Bowmore at Top Shelf Subdivision

Description

The final phase of Top Shelf would create 44 lots on 16 acres, from about 12,000 to 14,000 square feet each. The Planning Commission backed it 3-2 with a single-family-only condition; staff prefers a density cap that fits the R-3 zoning.

Impact summary

Adds up to 44 homes with new road and utility infrastructure dedicated to the city — and a zoning debate over whether duplexes or triplexes should be allowed.
