STAFF REPORT <br />TO: Chair Kwapick and Planning Commission Members <br />FROM:Corrin Wendell, Community Development Director <br />DATE: Thursday, February 9, 2023 <br />RE: Final Plat 2nd Addition Pioneer Commons – Case #1415 <br />ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED <br />To consider recommending approval to the City Council for the Final Plat 2nd Addition for U.S. <br />Home, LLC, and Lennar. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City has received a Final Plat 2nd Addition application from U.S. Home, LLC, Lennar, to <br />construct the next section of the townhome community with (178) townhomes. Lennar plans to <br />develop a mix of row townhomes and back-to-back townhomes to achieve an overall R-2 <br />medium density zoning in accordance with future land use designations in the Comprehensive <br />Plan. The site is 19.77 gross acres (861,180 sf) which includes 4.6 acres (200,376 sf) allocated to <br />an overhead powerline easement (approximately 9 units/acre). Lennar has purchased the parcels <br />which are in Planning District 10 as reflected in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. <br />The Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary Plat at the May 5th meeting. Then, the City <br />Council held a public hearing on May 11th and granted approval of the Preliminary Plat on May <br />25, 2022. Based on Council discussion and public comment, Lennar had provided an updated <br />Site Plan to show additional circulation to address concerns about traffic, city road connections, <br />and internal connections within the private streets of the development. The Final Plat 1st <br />Addition, Rezoning, and Variance was approved by the City Council on October 26, 2022. <br />The Final Plat is staged in three additions, the first addition includes the southeast quadrant, the <br />second addition includes the southwest quadrant, and the third addition will include the quadrant <br />north of the powerlines. When the 1st addition was approved by Council there was discussion <br />around providing the second County Road D access in the 2nd addition. The County Road D <br />access will occur in the third addition given the infrastructure process of beginning construction <br />in the southeast and moving north with each addition. The construction of the roadways is being <br />built in tandem with the sewer and water infrastructure and townhome units within the <br />development. The schedule for Lennar is moving at a faster pace than thought before and so the <br />third addition will be presented in the near future.
