Aspen Creek Village PUD cleared by planning commission for council review; residents voice traffic and lot‑size concerns
Summary
Staff recommended approval of Aspen Creek Village PUD and associated rezoning for roughly 90 acres and up to 415 single‑family lots; commissioners and neighbors pressed the applicant on frontage‑road requirements, screening, and traffic impacts before forwarding the recommendation to council.
Planning staff presented PUD 18932024 and BAZ 18912024 for Aspen Creek Village, describing a proposed single‑family development on about 90 acres with a maximum of 415 dwelling units, modified minimum lot sizes, and typical PUD deviations. Staff said water and sanitary sewer will be available from the city and that the comp‑plan had been amended earlier to a level that allows RS‑4 zoning with a PUD overlay.
Commissioners focused on specific technical points: side‑yard specifications (minimum 5 feet each side for a 10‑foot total), where screening and masonry columns would be used along Tucson Street, and whether the comprehensive‑plan requirement for a frontage road was shown on conceptual drawings. Staff clarified the frontage‑road requirement remains unless and until a comp‑plan amendment or plat modification is approved. Nearby homeowner James Mitchell opposed RS‑4 and said the lot sizes and traffic on a two‑lane road will be harmful; applicant representatives said the acreage and adjacency to an arterial/turnpike and existing apartments make the proposed product appropriate as transitional housing. The commission recommended approval to City Council with staff‑noted conditions and follow‑up on frontage‑road details.
