Explanation
Rezoning Amendment Z17-027A
Ordinance #2655-2018, passed October 8, 2018 (Z17-027), rezoned 11.57± acres located on the north side of Lehman Road, 760± feet west of Bowen Road to PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District for a single-unit residential development. That ordinance committed to a PUD Plan and building renderings, and included development standards addressing building setbacks, traffic access, open space, street trees, screening, and building materials. This ordinance amends the PUD Plan and Text in Section 3 to adjust the Lehman Road setback from 40 feet to 35 feet, to increase lot coverage from 58% to 60%, to allow for an 8-foot tall fence in the rear setback of certain lots, and to remove building renderings while adding a commitment to prohibit garage forward design (or require a front porch) in order to accommodate a different developer. All other aspects of Ordinance #2655-2018 remain in effect, and are included in this amendment.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
