Increase in density
The proposed sketch plan would allow an increase in the maximum number of single-family residential dwelling units from 202 to 846, resulting in a net increase of 644 single-family residential units for Flying Horse North. The sketch plan proposes a mix in residential densities ranging from one (1) residential unit per five (5) acres, to three (3) residential units per acre. Lower density areas are proposed along the perimeter of the sketch plan area, and higher density areas are proposed in the internal portions of the sketch plan areas and near the commercial areas.
The proposed sketch plan would represent an increase in gross residential density within the entire development area from approximately one (1) residential unit per five (5) acres to approximately one (1) residential unit per 1.5 acres.
Specific development proposals, specific densities, and specific lot layouts, as well as lot sizes, will be determined with subsequent preliminary plan/PUD submittals.
Lack of sufficient water resources/strain on aquifers
Findings of sufficiency with respect to water quality, quantity, and dependability are not required with sketch plan approvals, but will need to be made with subsequent preliminary plan and/or final plat approvals for development within the sketch plan amendment area.
Opposition to proposed luxury hotel
The Board of County Commissioners has determined that the sketch plan met the intent of the Master Plan, including the proposed increase in density and the proposed mix of residential, commercial, and tourism-related uses. Specifics regarding layout, size, etc. of the hotel will be determined with subsequent preliminary plan/PUD submittals.
Noise/traffic
The master traffic impact study estimates the development will generate approximately 18,108 average daily trips. Upon assumed development build-out signalization of State Highway 83 and Stagecoach Road intersection, and at Black Forest Road and Old Stagecoach Road intersection may be warranted. Said intersections should be monitored as development progresses to determine when or if traffic signal is appropriate. Revised traffic impact studies are required at each stage in the process.
Loss of rural/quiet area homebuyers sought when building or purchasing a home
The Board of County Commissioners has determined that the sketch plan met the intent of the Master Plan, including analysis of compatibility with the Large-Lot Residential placeytype and the surrounding area. Specific development proposals, specific densities, and specific lot layouts, as well as lot sizes, will be determined with subsequent preliminary plan/PUD submittals.
