Date Application Received: 10/22/2025 Date Application Considered as Complete: 01/05/2026 120-Day Review Period Expires: 05/05/2026 To: Chair Ressler and Planning Commission Members Adam Edwards, City Administrator From: Matthew Karney, Planner Date: 20 January 2026 Subject: LA25-000050, Price Homes, 2420 Fox Street Subdivision/Preliminary Plat: “Fox Hill” - Public Hearing Background The applicant requests approval of a preliminary plat for a two-lot subdivision, with a front lot (Lot 2) and back lot (Lot 1) configuration, as well as an outlot for shared access. The property is approximately 8.42 acres in size, and is located north of Fox Street, and west of Willow Drive. The existing condition of the site is wooded on the southern portion and containing wetlands on the northern portion, with an existing residence and two (2) accessory buildings in the southern portion. The applicant is pursuing the redevelopment of the site following approval of the final plat, with a new residential homesite planned on each lot. Comprehensive Plan Conformance The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject property as Rural Residential, which allows for one (1) unit per two (2) acres. The preliminary plat proposal will create two (2) lots on 5.94 dry-buildable acres (8.42 acres total), including an approximately half-acre outlot for access. The net density of the site with subdivision approval would be roughly 0.37 units per acre. The lots are located with respect to the wetlands on the north end of the property, and both lots have septic designs to accommodate residential use. The parcel is outside of the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA), requiring septic for the new lots. Staff finds the proposal generally conforms with the Comprehensive Plan as it pertains to the General Land Use Plan. Zoning Conformance The property is zoned RR-1B – Rural Residential One-Family, with a minimum lot size of two (2) acres per lot and a minimum lot width of 200 feet. Both proposed lots conform to the RR-1B zoning standards. At the time each lot is developed, new homes must meet zoning standards, including setbacks and height. As the property is not located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and is ineligible for sewer access, primary and alternate septic sites have been proposed for each lot. The width of the property on Fox Street is 379 feet, and is not wide enough to create two conforming lots with 200 feet in width along Fox Street. A front/back lot subdivision is proposed – the front/back lot standards (Section 6.20.1060) require the back lot to meet 150% of the underlying zoning standards, specifically setbacks and lot area. The proposal complies with the supplementary standards for a front/back lot subdivision. Application Summary: The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to create a two-lot subdivision. The following is proposed: 1. Lot 1: Back Lot, 4.98 total acres; 2.69 dry-buildable acres. 2. Lot 2: Front Lot, 2.94 total acres; 2.76 dry-buildable acres. 3. Outlot: A 0.49-acre outlot for access. Staff Recommendation: Planning Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with conditions. 15
