Background and History:
Last year the Planning Commission and the City Council approved a preliminary plat for the Wedge. After the approval of this plat, a new buyer identified a deed restriction on the property requiring a 40 foot protected forest area along the western property line between the subdivision and the adjacent Flagstaff Ranch Golf Club. This 40-foot preservation area required the reconfiguration of the proposed internal road layout requiring modification to the approved preliminary plat. The new road layout removes two previous cul-de-sacs within the plat. Small lot reconfigurations were made to adjust for the new road layout.
Key Considerations:
The property is zoned RR, Rural Residential. The proposed development of 47 single-family residential lots is within the density permitted by the Flagstaff Zoning Code (Section 10-40.30.030). The RR density allowance is one (1) unit per acre within the Resource Protection Overlay Zone; the proposed density is one (1) unit per acre.
Planned Residential Development (PRD) is a permitted use in the RR zone. Division 10-40.60.280 (page 40.60-53) of the Zoning Code addresses specific use standards for Planned Residential Developments. PRDs may use different building types (i.e., Carriage House, Single-Family Cottage, Duplex) as part of an integrated site planning process in non-transect zones and for achieving gross densities on undeveloped land where substantial natural resources are present on the site. Division 10-50.110 of the Zoning Code provides standards for specific building types and specifies the transect zones in which they are allowed. The T3N.2 transect zone allows the Single-Family Estate building type in new neighborhoods. Single-Family Estate standards are located in Division 10-50.110.050 of the Zoning Code (page 50.110-9).
