Background:
The applicant is requesting a favorable recommendation from the Plan Commission to rezone the
subject property from the existing R-1 Residence classification to PUD/Planned Unit
Development. The applicant has provided a proposed site layout and building elevations. As
referenced in the language of the PUD these represent a commitment to construct the site in the
illustrated manner (architectural materials, landscaping, etc.)
To that end the applicant has been very responsive to requests made regarding the layout of the
site including the addition of parking and the provision of future access to the area to the south.
This proposal falls on the heals of the recently approved Brownstone Homes ~ Guilford Reserve
located to the north and east of the subject parcel.
The area north of 116th Street and west of Guilford Road is planned for future commercial uses
under the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is south of and adjacent to the Lenox Trace
Condominiums development. More intense residential is viewed as compatible in this area. The
Department encourages a mix of residential and commercial uses along this segment of Guilford
Road.
