Project Summary

The Chason Woods Subdivision application proposes a 498 lot single-family residential subdivision (public) utilizing the conservation subdivision provision of Section 10-7.204 of the Leon County Land Development Code (LDC).  The proposed development also includes the development of two (2) non-residential (commercial) lots within the subdivision.  The proposed development is located in the Urban Fringe (UF) zoning district, is designated UF on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan, and is located outside the Urban Service Area (USA).  The parcel in which the proposed development is located consists of approximately 697.1 acres. 

The application proposes to develop the site as a conservation subdivision, defined in Section 10-7.204 of the LDC as development designed to encourage environmental resource protection and restoration by permanently setting aside preservation features.  In addition, conservation subdivisions shall allow for a diversity of lot sizes, housing choices, and building densities. 

In keeping with the conservation subdivision requirements, the site plan reflects placing approximately 62% of the site which contains environmentally sensitive areas in conservation easements.  Proposed residential lot sizes range from a minimum of 0.24 acres to a maximum of 1.09 acres, and the two proposed commercial lots consist of approximately 1.67 and 1.64 acres, respectively.  The application also indicates that central sanitary sewer and central potable water will be extended to the site and provided by the City of Tallahassee.

Access to the site is proposed via connections to Sunflower Road (minor collector roadway) and County Line Road (local roadway).
