Review Preliminary Concept Plan for Parcel 46 (COR): Case of Centra Homes

The purpose of this case is to review development concept plan and re-affirm the vision of Parcel 46.

Staff has received a concept plan from Centra Homes. The Developer is interested in purchasing a significant portion of this parcel and developing it residentially.  The Developer is asking for initial feedback on the plan and the proposed use of the site. 

N/A

The preliminary concept plan proposed by the developer that includes 100% residential development does not appear to be consistent with previous vision for Parcel 46.  Both the EDA and Planning Commission have shown some past support for a balance of residential, retail and mixed use.  The attached concept plan with retail and mixed-use markups is consistent with what the EDA and Planning Commission have previously supported.  Staff is asking the EDA for preliminary comments and to review the vision for Parcel 46.

Alternatives:
1) Support new vision and preliminary concept plan with 100% residential development and provide general comments
2) Re-affirm previous vision and to provide feedback to the developer asking for a portion of the site be guided for retail and to provide a revised concept plan
3) Something else

This is project is being managed under normal staff duties.

Staff recommends re-affirming previous vision and to provide feedback to the developer asking for a portion of the site be guided for retail and to provide a revised concept plan.
