Staff Recommendation

APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning.
APPROVE a density of up to 1.5 du/ac. (Applicant requested up to 2 du/ac.)

---

Based on the significant steep slopes located on this site, staff is recommending against the applicant's request for 2 du/ac du and is recommending approval of PR zoning at 1.5 du/ac. PR zoning is compatible with surrounding development and zoning and is consistent with the low density residential sector plan designation for this property. The adjoining attached residential subdivision to the north, Brockton Place, is zoned PR at 6 du/ac.

The applicant is planning on combining this property with the adjoining property to the southwest to develop a detached residential subdivision. In May of 2008, the applicant was approved for a 5-lot subdivision on the adjoining 5-acre lot (5-SC-08-C). Since the majority of the site has significant slope constraints, the applicant anticipates that all development with be located near the terminus of Lyngate Blvd. where the slopes are not as significant. Access to the lots will be from a new public right-of-way that will be extended from the current terminus of Lyngate Blvd.
