Background and Discussion: The subject property is located in Use Area M, Parcel M-4/Towne Centre 1 approved with the Copperleaf Preliminary Development Plan (Z13-003). The Parcel M-4/Towne Centre 1 zoning allows a wide variety of retail, commercial, and neighborhood services, most of which were brought forward in the table of uses in the site’s General Development Plan (GDP23-001), approved in the Fall of 2023. This Preliminary Plat application is running concurrently with a Specific Development Plan (SDP24-001) and Final Plat (PF24-003), and the subdivision plat will facilitate the commercial development of the site. The proposed subdivision meets all of the criteria for approval in the Land Development Code and the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval at their November 19, 2004 meeting. One member of the public spoke in favor of the proposed commercial development. At the same meeting, Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve the Specific Development Plan.
