ANALYSIS Staff finds the proposal to rezone the subject property from the current R1A, Single Family Residential District (1 acre minimum lot size) to R1B, Single Family Residential District (20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) appropriate at this location. The property is the location of the original single family residence that was on an approximately 90 acre tract of land. Acreage has been sold off from this site for the development of Windcastle Plat 2 and The Bluffs at Windcastle. This 1.76 acre tract will be developed with 2 lots as part of The Bluffs at Windcastle. The proposed zoning change is keeping with the R1B zoning of The Bluffs at Windcastle that surrounds the site and Windcastle Plat 2 located further west of the subject site. Additionally, Faredale Subdivision located northeast of the site is developed with 20,000 square foot lots of record in the R1A district and further east of the site across Jacobs Station Road The Trails of Jacobs Summit was developed as a PUD in the R1B district. The 2025 Master Plan recommends residential development in this area as Low Density Residential at a density of 1 to 4 units per acre. The R1B zoning designation has a density of just over 2 units per acre, which is in keeping with the 1 to 4 units per acre. RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Division Staff recommends approval of the zoning change. The density and lot areas proposed are in keeping with area developments.
