SUBJECT: FP-10-005 -Zebulon Heights Subdivision No. 3
I. APPLICATION SUNIlVIARY & LOCATION
The applicant, The Traditions by Amyx II, LLP, has applied for final plat approval of 18 building lots, 4 common
area lots, and 1 ACHD storm drainage lot on 8.06 acres of land for Zebulon Heights Subdivision No. 3. The
proposed subdivision is currently zoned R-4 (Medium Low Density Residential). The property is located south of
E. McMillan Road and west of N. Eagle Road, in the NE '/a of Section 32, T. 4N., R. 1 E.
As part of this phase, the applicant proposes to construct and landscape anoff-site street buffer along McMillan
Road on ACHD property north of the proposed subdivision through a license agreement with ACRD.
Additionally, ACHD is going to convert a portion of land that is currently part of the drainage pond to right-of-
way for the extension of Camas Creek Way into the site.
The City Council approved the preliminary plat (PP-OS-008) for Zebulon Heights Subdivision No. 2 on April 19,
2005. The plat contained 175 single-family residential building lots and 20 other/common lots on 72.85 acres of
land in an R-4 zoning district. A planned development (CUP-OS-006) was also approved at that time for single-
family homes with reduced lot frontages and a reduction in density to less than three dwelling units per acre. A
development agreement was required with annexation (AZ-OS-006) of this property, recorded as Instrument No.
106111627. In 2006, an 18 month time extension (TE-06-005 & TE-06-006) was granted to record the first final
plat and commence the use as approved with the CUP. In 2009, another time extension (TE-09-012) was
approved to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the second phase of the development.
This is the second final plat proposed for Zebulon Heights Subdivision No. 2. The applicant has until September
27, 2010 to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat or apply for another time extension in accord
with UDC 11-6B-7.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for consistency with the approved preliminary plat and found it to be in
substantial conformance per UDC11-6B-3C as the number of buildable lots is the same and there is not a
reduction in the amount of open space proposed.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Zebulon Heights Subdivision No. 3 final plat subject to the conditions noted
below. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the City
Council.

#106111627), preliminary plat (PP-OS-008), and conditional use permit/planned development (CUP-OS-006)
applications for this subdivision.
2. If the City Engineer's signature has not been obtained on this final plat by September 27, 2010, the
