In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposed development plan that could significantly reshape the landscape of the Falcon area. The plan outlines a maximum potential of 142 single-family lots and 15 acres designated for commercial use, alongside substantial open space and stormwater facilities.

The proposal includes approximately 120 acres of five-acre residential lots and 300 acres of two-and-a-half-acre lots. Visual representations of the plan indicate a strategic layout, with commercial areas positioned at the intersection of Judge Orr Road and Elbert, which aligns with existing land use patterns in the region.

Key discussions centered around water resource management, a critical concern for the community. Officials noted that while a detailed water resource report submitted by the applicant suggests the possibility of water sufficiency in future stages, this remains a probable finding rather than a guarantee.

The zoning map presented during the meeting highlighted the relationship of the proposed development to surrounding areas, including the established Saddlehorn Ranch and Sage Creek subdivisions. The development is seen as a logical extension of existing residential patterns, with staff affirming that it aligns with the county's master plan for large lot residential areas.

As the proposal moves forward, it will undergo further scrutiny through preliminary plan and final plat applications, ensuring that community needs and environmental considerations are adequately addressed. The meeting underscored the ongoing evolution of the Falcon area, as it prepares for anticipated growth and development in the coming years.
