Davidson Bay Phase 2 Master Plan Amendment Update

Planning Director Jason Burdette and Economic Development Manager Kim Fleming
Summary: Hopper Communities’ original proposal from January 2019 depicted 56 townhomes and +/-10,400sf or retail/office. This reduction of residential units and retail/commercial square footage falls outside the administrative approval thresholds based upon original approval numbers: 280 residential units; +/-51,200 sf mixed use. The Board of Commissioners and staff provided feedback. Staff was directed to work with the developer and bring something back to a future work session.

Hopper Communities’ revised March submittal includes 56 townhomes, but it also increases the commercial square footage to +/-20,400 sf and includes two quadplex (8 units) buildings. There are also discussions underway between the developer, the affordable housing program manager, and Davidson Housing Coalition (DHC) about the quadplex potential contribution to affordable housing.
