BACKGROUND:
On July 29, 2014, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for The Hollymead Town Center, Blocks VI
and IV, Area C rezoning request. The Commission, by a vote of 6:0, recommended approval of ZMA201300004
provided technical revisions are made to the application plan, code of development and proffers, as
recommended by staff, and with the following additional recommended amendment to the application plan:
Eliminate five (5) lots (17 through 21) in order to accomplish a more effective open space system and to
unpack what would be an otherwise crowded and congested development. Working with the county
engineer further, it is possible to have the alternate circulation and regain two (2) of those lots.
DISCUSSION:
In response to the Planning Commission recommendation, the applicant has provided the following:
Application Plan
The applicant has eliminated three (3) of the five (5) lots recommended for elimination by the Planning
Commission. Lots 16 and 17 on the proposed plan were not eliminated as recommended by the Planning
Commission. As a result, the proposed open space system shown on the proposed application plan is not
consistent with the Commission's recommendation. The application plan would need to be amended prior
to approval of this ZMA request, should the Board agree with the Commission's recommendation regarding
the open area. All other outstanding issues with the application plan have been addressed. (See
Attachment A)
Code of Development (COD)
Table A in the COD has been revised and all other outstanding technical issues have been addressed.
(See Attachment B)
Proffers
The proffers have been revised to address all outstanding technical issues, and found to be acceptable by
ZMA 201300004

the County Attorney and planning staff (See Attachment C).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Planning Commission's recommendation to enlarge the open space area by eliminating five lots has not
been fully addressed on the proposed application plan; therefore, staff cannot recommend approval of this
request. Please note that all other outstanding technical issues from the Planning Commission
recommendation have been addressed. Should the Board want to approve this re- zoning as proposed by the
applicant, the application plan, code of development and proffers are technically and legally acceptable.
