Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2024-217 - Rezoning from R-1 to RP-1 and RP-3 and Preliminary Development Plan - The Townhomes of Chapel Ridge, 4060 NE Ralph Powell Road; Engineering Solutions, LLC, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to rezone 3.29 acres from R-1 to RP-1 and RP-3 to allow for the creation of seven (7) single-family residential villa lots and two (2) two-unit townhome lots in an area that is flanked by single-family estate lots to the west (The Estates of Chapel Ridge) and 3- and 4-unit townhome lots to the east (The Townhomes of Chapel Ridge). The subject application represents an amendment to the previously approved preliminary development plan from 2006 for the redevelopment of the former Chapel Ridge Golf Course. The 2006 plan shows the subject 3.29 acres as the site of single-family estate lots as part of The Estates of Chapel Ridge. With this application, the applicant proposes a rezoning in order to increase the residential density of the subject area with the aforementioned seven (7) single-family residential villas and two (2) two-unit townhomes. The previous plan for the subject 3.29-acre property showed nine (9) single-family estates lots for said area. With this proposed plan, the number of total dwelling units on the subject property increases from 9 to 11.
From an architectural perspective, the proposed buildings are 1-story structures of an architectural style and material palette to match existing area development. Materials include masonry fronts, stucco on all elevations, and concrete tile roofs.
