Background and Discussion:
The proposed Final Development Plan complies with the underlying MU-PUD, Use Area M, Parcel M-2/Towne Centre 2 zoning. This zoning was approved with the original Z04-004 Copperleaf Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) which was approved by the BOCC on November 16, 2004, and most recently amended with PDP Amendment AA21-008 which authorized unallocated residential density from the west side of Copperleaf Boulevard to be transferred to the east side of Copperleaf Boulevard. The Copperleaf PDP memorialized an option to shift a limited number of residential units approved for locations outside use area M4 east of Copperleaf Boulevard into use area M4. The PDP also preapproved a process by which this shift may be processed administratively within stated limits.
The Planning Commission considered this application at a public hearing on July 19, 2022 and voted 4-2 to recommend approval. Commissioner Rieck expressed concerns about impacts to the existing residents and Commissioner Miller did not indicate why he voted no. There were three members of the public present, two of whom spoke. All three were opposed and those who spoke expressed concerns about school capacity and safety, and southern setback and screening for single family homes to the south.
