Summary

An applicant requested a rezoning amendment to adjust an MRD boundary after a survey discrepancy reduced a previously required 25-foot buffer to a narrow 12-foot segment; staff and the applicant said the on-the-ground landscaping and fence will remain as originally planned.

Staff explained that a property-line discrepancy discovered after MRD approval changed where a 25-foot Type A exterior buffer could be placed; the applicant now seeks a rezoning (34.95 acres) to amend the MRD-1 for that phase so the record reflects the buffer difference. Staff said the property is not in a flood zone and showed the master plan and a zoomed-in plat of the affected area.

An Afcon representative told the commission the change is strictly a plotting action and that "none of those are changing" on the ground — landscaping and an existing fence will remain, and the narrowest portion of the exterior buffer will be 12 feet. The commission scheduled the item for the public hearing at the official meeting next week.
