CTR General Plan Amendment

The applicant is requesting review and recommendation to amend the General Plan land use designation of this approximately 13-acre property from VLDRA (Very Low Density Residential Agriculture) to VLDR (Very Low Density Residential). You can see a copy of the proposed plan in the "Documents" section on the right hand side of this page.

The current General Plan land use designation of VLDRA would allow an overall neighborhood density up to 1.75 units per acre. The applicant requests the amendment to VLDR, which would allow an overall neighborhood density of up to 2.5 units per acre.

The applicant’s narrative states that the proposed amendment is desired because they believe that a subdivision development project is only viable if the density is increased to 2.5 units per acre. The change in the General Plan would facilitate the creation of a subdivision with slightly smaller, but new large lot homes that are more affordable than what could be developed in VLDRA. The change would result in a maximum total of about 32 lots, approximately 19 new lots over what would be allowed in the existing A-1 zone. If the applicant just rezoned the property to R-1-22 as allowed by the VLDRA designation, the proposed increase in lots would be smaller with 9 new lots.
