The Subdivision Committee voted to postpone consideration of the Shuck and Tucker development plan and associated rezoning request for 67 attached single-family units at 451 Charlesburg Road to allow staff and the applicant to resolve outstanding questions about master-plan alignment, open-space calculations and neighborhood concerns.

Staff told the committee the parcel falls partly within the city’s 1996 expansion-area master plan, which envisioned lower-density uses (EAR 1), while the developer requested an EAR 2 designation to support townhomes. ‘‘This is in the 1996 expansion area,’’ a staff member said, noting that the adjoining Anderson property was rezoned earlier to EAR 2 for townhomes.

Staff recommended postponement on the zoning item to give the applicant time to demonstrate how the proposal aligns with the 1996 plan and current place-builder criteria, and to provide an open-space exhibit, tree inventory, sidewalks and other required plan items. A public commenter, Scott Green, president of the Still Meadow Homeowners Association, urged a postponement to November to allow residents time to organize and understand impacts; staff confirmed they would also be seeking additional information on how the proposal fits the expansion-area master plan.

Applicant representative Rory Kaley said the project team is scheduling meetings with planning staff to address access points, unit orientation, pedestrian connections and statistics for the expansion-area overlays. The applicant indicated the townhomes would be sold as owner-occupied units rather than held by a single entity, and said the plan will include sidewalks to Charlesburg and will coordinate forthcoming trail connections to Jacobson Park.

Given those outstanding technical and policy issues, a committee member moved to postpone MJDP 2556 (Shuck & Tucker). The motion passed unanimously. Staff advised the applicant to meet with planning staff to resolve the listed requirements and return with revised plans and required exhibits, including an open-space exhibit and documentation showing compliance with expansion-area requirements.
