2:11

So we're requesting two separate actions.

2:30

Well, both of them for discussion, but specifically the action in front of you is just the annexation.

2:35

That's real thing separately if that's okay with the position.

2:39

Okay, any questions for um Reagan?

Discussion.

3:22

Questions.

3:24

Were these parcels part of the original Penny?

3:35

They were initially intended to be, however, at the time we couldn't quite get a hold of the two property owners with enough time to get it moving with the rest of the parcels that were already ready to go.

3:46

But the intention is always to expand it for it to become a greater size.

3:55

Can you do a site plan?

4:03

Yeah, I'm going to do the PD.

4:15

So on this one, it is, I think if you scroll back to B, it's a little bit easier in this E.

4:21

Well.

4:22

That's fine.

4:24

That one right there.

4:26

The cushion is actually on the line between the two.

4:28

It was originally our intent to have it in there, but because we couldn't get it all done at this at the time that we wanted to, we could have bring them in at the time.

4:39

No, the side plan didn't change.

4:42

It was just finally getting the owners.

4:44

It was like some errors issues and also just getting all the other stuff itemed.

4:50

Discussion Items

Berkeley Farms Road Annexation/Map Amendment (New Business a)

  • Staff presented a request to annex two parcels totaling approximately 3.41 acres at 134 and 146 Berkeley Farms Road and assign a Planned Development (PD) zoning. Commissioner Matthews asked if the parcels were part of the original PD; the applicant stated they were not but were always intended to be included. The applicant presented the site plan. The commission unanimously recommended approval (5-0).

Berkeley Farms Road and College Park Road Rezoning (New Business b)

  • Staff explained that because the two annexed parcels triggered a major modification to the existing PD, all twelve previous parcels needed to be rezoned into a new PD. No design standards, density, or uses changed. Chairperson Edwards expressed concern about insufficient guest parking in the townhouse section. Commissioner Matthews requested pedestrian connectivity between commercial and residential districts, a lighting plan along College Park Road for the commercial area, and details on stormwater pond discharge paths. Commissioner Glaze also emphasized the need for additional guest parking. The motion was made and then amended to include the commissioners' requests. The motion passed unanimously (5-0).

Liberty Hall Road Annexation/Map Amendment (New Business c)

  • Staff reported that the city had purchased the parcel (TMS# 244-05-01-056) for potential future expansion of the public works facility. The request was to annex and assign Village Node (VN) zoning. The commission recommended approval unanimously (5-0).

Matthews Lane Rezoning (New Business d)

  • The applicant, Deloris Matthews, sought to rezone approximately 1.30 acres at 120 Matthews Lane from Conservation (C) to Residential Single-Family (RSF). Staff recommended denial based on the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, though the proposed zoning would align with the current use of the property and adjacent parcels. Commissioners asked about the status of the Comprehensive Plan update and noted a similar rezoning was approved in December 2024 for insurance reasons. A motion to approve was made (Commissioner Matthews and Commissioner Glaze), but it failed 2-3, with Chairperson Edwards, Commissioner Jenkins, and Commissioner Lilly opposed.

Miscellaneous

  • Staff presented informational plat approvals, including new parcels, lot line adjustments, and easement plats. No action was taken.

Key Outcomes

  • Agenda and Minutes: Approved unanimously.
  • Berkeley Farms Annexation (Item a): Recommended approval.
  • Berkeley Farms Rezoning (Item b): Recommended approval with added conditions regarding parking, pedestrian connectivity, lighting, and stormwater.
  • Liberty Hall Annexation (Item c): Recommended approval.
  • Matthews Lane Rezoning (Item d): Motion failed (2-3). The property remains zoned Conservation.
  • Meeting adjourned at approximately 6:37 PM.
