ACTION REQUEST
A & S Engineers, Inc., on behalf of the owner, Rainsong Partnership LLC, presents an update to the Cobblestone Subdivision Master Plan and PUD amendment to accommodate the land use changes which have occurred since the original approval. Located west of FM 2004 and North of Central Park Blvd (undeveloped Sections 3 and 4).
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
The Master Plan for the Cobblestone Subdivision and the rezoning as PUD were approved by the City Commission at its meeting on September 5, 2018, after a public hearing. The applications were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Board (regular meeting on July 22, 2018) and Zoning Commission (public hearing and regular meeting August 7, 2018).
The development is located on the west side of FM 2004 and south of the GCWA canal. It was the remainder of property originally approved for development as part of the Rainsong Subdivision. The approved Cobblestone Subdivision Master Plan and PUD proposed to develop 162 acres into 584 lots in six sections and to provide a combination of 40ft (25%), 45ft (17%), 50ft (36%) and 60ft (20%) lots.
Sections 1 and 2 were fully developed and built out in accordance with the Master Plan as approved. However, the sale of 37 acres (proposed Sections 5 and 6) to the DISD for a school site reduced the anticipated lot yield by 235 lots. Other changes to the land plan also reduced the size of the community park, and the timing for construction. Originally intended to serve both Rainsong and the Cobblestone development, the community park construction was slated to commence no later than issuance of the building permit for the 125th home. The buildout of the development is well beyond that measure of development with almost 300 residences being completed and occupied.
The Developer’s sale of property to the DISD included an obligation to extend Central Park Blvd by a certain date. The Developer did not achieve the contractual deadline and was placed in default by the DISD. The Developer attained a revised deadline which allowed the new school to open without delay. The connection from Central Park Blvd to the I45 north bound frontage road was completed by others and is in service.
