VI. LAND USE
A. Existing Land Use(s): The site is currently vacant undeveloped property.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is
primarily surrounded by vacant land zoned R4.
C. History of Previous Actions:
In 2010, the property was granted preliminary plat approval for 194 single-family lots, 22
common lots, 7 commercial lots and 3 office lots (RZ-10-004, PP-10-005).
In 2016, the property was granted final plat approval of the second phase consisting of 28
single-family lots and 7 common lots (H-2016-0095).
VII. STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to modify the final plat approved with file #H-2016-0095. The original plat
included a total of twenty-eight (28) buildable lots. The applicant now wishes to eliminate two (2) of t he
buildable lots in order to increase the size of the lots. Further, the modification is desired so the boundary
of the plat coincides with a subsequent phase. Per UDC 11-6B-3C, the applicant has ability to reduce the
number of buildable lots and still remain consistent with the approved preliminary plat.
Staff recommends approval of the requested changes to the final plat as depicted in Exhibit C and in
accord with all of the conditions of approval associated with H-2016-0095.
