Explanation:
The applicant is requesting approval to rezone the approximately 166-acre Emerald Hills Country Club property, located at 4100 North Hills Drive, from Country Club (CC) to Planned Development (PD). The request also includes the establishment of a master plan, variances from the building setback requirements applicable to internal and external streets and a parking modification.
The proposed project would establish a site-specific regulatory framework for the continued operation and redevelopment of the Emerald Hills Country Club property. The intent of PD zoning is to remove some of the limitations of conventional zoning, allowing applicants to customize select zoning standards to achieve a broader vision of creative and innovative land uses. This flexibility can facilitate mixed-use development, more compact site design, reduced reliance on surface parking, and the integration of open space and other site-specific amenities.
The proposed development framework includes residential (360 residential units), country club, lodging, recreational, park, open-space, and associated accessory uses, while maintaining the golf course and clubhouse as central features of the property.
