Project Summary:
The requested PUD amendment will decrease the minimum 120-foot lot width requirement to 110 feet for eight (8) residential lots within the Pedregal, Section 2 Subdivision.
The Pedregal Master Plan was approved with the current lot configuration. However, during the design phase for Pedregal, Section 2, it was discovered that eight lots would not meet the minimum lot width requirement of 120 feet. The affected lots are Lots 2 thru 6, Block 1 and Lots 7 thru 9, Block 3.
Currently, the Pedregal Subdivision is 60% developed with 453 lots platted and another 25%, or 196 lots, under development. The eight affected lots account for 1.04% of the entire Pedregal development. If the request is approved, there would be no changes to the master plan, no changes to other portions of the PUD document, nor any physical changes to the development (i.e. traffic impacts, utilities, floodplain, etc.). However, should the request be denied, the Applicant would have to reduce the number of lots within Pedregal Section 2 by two. The proposed lot count, as noted in the PUD Document and Master Plan, would not be increased as a result of this amendment.
On September 18, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the PUD Amendment by a vote of 4-2-1 with one member absent and one member abstaining.
On October 10, 2023, City Council held the first public hearing in which a motion to approve, failed by a vote of 4-4-0.
