TITLE

ABSTRACT

Action Requested:
Vote on a request by True Homes to approve for a revision to the sketch plan approval and development schedule for The Parks at Meadowview consisting of 788 lots on 948.3 acres, located of Old Graham Rd (S.R. 1520) and NC 87.

Introduction & Background:
The sketch plan for the "Meadowview" was originally approved on May 16, 2005 as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of 715 lots on 793 acres. On March 20, 2006 the PUD sketch plan was amended to reduce the number of lots from 715 to 600, to have all roadways be private, redesign the lot layout, and change the name to "The Parks at Meadowview". On May 15, 2006 the PUD sketch plan was revised to add approximately 155 acres and increase the number of dwelling units to 739. The last subdivision activity in the development was February 2014 when the Board of Commissioners approved one lot for a wastewater pump station. The Parks as Meadowview is approved as PUD under the pre-2008 Subdivision Regulations and there is no special use permit. PUDs require a special use permit; however, zoning was not adopted in this area until November 2007. If this request is approved the PUD will remain vested under the pre-2008 Subdivision Regulations.
