Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of 1.8 du/ac. (Applicant requested 3 du/ac.)
PR zoning at the recommended density is consistent with the recommended LDR sector plan designation as well as with the policies of the Growth Policy Plan, which limits the density to no more than 2 du/ac in the Rural Area. The recommended lesser density of 1.8 du/ac is based on the recommended slope protection policies for residential densities from the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan, based on the attached slope analysis of the site. Staff would recommend the maximum allowable 2 du/ac if a conservation easement is placed on an undisturbed steep hillside or ridgetop portion of a parcel, which would likely be the steepest areas of this site along its southern boundary. This density bonus provision is recommended in the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan (HRPP), stating that the planning commission may approve a density bonus of up to 10% of the total units allowed in the base density when a conservation easement is dedicated on the site.
