The parcels are 3.7 and 6.8 acres, respectively, and are located at the Southeast corner of Rock Creek Drive and Lady Moon Drive. The proposal is to combine the parcels for approximately 66 lots for single family detached dwellings. The lot sizes (approximately 5,000 square feet on average), block and street patterns, housing type, and pedestrian access will be consistent with the existing neighborhood. Portions of the existing Star Dust Lane right-of-way will be vacated to accommodate the proposed street pattern. Both Parcels are zoned L-M-N which allows for a variety of residential uses. Parcel A is currently designated as "Neighborhood Center" which could be amix of at least two uses, including non-residential and residential. The proposal also includes amending the Overall Development by removing the Neighborhood Center designation from Parcel A and applying it to Parcel I, where Stargazer Observatory and the pools are located Comments: ZONING Contact: Gary Lopez. 970.416-2338, glouez(rDfcgov.com 1.
