Applications PL-17-0236 and PL-17-0237: Concurrent requests by Ms. Carolyn Oberholtzer, Bergin, Frakes, Smalley, and Oberholtzer, PLLC, for a General Plan Amendment and Major Planned Area Development (PAD) Amendment related to the proposed 310 gross acre Hillcrest development located north and south of Broadway Road, west of 107th Avenue.
The proposed General Plan Amendment, if approved, will amend the City’s General Plan 2030 Land Use Map, replacing 31 acres of Estate Low Density Residential, 9 acres of Education, and 9 acres of Open Space, with 49 acres of Medium Density Residential (MDR). The requested MDR designation allows for development of single-family detached residences at a suburban density ranging between 2.5 and 4.0 dwelling units/acre. Open space and schools are permitted within the MDR designation. All land subject to the General Plan Amendment request is south of Broadway Road.
The proposed Major PAD Amendment will, if approved, modify the property’s zoning by reducing single-family residential lot sizes, modifying development standards including decreasing side setbacks, re-configuring and increasing the overall percentage of open space, re-configuring street layouts within the proposed development, and relocating a planned elementary school site to 107th Avenue. Less significant changes to the PAD are also proposed, including, but not limited to, modifications to wall designs and roadway sections. The proposed PAD Amendment applies to the entire 310-acre subject site.
