STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor Fischer and Members of the City Council FROM: Corrin Wendell, AICP, Community Development Director DATE: January 24, 2024 RE: Final Plat 3rd Addition and Development Agreement - Pioneer Commons – Case #1427 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To consider approval for the Final Plat 3rd Addition for Pioneer Commons and the Development Agreement. BACKGROUND The City has received a Final Plat 3rd Addition application from U.S. Home, LLC, Lennar, to construct the last section of the townhome community with (178) townhomes. Lennar is developing 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 2nd Addition was reviewed and approved by the City Council in February of 2023. The 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 includes 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. APPLICANT/OWNER: U.S. Home, LLC 16305 36th Ave N.
