Attachment D – Details of Request 
Details of the Request: 
The Property (Attachment B) is currently zoned Planned Area Development (PAD) 
under the Fulton Homes at Ballpark Village 1st Amended PAD, approved by the City in 
2023 with ordinance 2023-1567. The applicant requests an amendment to the PAD 
(Attachment A, Exhibit C) to modify the existing four (4) Land Use Districts, associated 
lot sizes, and housing product options. 
 
1. Elimination of R35 Alley Loaded Product 
The applicant proposes to remove the R35 Land Use District and the alley‑loaded lot and 
home product. With this removal, the 2nd Amended PAD would include three (3) total 
Land Use Districts. 
Applicant Justification for Land Use District Elimination 
In 2024, Fulton introduced an identical alley-loaded product in its Prasada 
community in Surprise. Over the last 12 months, only four such homes have sold. 
The intended buyer profile—young families—can no longer afford this product. 
Meanwhile, buyers who can afford these homes, such as single adults and empty 
nesters, prefer -singlestory, traditional homes rather 
than -twostory -alleyloaded- designs. 
2. Replacement of the R52 Land Use District 
The applicant proposes replacing the existing R52 District (52’ x 100’ minimum lots) with 
a new R60 District (60’ x 125’ minimum lots). 
Applicant Justification for Land Use District Replacement 
This change compensates for the loss of the R35 product and introduces a larger 
“executive” lot option. The revised lot mix provides a broader range of lot sizes 
and product types that Fulton believes are better aligned with market demand at 
this location. 
 
3. R45 and R50 Lot Dimensions 
Fulton proposes increasing the minimum lot depth in the R45 District by 10 feet. 
Applicant Justification for Increased Lot Dimensions 
The additional depth allows Fulton to introduce a 4-bedroom single-story home 
that appeals to young families who previously might have selected the 
alley-loaded product. The change also preserves options for single adults and 
empty nesters who typically prefer the R45 product. Other young families are 
expected to migrate toward the smaller floorplans in the R50 District, which 
traditionally attract more mature buyers.
