Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
There has been no previous Council Decision on this subdivision plat.

In February 2021, the City Council approved a rezoning request for the southern half of the subject property from Rural Residential (RR) to Medium Density Residential (MR) to support a multifamily residential development referred to as Sky Cottages.
Options and Alternatives:
- Approve the Final Plat with no conditions as recommended by staff.
- Approve the Final Plat with conditions.
- Deny the Final Plat based on non-compliance with the Zoning Code, the Subdivision Code, and/or the Engineering Design Standards and Specification for New Infrastructure.
Background and History:
In February 2021, the City Council approved a rezoning for the southern portion of the subject property from Rural Residential to Medium Density Residential to support the development of a 208 unit multifamily development referred to as Sky Cottages. This subdivision plat proposes to split the existing 36.94 acres along the zoning boundary. This will allow the Sky Cottage development to move forward and allow the property owner to pursue development options for the northern portion of the site. The subdivision plat will also provide the required right-of-way and public utility easements necessary to support the Sky Cottages development.
Key Considerations:
Subdivisions typically consist of two lots and a new road or three lots. The proposed subdivision of the existing 36.94 acres into two lots is required due to the overall size of the property (over 2.5 acres) and the parcel splits that have already occurred in the area.
Expanded Options and Alternatives:
Inform. The existing zoning of the 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 Final Plat review process.
