Development -39 (PD -39) in accordance with property ownership. (Z18-0001) (AG)
Planning Manager Alex Glushko presented this item before the Town Council. The
proposed rezoning being requested is intended to be administrative in nature only, with

ownership, while accurately allocating the existing entitlements (i.e. number and size of
residential lots) in a manner that replicates the entitlements, as they currently exist. The
proposed amendments are not intended to alter the existing development standards.
Dividing the existing zoning into individual PDs that correspond to current ownership will
more easily allow an individual property owner to develop and/or rezone their property
without involving other property owners.
Aaron Richards of the Richland Group, representing one of the developers, spoke in
support of the proposed rezoning.
The Town Council directed staff to proceed with the proposed rezoning. An ordinance will
be brought forward at a future meeting for Council consideration. No further action was
taken.
