Application filed. CM Beulah LLC submitted the Special Exception application and Statement of Justification requesting approval for 86 age-restricted townhome units on the 10.9-acre site.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment nominated. CPN-2025-IV-FR-031 submitted to amend planned density from 1–2 du/ac to up to 8 du/ac. The county published an analysis summarizing density, zoning, and compatibility considerations.
County zoning interpretation. The county noted that removing the subject parcels from the existing subdivision would increase remaining density to 1.77 du/ac, further aggravating nonconformity with R-1 zoning.
