Body
The property owners, Brian Cressman, Scott Cressman and Linda Cressman are requesting the original zoning of 174.20 acres of the property. An additional 5.51 acres, also to be rezoned, is owned by the City as right-of-way for the extension of Kenney Fort Blvd. The Cressman’s agent is Joe Daly of Norris Design and the developer is Meritage Homes, represented by Matthew Scrivener. The 174.20 acres is a portion of the 212.59 acres owned by the Cressmans. The remainder of the Cressman tract will be considered for original zoning as two separate agenda items.
This property is proposed for SF-3 (Single Family - Mixed Lot) zoning. It will have direct access from the extension of Kenney Fort Blvd. and from the extension of two local streets, Sheffield Way and Stone Manor Trail, from the Legends Village subdivision. The General Plan designates the property for residential use. The SF-3 zoning district allows for a variety of lot sizes: estate lots with a minimum of 10,000 square feet, standard lots with a minimum of 6,500 square feet and small lots with a minimum of 5,000 square feet. With specific exceptions, the district requires that at least 40% of the lots are estate lots, 30% of the lots must be standard lots and no more than 30% of the lots can be small lots. To vary from this prescribed lot mix, the roadway connectivity index must be measured as 1.4 or greater and special design features must be included in the development. The exterior wall finish for all homes shall be a minimum 75% stone, simulated stone, brick, or stucco. No more than 50% shall be stucco. Up to 25% of the exterior wall finish may be fiber cement siding (excluding flat, unarticulated panels). In addition, an upgraded garage door is required.
