consisting of 16.399 acres generally located south of Nantucket Drive between State
Highway 6 and Harper's Ferry Road, from A-O Agricultural Open to PDD Planned
Development District. (04-82)
Staff Planner Prochazka presented the Staff Report. Ms. Prochazka stated that the applicant is
requesting the rezoning in order to continue the development of South Hampton, a single-family
subdivision and that Staff is recommending approval of the rezoning. Ms. Prochazka explained
that the PDD-H zoning that was established in 1997 expired in 2003 and the zoning reverted
back to A-0. She stated that Staff views the purpose of this PDD as reinstating the previously
approved land uses in the original PDD-H. Ms. Prochazka explained that the uses requested are
for 43 single-family residential lots, buffers and landscape reserves, similar to those developed
in South Hampton Phase 1. If the zoning is approved, the lot configuration and street layout will
go before the Design Review board for approval. Finally, Ms. Prochazka pointed out that the
request is in compliance with the Land Use Plan.
Commissioner White asked about the life of a PDD zoning district. Ms. Prochazka explained that
under the UDO, the zoning does not expire but rather the concept plan, which has a life of one
year. At a later date, an ordinance establishing an expiration date of two years was added to
PDD zonings. This particular PDD expired two years from the date of that ordinance. All PDD
zonings that predated that expiration ordinance expired August 2003.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.
Since no one spoke, Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing.
