This request is for the removal of the condition of the concept plan approval to install a pedestrian connection between Mockingbird Meadows Drive and Hoff Lane. This was a condition of the original concept plan approval in 2017 (11-SA-17-C) and again in 2022 (6-SA-22-C) because the 2017 concept plan had expired, and the subdivision had to be reapproved.

In 2017, it was discussed whether a road connection to the stub-out of Hoff Lane should be required. It was determined that a pedestrian connection was preferable and met the intent of Section 3.04.C (Street Connectivity) of the Subdivision Regulations by connecting neighborhoods and promoting walking and biking. The Mockingbird Meadows subdivision is in the Brickey McCloud Elementary School parental responsibility zone. The Emory Estates subdivision, where Hoff Lane is located, is not within the parental responsibility zone.

Planning does not find sufficient justification to remove this condition and recommends denial of this request to preserve pedestrian connectivity in this area.
