Summary

The council approved a developer request to amend the plan development agreement for Villas on Main and Park Meadows, reducing minimum home sizes in eastern and middle sections, changing a planned rental area to for-sale homes, and adjusting roof pitch in one section; the Planning & Zoning Commission had unanimously recommended approval.

The City of White House City Council on July 22 approved an ordinance amending the plan development agreement for the Villas on Main and portions of the Park Meadows subdivision.

City staff said Canaan Lane Development received initial approval in 2022 and requested changes after a 2023 revised layout produced a net gain of two lots. The current application requested two major amendments: in the eastern section, lowering the minimum home size from 1,400 to 1,000 square feet and changing units planned as rental homes into for-sale homes; in the middle section, reducing the minimum home size from 1,600 to 1,400 square feet and changing the roof pitch from 8:12 to 6:12 to match other sections. Because the changes are major amendments, the application followed the same notice and hearing procedures as the original approval; the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval at its July meeting.

Brett Carnaway, representing the developer, told council market conditions have changed and the developer seeks smaller, more varied product types in the eastern section and consistent rooflines in the middle section; he said a single HOA will manage the entire neighborhood and a professional third party will perform HOA management. No public speakers opposed the request during the council public hearing, and staff reported there had been public comment at the Planning & Zoning meeting on unrelated matters only.

A council member moved approval and the ordinance carried by voice vote. Staff noted related updated exhibits and ordinances are included in the packet for reference.
