Summary:
This project includes concurrent applications for a major master plan amendment to the 475-acre Allison Valley Master Plan (now known as The Farm), a PUD zone change for 26 acres, and a 75.65-acre development plan.
The master plan amendment modifies the land use of approximately 129 acres, reduces and reconfigures residential densities, reconfigures major access points, relocates the 15-acre school site, expands the parks, trails and open space, preserves drainage areas, and illustrates areas of the plan that have been previously implemented.
The zoning request rezones 26.03 acres from A (Agricultural) and PUD to PUD (Planned Unit Development: Single-family residential, 2 - 3.49 dwelling units per acre, 36-foot maximum building height).
The 75.65-acre PUD development plan will allow the construction of 212 single family residential lots along with an 8.9-acre neighborhood park, trail corridors and public roads.
