SUB 2026-2206: Emerald Mountain Development Block C Phase II
(Preliminary Plat)
Request: Preliminary plat approval to subdivide about 12.5 acres of vacant
land into 15 single-family residential lots.
Location: Undeveloped land off Oz Circle, between 112 and 120 Oz Circle
(Parcel ID 1849-00-78-7330, Avery County). The subdivision area is a small
part of a roughly 207.8-acre parcel owned by the applicant, most of which lies
outside Town limits. The Land of Oz theme park is on the same parent parcel
but is not affected.
Summary: The property is zoned R-3A High-Density Multi-Family Residential,
which allows single-family homes by right. The proposed density of 1.2 units
per acre is far below the district maximum and matches the neighboring single-
family homes of Block C Phase I to the east. All lots meet the 15,000 sq. ft.
