas. The zoning text limits permitted uses primarily to single-family attached and detached dwellings and explicitly reserves amendment authority to City Council. The ordinance declares itself an emergency measure "in order to promote economic development" and states it will take immediate effect if it receives a two-thirds vote; the transcript contains the ordinance text and exhibits but does not record any public-comment testimony or a vote on the rezoning.
