TRANSCRIPT
Regular Agenda Item 2
Hartzell-Elkin Tract
William D Fitch Parkway and Rock Prairie Road
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The 35 acre tract
Growth Area III
“The area along Rock Prairie Road
bounded by Carter’s Creek to NE and
established neighborhoods and Spring
Creek District to west and south should
remain rural in character and be
developed with low intensity due to
service limitations (water, fire, police).
Low density estate lots are appropriate
if clustered. Suburban or neighborhood
commercial may be appropriate
adjacent to W D Fitch Pkwy and Rock
Prairie Road.” – Comprehensive Plan
Suburban Commercial, Estate, and
Natural Areas ReservedCurrent Future Land Use
Suburban Commercial: Designated for areas that include a range of uses that serve nearby
neighborhoods. Generally, these areas are located on major roads (arterials & collectors)
and are designed to be architecturally compatible with surrounding single-family uses.
*UDO Amendments to make SC zoning district more viable are being drafted*
(residential live work, assisted living and group homes, restaurants, animal care, outdoor,
self-storage, fuel sales, hotels, drive thru restaurants)
Estate: Designated for low density singly family lots that should be clustered or
developed on large lots.
Natural Areas Reserved: Land that are relatively undeveloped. Often used for open
spaces or recreational areas and intended for conservation of natural areas.
General Commercial and Natural Areas
ReservedProposed Future Land Use
General Commercial: For areas that should have a very intense level of
development activities. These areas tend to consist of major retail centers,
and serve the community at large and its visitors.
