Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of up to 3.2 du/ac. subject to the condition that no disturbance of the site, including vegetation clearance, shall occur prior to MPC approval of the site plan.
This sloping wooded site is better suited for development under PR than the existing Agricultural zone due to severe slopes over much of the site. Applying the staff 's steep slope protection development policy and the county's MDR designation at 12 du/ac. for the portion of the site with less than 15% slope a density up to 3.2 du/ac. would be allowed (20 units) . The applicant is requesting an overall density of 6.5 du/ac. and has submitted the attached preliminary site plan for 39 units with only the north, more level, portion of the site being proposed to be disturbed by development.
