Rezoning proposal sparks debate over future parkland development
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the proposed rezoning of the Oliver property, a 15.94-acre tract located near the future Olive Farm Park. The plan includes the development of a maximum of 47 single-family detached units, transitioning from R-40 zoning to low-density residential conditional zoning.

The property is partially situated within an indoor facility search area as outlined in the town's master plan. However, due to its size and proximity to the future park, officials do not recommend establishing an indoor facility at this site.

The rezoning process will require approval from the Town Council before any subdivision plans can be submitted to the Technical Review Committee. The current fee for a single-family detached residential unit is set at $4,165.28, but this rate is expected to be adjusted by the time the subdivision plan is reviewed, likely in 2025.

During the meeting, the board unanimously supported the staff's recommendation for a fee in lieu of the indoor facility, acknowledging that such conditional zoning projects are typically not presented to them due to their smaller scale. The motion to accept the recommendation was carried without opposition, marking a significant step in the development process for the Oliver property.
