Recitals:

 

 A request for a rezone from R-R (Residential – Rural, 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres) to PD (Planned Development) on approximately 3.0 acres by approval of a Preliminary Development Plan (Plan) with a default R-8 zone, with deviations, has been submitted in accordance with the Zoning and Development Code (Code).

 

 This Planned Development zoning ordinance will establish the standards, default zoning (R-8) and deviations and adopt the Preliminary Development Plan for Cobble Creek Subdivision. If this approval expires or becomes invalid for any reason, the property shall be fully subject to the default standards of the R-8 zone district.

 

 In public hearings, the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed the request for the proposed Preliminary Development Plan approval and determined that the Plan satisfied the criteria of the Code and is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Growth Plan.
