Levi Crossing PUD Amendment

Thanked the council and staff for working with them to downsize the PUD request to 62 acres, keep front setbacks, and add architectural standards.

Expressed alarm that imposing new standards immediately would invalidate existing home contracts in the subdivision.

Spoke on behalf of the engineering team, explaining that PUDs inherently involve give-and-take negotiations and that the plans were designed years prior to the new standards.

Expressed support for applying the newly adopted architectural and site design standards to the PUD amendment.

Representing Stylecraft Builders, asked the council to approve the setback variance without new architectural standards because existing floor plans do not comply and redesigning would cause severe delays.

Reminded council that the PUD was approved two years ago and builders need time to adapt if setbacks are approved without new architectural rules.

Stated that applying new architectural standards would restrict builder Stylecraft from offering nine floor plan options down to four.

Encouraged council to disapprove residential expansion south of Fort Hood Street to preserve commercial corridor opportunities and infrastructure.

Expressed surprise at Planning & Zoning adding new architectural standards at the last minute and asked council to approve only the setback changes.

Noted he has ten contracts on houses in Levi Crossing that do not meet the proposed new architectural standards.
