The site is 19.77 gross acres (861,180 sf) which includes 4.6 acres (200,376 sf) allocated to an overhead powerline easement (approximately 9 units/acre). Lennar is under contract to purchase the parcels which are in Planning District 10 as reflected in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. At the public hearing on May 11th City Council meeting, Council opened the public hearing to take comment from the public. The Council reviewed the proposal, heard public comment, and the applicant answered questions. Based on Council discussion and public comment, Lennar has provided an updated Preliminary Site Plan to show additional circulation to address concerns about traffic, city road connections, and internal connections within the private streets of the development.
