Background and History:
The applicant, Wedge LLC, is seeking final plat approval for a 47-lot single-family residential subdivision. The Wedge is a property located on the west edge of the city limits adjacent to the Flagstaff Ranch Golf Club and south of the W.L. Gore campus on Kiltie Lane. The property is known as The Wedge due to the triangular shape that tapers at the south end of the property.
The subdivision will create 47 single-family residential lots within the Rural Residential (RR) Zone. The RR zone allows a gross density of one unit per acre where a public water supply and public streets are available to serve the property. The proposed lot sizes vary from .38 acres to .77 acres with an average of approximately .48 acres. In order to approve lots less than one acre in size, this application is using the Planned Residential Development option permitted in the RR zone. Then utilizing the Single Family Estate building type conforming to the T3 Neighborhood 2 (T3N.2) transect zone development standards.
