820 plus or minus acres [also known as the Red Mountain Ranch Development Master Plan (DMP), which is now referred to as a Planned Area Development (PAD)] (District 5)
Consider an appeal of a Zoning Administrator interpretation regarding the method of processing a request to develop a single residence subdivision in the location of the driving range for the Red Mountain Ranch Golf Course.
The Zoning Administrator’s interpretation is that the request must be processed as a major modification to the Red Mountain Ranch Development Master Plan’s ‘-PAD’ overlay zoning district, as it is considered a significant change that requires the modification or removal of a condition of the zoning.
The applicant is appealing this interpretation.
