Regular Agenda Item 2

Hartzell-Elkin Tract

William D Fitch Parkway and Rock Prairie Road

Comprehensive Plan Amendment

The 35 acre tract

Growth Area III

“The area along Rock Prairie Road

bounded by Carter’s Creek to NE and

established neighborhoods and Spring

Creek District to west and south should

remain rural in character and be

developed with low intensity due to

service limitations (water, fire, police).

Low density estate lots are appropriate

if clustered. Suburban or neighborhood

commercial may be appropriate

adjacent to W D Fitch Pkwy and Rock

Prairie Road.” – Comprehensive Plan

Suburban Commercial, Estate, and

Natural Areas ReservedCurrent Future Land Use

Suburban Commercial: Designated for areas that include a range of uses that serve nearby

neighborhoods. Generally, these areas are located on major roads (arterials & collectors)

and are designed to be architecturally compatible with surrounding single-family uses.

*UDO Amendments to make SC zoning district more viable are being drafted*

(residential live work, assisted living and group homes, restaurants, animal care, outdoor,

self-storage, fuel sales, hotels, drive thru restaurants)

Estate: Designated for low density singly family lots that should be clustered or

developed on large lots.

Natural Areas Reserved: Land that are relatively undeveloped. Often used for open

spaces or recreational areas and intended for conservation of natural areas.

General Commercial and Natural Areas

ReservedProposed Future Land Use

General Commercial: For areas that should have a very intense level of

development activities. These areas tend to consist of major retail centers,

and serve the community at large and its visitors.
