Title
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE BUFFALO HIGHLANDS PUD ZONE DOCUMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1
Body
Summary and Background Information:
The subject property is approximately 23.2 acres in size and is part of the Buffalo Highlands development which is zoned PUD. The subject property is also Planning Area A within Buffalo Highlands. Planning Area A is designated for Townhomes in the current PUD Zone Document. The applicant is requesting approval of a PUD Zone Document Amendment in order to allow construction of single-family attached dwellings in Planning Area A.
The Land Development Code definition for a Townhouse specifically excludes single-family attached dwellings as being defined as a townhome. Single-family attached dwellings are essentially duplex dwellings, or two connected dwelling units. The Buffalo Highlands PUD Zone Document must be amended to allow construction of single-family attached dwellings in Planning Area A, which is the basis for this request.
A Conceptual Site Plan was submitted along with the PUD Zone Document Amendment request. The site plan contains a total 164 proposed Single-Family Attached dwellings. This represents a density of approximately ±7 dwelling units per acre, which is within the range of allowed density allocated to Planning Area A (6-15 DUs per acre-255 total DUs). In contrast with the existing PUD Zone Document, the proposed density in developing Planning Area A with single-family attached dwellings will not result in any increased density or a greater number of dwellings than currently allowed. The applicant also submitted Architectural Elevations with the PUD Zone Document Amendment application. The elevations provided by the applicant comply with the architectural standards of the Land Development Code.
