The Centerville Planning Commission meeting on March 12 focused on the proposed commercial subdivision concept for Legacy Commons, a significant development project located at the northwest corner of Parrish Line and 1250 West. Spanning 8.55 acres and comprising two parcels, the site is currently zoned for commercial use and is poised for future development.

During the meeting, Mr. Eggert presented the details of the subdivision, emphasizing the applicant's eagerness to advance through the necessary processes. A conditional use request will be required for the subdivision of Lot 2, which is part of the applicant's broader site plan submission that will be reviewed in the future.

A public hearing was mandated for the subdivision request, and the city ensured compliance by providing notice and placing a sign on the property. Notably, the commission received a letter from the North Centreville Flex Project LLC, claiming a prescriptive easement on a portion of Lot 1, which has been utilized for parking over the past 20 years. This claim was formally acknowledged during the meeting.

The commission outlined the procedural steps ahead, clarifying that approval of the conceptual subdivision does not equate to final approval. Instead, it marks the beginning of a multi-step process that includes a preliminary review by the planning commission and a final review by the city council.

The meeting underscored the collaborative efforts of city staff, including the city engineer and public works department, who have been involved in discussions with the applicant to ensure compliance with city regulations and ordinances. As the project progresses, further deliberations and public input will be essential in shaping the future of Legacy Commons.
