The applicant is proposing to subdivide this 16.75-acre tract into 11 detached residential lots. Ten lots are located north of Williams Branch Creek, ranging in size from 0.216 acres to 0.258 acres. The remaining 13.5 acres are in lot 11. The property was rezoned from A (Agricultural) to PR(k) up to 3.5 du/ac in August 2023 (6-H-23-RZ), subject to the condition that the portion of the parcel with slopes of 25 percent or greater shall be left undisturbed, as delineated in the slope analysis map.

NOTE: According to the parcel map, the calculated acreage of the property is 13.5 acres. However, according to the deed, the acreage is 16.54 acres, and the concept plan states the acreage is 16.75 acres. Regardless of the actual acreage, the proposed density of 0.67 du/ac based on the concept plan acreage (16.75 acres) is well below the maximum allowed of 3.5 du/ac.
