Rezoning 5480 Winchester Pike to Planned Unit Development (Z26-031)
At a glance
- What: Rezoning of 96.47 acres at 5480 Winchester Pike from Rural to PUD-4 for up to 352 single-unit homes (3.7 units per acre), with at least two playgrounds and walking paths planned.
- Where it stands: Development Commission approved 7-0 on 10/08/2026 although city staff's formal recommendation was disapproval pending a traffic impact study, right-of-way dedication, access point and county engineer review. The Greater Southeast Area Commission recommended approval.
- Open items: northwest access must align with the park entrance across Winchester Pike; planning wants homes not backing onto open space, eastern street stubs and a public-facing detention pond.
- Next: traffic study due the day after the hearing; staff report to City Council to be revised to approval if comments are resolved.
