RE: REZ02-00022 Windsor Ridge Part 12 Amended OPDH
Please find attached a revised landscape plan for the proposed amended PDH plan for Lot
255 of Windsor Ridge Part 12. The applicant has illustrated the addition of planting areas
on the south side of the townhouse buildings as recommended by staff. Staff still
recommends further development of the picnic area, which has not been proposed with this
revision.
Staff recommends that REZ02-00022 a rezoning to amend a Planned Development Housing
Overlay (PDH-8) for Windsor Ridge, Part 12, Lot 255, a 7.93 acre development located at
Court Street and Arlington Drive be approved with the following variations and subject to an
improved design for the picnic area:
1. Reduction in the distance between two primary buildings on a single lot to 17 feet.
2. Multiple primary buildings located on one lot.
3. Three 12-plex multi-family buildings allowed on a lot with the an RS-8 underlying
zone.
At the February 6 meeting the Commission discussed additional revisions to this proposed
plan. If the Commission chooses to approve this PDH plan subject to any additional
revisions, please be prepared to clearly articulate these revisions in your motion.
