The property is zoned “Manufactured Housing up to 9 dwelling units per acres” (MH-9) and the Future Land Use is Manufactured Home High Density (MH-HD) which allows for the proposed land uses and improvements and is compatible and consistent with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan.
Site Improvements
The project area is approximately 3.43 acres of which approximately 1.50 acres is proposed to be impervious surface area with the other 1.93 acres remaining as open space/pervious area.

The total pool area capacity between the pool and pool can reach up to 945 occupants.
Other improvements include the construction of a proposed 10-foot cart path that will connect the westerly parking area to the easterly parking lot.
