 A request for a Rezone and Outline Development Plan approval has been submitted in accordance with the Zoning and Development Code. The applicant has requested that approximately 51.04 acres located east of Hidden Valley Drive, High Ridge Drive and north of Bella Pago, be rezoned from R-2 (Residential, 2 units per acre) to PD (Planned Development) retaining R-2 as the default zoning designation.

 

 The PD zoning ordinance will establish the default zoning and maximum and minimum number of dwelling units. It also shows approximate areas of proposed open space and areas of slopes greater than 30%. Possible roadway connections and trails are also shown. Deviations from the R-2 bulk standards, specific design standards and entrance signage details shall be established with the preliminary plan for each phase, if required.
