Commission approves small-scale amendment at Deer Road to allow a second dwelling
Summary
The Board approved HCCPA 2613 (approx. 1.12 acres) to change future land use from Res 1 to Res 2, allowing an increase from 1 to 2 dwelling units per gross acre; applicant Lindy Long said the change corrects a parcel-creation anomaly and would permit splitting to build a family home.
The Board approved HCCPA 2613, a privately initiated small-scale map amendment for a 1.12-acre parcel at 2909 Deer Road, by a 7–0 vote.
Planning Commission staff presented the request and found it consistent with applicable comprehensive-plan policies for suburban enclaves. The change would allow density to increase from one dwelling unit per gross acre to two dwelling units per gross acre, and the applicant said the amendment would permit dividing the parcel to create room for an additional dwelling while meeting well and septic requirements.
Applicant Lindy Long told commissioners she has owned the property for 10 years and said the surrounding area already contains higher-density parcels; she said prior zoning reviews indicated parcel certification was not possible without a plan amendment. The Board voted to approve the amendment and move forward with the companion rezoning process as required.
