Applicant: Tony Jones
Item Summary: This tract is surrounded by the Foxfire and Sandstone subdivisions on the east, south
and west and Sandstone Park on the north. It contains 14.41 acres and lies at the end of Oakwood Trail in
the Sandstone Subdivision. Foxfire is zoned A-OR Rural Residential (minimum one acre lots) and
Sandstone is zoned R-1 Single Family although the lots meet the A-OR dimensions. The developer intends
to build large (over one acre lots) for single family development.
A plat will come before the Commission in January. The land use plan reflects this area for low density
single family development. This density calls for lots ranging from 'h acre to 3 acres in size. The plat that
will come before you contains 9 lots ranging from just over one acre to just over 4 acres.

which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission options are to recommend approval of
rezoning as submitted, recommend approval with physical conditions that will mitigate negative impacts,
recommend a less intense zoning classification, recommend denial, table indefmitely, or defer action to a
specified date.
Infrastructure and Facilities
Water and sewer extensions will be made as part of the platting process, as will the extension of Oakwood
trail to provide access. Parkland dedication will be addressed at the time of platting.
