Reaular Agenda.
8. Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning for South
Hampton, 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-O. 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.
