Background
On this agenda you will also find a final plat approval request from Source Construction Capital for a fourth phase of townhome development in Legacy Creek. As you remember, Centex Homes was issued a conditional use permit to construct the original townhomes in this plat, but Mattamy Homes took over the construction of the townhomes and was issued a new conditional use permit in 2011 that guided the development. In order for Mattamy Homes to construct their units on the newly final platted lots, a conditional use permit amendment is required that sets up the standards of development, and that negates the townhomes designs by Centex that were approved for this site several years ago.
The standards of development for the newly platted lots will match what was approved in 2011 for Mattamy's units. Mattamy is proposing six buildings for a total of 27 units.
Site plan design will be consistent with prior approval and Site Plan Approval will be required prior to issuance of any building permits for the townhomes. This is an administrative process that does not require further Council action.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
