Commission backs Codexa master plan and zoning map amendments, sending recommendation to council
Summary
The commission recommended adoption of master plan and zoning changes to convert a 4.61-acre Codexa Way parcel from Unincorporated Transition to Large Lot Residential 1, resolving split zoning and enabling up to four one-acre lots; staff and applicant emphasized clustering options and BLM-surrounded context.
The Planning Commission voted Sept. 2 to recommend city council adopt a master-plan amendment and zoning-map change for a roughly 4.61-acre parcel at 5840 Codexa Way, converting the property from Unincorporated Transition to Large Lot Residential 1. Staff said LLR1 is more restrictive than the county's UT zoning and aligns with the foothill transition context around BLM land.
Associate planner Jeff Foster described the site as mostly UT designation but surrounded by BLM parcels and adjacent to Talos Valley development. Applicant representative Brook Oswald (RET Group) noted the request would unify split zoning, allow up to four single-family lots by parcel map, and enable clustering techniques to preserve open space. "We see that natural transition and lessening of density as we go up the foothills," Oswald said. Staff recommended approval and the commission voted to forward a recommendation for adoption and associated zoning changes to city council and regional conformance review.
