Staff Recommendation

ADOPT the Southwest County Sector Plan Update

---

The Southwest County Sector Plan was postponed at the August MPC meeting to give staff the opportunity to review changes proposed by the Seven Oaks subdivision homeowners association, represented by Wayne A. Kline. The properties in question included a strip of frontage lots along Kingston Pike at the entrance to Seven Oaks East and Seven Oaks West, and the Sherrill property, which borders Seven Oaks East. Concerns about the Sherrill property were resolved by adding some additional text to the sector plan.

After meeting with the neighborhood, including frontage property owners, most requested that they be able to see what developed on the Sherrill property before pursing changes to the sector plan. This resulted in the September staff recommendation of ?no change? to the sector plan, which shows the area as medium density residential (MDR is consistent with the parcels? RB zoning). However, after additional discussion, the owners of property fronting Kingston Pike preferred the original staff recommendation of MDR/Office. Owners of those parcels requested postponement at the September MPC meeting. Door-to-door discussions and polling indicate that several neighbors express a preference for office uses, if the current land use was to change. The sector plan now shows the properties fronting along Kingston Pike as MDR/Office, to reflect the existing zoning that is present and to encourage office as a compatible option for the property owners along Kingston Pike.

Part of the controversy centers around deed restrictions that limit all properties within the subdivision to single family detached residential units, and the neighborhood?s desire to protect these deed restrictions and to continue having low density residential along Kingston Pike.
