Zoning Change and Development Plan for Cotswold (fka Estancia)
PROJECT:
REQUEST: 579 Kimball LLC is requesting approval of a zoning change and development plan for
Cotswold Valley Estates which is a residential development zoned “R-PUD” residential
planned unit development and is currently under construction. The purpose of this
request is to change the perimeter wall and entry feature plans. The original
subdivision name and marketing was proposed under the name of Estancia. The wall
and entry feature plans proposed plaster, ceramic and terracotta tile as the primary
masonry materials to follow the Spanish theme inspired by the name. The name was
changed to Cotswold Valley shortly after construction began which follows an English
influence. The proposed plan changes the plaster and tile Spanish style architecture
to a an old English type stacked stone. No other changes are proposed. This
development shall remain subject to the current R-PUD zoning uses and regulations
unless otherwise specifically approved by the City Council. Due to the limited scope of
this request, there is no review summary. Exhibits showing the location and new
design are included from the link to plans and support information below.
