STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor Fischer and Members of the City Council FROM: Corrin Wendell, Community Development Director DATE: Wednesday, February 22, 2023 RE: Final Plat 2nd Addition Pioneer Commons and Development Agreement – Case #1415 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To consider approval for the Final Plat 2nd Addition for U.S. Home, LLC, and Lennar and Development Agreement. BACKGROUND The City has received a Final Plat 2nd Addition application from U.S. Home, LLC, Lennar, to construct the next section of the townhome community with (178) townhomes. Lennar plans to develop a mix of row townhomes and back-to-back townhomes to achieve an overall R-2 medium density zoning in accordance with future land use designations in the Comprehensive Plan. 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 has purchased the parcels which are in Planning District 10 as reflected in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary Plat at the May 5th meeting. Then, the City Council held a public hearing on May 11th and granted approval of the Preliminary Plat on May 25, 2022. Based on Council discussion and public comment, Lennar had provided an updated Site Plan to show additional circulation to address concerns about traffic, city road connections, and internal connections within the private streets of the development. The Final Plat 1st Addition, Rezoning, and Variance was approved by the City Council on October 26, 2022. The Final Plat is staged in three additions, the first addition includes the southeast quadrant, the second addition includes the southwest quadrant, and the third addition will include the quadrant north of the powerlines. When the 1st addition was approved by Council there was discussion around providing the second County Road D access in the 2nd addition. The County Road D access will occur in the third addition given the infrastructure process of beginning construction in the southeast and moving north with each addition. The construction of the roadways is being built in tandem with the sewer and water infrastructure and townhome units within the development. The schedule for Lennar is moving at a faster pace than thought before and so the third addition will be presented in the near future.
