Information
INFORMATION: Adam and Omar Zinn owners of Parker Louis, LLC, have submitted a petition to rezone three contiguous parcels of land located along the north side of Homestead Road. The parcels contained a combined total of approximately 9.70 acres (422,532 square feet) of land.
The petition for rezoning seeks to amend the zoning map for the three parcels from R-20 (Residential, 20,000 square feet per dwelling unit) to R-3-CZ (Residential, 3,000 square feet per dwelling unit, Conditional) for the purpose of developing an Architecturally Integrated Subdivision (AIS) involving a combination of approximately 27 single-family and 15 multi-family homes. It is anticipated that the multi-family units would be duplexes or a combination of duplexes and triplexes.
The parcels are shown more specifically in the table below and in the attached vicinity map. (Attachment C).

Materials submitted by the applicants (Attachments E-1 through E-4) include the formal petition for change of zoning with answers to the four-part question seven addressing consistency with adopted plans, a short project narrative, an illustrative site plan as an exhibit to the rezoning, architectural renderings showing examples of the different building types, examples of raised boardwalks as an option for the proposed bike/ped facility along Homestead Road, and a statement regarding traffic. Documentation from the neighborhood information meeting is also provided.
A draft rezoning ordinance has been provided (Attachment B) and includes a list of draft conditions. It is anticipated that the conditions may be further refined during the public hearing process. The final list of conditions must be mutually agreed upon by the Town and the applicants. The Town Council must receive public comment before deciding on the rezoning request. The proposed map amendment was presented at the Joint Advisory Board meeting on May 4, 2023. Comments are provided (Attachment G).
Should the Town Council approve the rezoning, the Zinns would follow with an application for a Special Use Permit-A. The illustrative site plan provided as a condition of the rezoning would be binding, and dictate the design for the subsequent SUP-A. As noted in the conditions for the draft ordinance for the rezoning (Attachment B), certain elements of the project would be determined as part of the rezoning and other elements would be determined as part of the SUP plans which include much more detail to ensure compliance with the Land Use Ordinance. As such, certain elements of the project such as the completion of the full stormwater management design for the project are required as part of the SUP review process.
