Municipal Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting
The primary discussion involved a public hearing for the presentation of "The Villages at Campobello," a proposed 65-unit housing development by Allegany County and D.R. Horton, located in the R-U Zone on the former Allegany High School site. The plan includes 35 townhomes, 21 single-family detached homes, and 9 villas. Key discussions covered infrastructure responsibility (Allegany County), location of green space (approximately 1.5 acres southwest of the cul-de-sac), initial construction lots (7 lots), target pricing for the units (townhomes in the high $100,000s, detached homes between $235,000-$260,000), and utility provisions. The motion to approve Site Plan Review SPR25-000003 passed unanimously. Citizen comments addressed warranties (D.R. Horton offers a 10-year structural warranty), rental restrictions (HOA covenants require owner occupancy), and HOA control transitioning from the County to residents upon 80% occupancy. The project timeline stipulates D.R. Horton has one year to complete the project.
