SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Board of Trustees previously considered the requests on August 24, 2021. The Board continued on this matter until September 14, 2021 to allow the applicant to consider changes to the PUD Amendment. No changes have been made to the rezoning request.

The Estate Residential (ER) zoned area north of the railroad tracks, will remain unchanged and will be maintained as private open space per the PUD. The proposed rezoning affects only Village 1, and would rezone a portion of the property from Suburban Residential (SR) which has a density range of up to 3 dwelling units per acre to Low-Density Residential (LR) which has a density range of 3 to 5 dwelling units per acre.
