Background and History:
In 2016, the City Council approved a rezoning request from Research and Development to Medium Density Residential on Parcel D3 within the McMillan Mesa Village Specific Plan area. The concept plan for Parcel D3 showed 50 single-family residential lots that front on an interior street that would be created through the subdivision process. The proposed elevations showed two-story homes like other houses located on McMillan Mesa.
The applicant, MMV Devco, LLC, is seeking Preliminary Plat approval for a 41-lot single-family residential subdivision within the larger McMillan Mesa Village development. Lot sizes range from 3,990 square feet to 10,919 square feet. New infrastructure will need to be provided for the project including one new residential local road (Misty Meadow Drive), 8" water and sewer lines, dry utilities, and stormwater LID. City staff approved the Preliminary Plat on February 24, 2022.

Expanded Options and Alternatives:
Inform. The existing zoning of the subject property allows for the proposed subdivision. No public hearings or public outreach are required by either the Zoning Code or the Subdivision Code as part of the Preliminary Subdivision Plat review process.
