Staff Recommendation

RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of up to 2 du/ac, as requested.

---

PR zoning at the recommended density is compatible with the surrounding zoning pattern and is consistent with the policies of the Growth Policy Plan for the Rural Area. The proposed density of 2 du/ac is the maximum that may be permitted under the Rural Area policies of the Growth Policy Plan for this property, which is not contiguous with the Planned Growth Area. The proposed density is just slightly above what would be allowed with strict application of the residential density and land disturbance guidelines of the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan (HRPP).
