SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL AREA PLAN FOR THE
NORTH VISTA HIGHLANDS, FILING NO. 9
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Area Plan for 19.52-acres to facilitate
the development of 136 townhomes and future multifamily residential lots.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The applicant is concurrently requesting to vacate a portion of a drainage easement (V-
23-11) located in Lot 1, Block 2, North Vista, Highlands, Filing No. 2 and is also
requesting to subdivide 19.52-acres, (S-23-11) into 136 townhome lots and two
multifamily residential lots.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting to subdivide and establish a Special Area Plan for 19.52-
acres to facilitate the development of 136 townhomes and future multifamily residential
lots. A Special Area Plan is proposed for this subdivision to allow for the unique
development of attached townhomes on individual lots that do not meet the minimum
required lot width as prescribed by the North Vista Highlands PUD Development Guide
and private streets. Each townhome will be located on an individual lot and will have a
two-car garage that is accessed from the private street. The townhome lots will have
reduced lot widths, setbacks, and be accessed from private streets. The Subdivision
and Special Area Plan also includes two multifamily residential lots, and a park in
Planning Area 3 of the North Vista Highlands PUD. The proposed townhome
development will be accessed from El Principio Drive and Walking Stick Boulevard.
Private streets within the development will provide access to the proposed 136
townhome lots, two multifamily lots, and all parcels within the subdivision. The
townhomes will face an internal pedestrian network located within parcels, similar to a
as typically found in a green court development. The proposed development will include
one small private park (36,388 sq. ft.) located directly adjacent to the neighborhood
park dedicated in North Vista Highlands, Filing No. 5. Two guest parking areas, parcels
for drainage, detention, and landscaping are also included in the subdivision and
special area plan.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 10, 2023 Regular Meeting, voted 7-
0 to recommend approval.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The Planning Department sent out Notice of the Planning and Zoning Commission
Public Hearing to all property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property.
A Public Notice poster was placed on the subject property 15 days prior to the Public
Hearing.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, a Special Area Plan will not be
created.
Upon request of City Council, the Ordinance could be returned to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for consideration of proposed modifications.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
