EL CIDRO 9TH RESTATED PAD (WILLOW AT EL CIDRO)
Mayor Pizzillo opened the public hearing at 5:46 p.m.
Planning Manager Christian Williams presented a request to rezone approximately 583.33 acres at the southwest corner of Lower Buckeye Road and the 169th Avenue alignment. Mr. Williams explained that the proposal largely amends a 42-acre portion of the area from Low Density Residential 1 (LDR1) to new designations: Low Density Residential 5 (LDR5), Medium Density Residential Attached (MDRA), and Multi-Family Residential (MFR). He further explained that the 9th Amended El Cidro Planned Area Development (PAD), also clarifies underlying land use districts for all of El Cidro, clarifies uses for city-owned property within the PAD, and clarifies other minor items within the PAD. He added that the amendment would increase the density of Parcel 4, allowing for a mix of single-family detached, single-family attached, and multi-family housing products. He further added that the applicant requested deviations from standard development requirements, in the form of reduced setbacks and smaller lot sizes, offset by added amenity elements, connectivity elements, streetscape elements, and increased open space, including buffers for nearby county residences. Mr. Williams stated that minimum park sizes and trail connectivity have also been established in the PAD.
Mr. Williams stated that a neighborhood meeting was held on January 16, 2024 with approximately ten residents in attendance. He explained that concerns were raised about water usage, school capacity, the desire for more businesses, increased traffic, trail connections, and the irrigation ditch on the east side of the project. He noted that the ditch would remain untouched by this development and if modifications are needed, they would be required to work with neighboring owners. Mr. Williams concluded that stipulations regarding height and design elements for the multi-family residential product were included as part of the recommendations of approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
There being no speakers, Mayor Pizzillo closed the public hearing at 5:58 p.m.
Council discussed the location and the project's proximity to the Loop 303 and expressed support for the diverse housing options, amenities such as open space and trails, and the stipulations included by staff in the proposal.
