The Applicant is seeking a rezoning of the Subject Property from GC (General Commercial) to TD along with concurrent variance from section 515.5(1)(a)(ii) to reduce the side setback from twenty-five (25) to seventeen (17) feet. The proposed townhomes will have rear-entry garages and the townhomes will face Camp Highland Road. The proposed units are consistent with the requirements of Sec. 515 Townhome Design Standards, including Sec. 515.3 Minimum Design Standards, and Sec. 515.4 Design Elements Catalogue. The proposed units are 24’ x 60’. The development will provide seven (7) guest parking spaces and mail kiosk at the rear of the proposed units. The development will include a full access drive from Argo Road. The applicant proposes to use a variety of materials for the façade for each home. Modifications to site plan and elevations in response to community input: Following the May 11, 2026, Planning & Zoning Commission meeting the applicant modified the site plan in response to community input from the public hearing. The orientation of the townhomes was modified to have a front setback along Camp Highland Road of 10 feet, and 20 feet along Argo Road, in order to maintain a 25-foot side setback between the development and the Woodland Brooke subdivision. These modifications eliminated the side setback variance from 25 ft. to 17 ft. but added two new variances: 1. Allow a front setback reduction along Camp Highland Road from 25 ft. to 10 ft. (Staff Supports) 2. Allow a front setback reduction along Argo Road from 25 ft. to 20 ft. (Staff Supports). The applicant proposes a vegetative buffer between the development and Woodland Brooke subdivision along the western and southern boundary with screening trees.
