LDC 2.21.1.A - Applicability CODE states (1) Collectively, all existing and proposed impervious ground coverage equals or exceeds 35 percent of the gross site area or 9,000 square feet. APPLICANT We request a Waiver from a Major Site Plan to process Cherrywood Park Amenities (Project no. MinorSite-000505-2026 currently in Civic Access) as a minor site plan. The project was initially submitted in civic access as a minor site plan but, due to re-design to address staff comments the amenity center improvements have increased to 14,477sf and now exceeds the 9,000sf threshold. Project is a modification to the 2024 approved Cherrywood Phase 1 Improvement Plans with all amenity improvements internal to the platted tract. Existing drainage facilities have sufficient capacity above the design storm stage to handle proposed impervious areas (416,214 CF available vs 9,800 CF required).
