Section 6. CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND RELATED REQUIREMENTS.
6.A. CONCEPTUAL PLAN.
A conceptual plan (Exhibit B) for PUD 33, 401 Durkee Road Subdivision Development
was prepared for submission to the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission for
consideration in the regular meeting on January 18, 2022. The conceptual plan consists
of a site plan for the overall development however additional drawings, documents, and
permits routinely required for a subdivision are expected for review and approval prior to
construction. All development within PUD 33 must be generally consistent with this
Conceptual Plan with regard to development standards and general layout unless
subsequently modified by agreement of the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission.
Plats for any multi-family residential units must be reviewed by the Planning
Commission however any modification may not increase the total number of dwelling
units beyond 315 units without a revision to the PUD ordinance approved by the City
Council. Additional plans, plats, and other development-related documents and permits
will be necessary to carry out the construction of this project. It is recognized that the
plats and site plans for the 401 Durkee Road Subdivision development may ultimately
reflect some alteration in the conceptual plan such as the exact location of each specific
residential development typology within the residential areas. Other variations may
include the width or alignment of streets, or the precise placement of buildings, but
these will be generally consistent with the conceptual plan, mutually consistent with one
another, and not violate any features of this ordinance as these relate to adjoining
properties and infrastructure (e.g. external intersection locations and traffic
improvements, buffers with external properties, etc.).
All streets within the PUD 33 401 Durkee Road Subdivision development shall be
constructed with adequate ROW to accommodate the installation of sidewalks which
shall be installed at the expense of the developer.
6.B. PLATS.
One or more plats will be prepared for the PUD 33 property by the Developer for
approval in accordance with the City of Cleveland, Tennessee subdivision regulations.
These plats will describe and dedicate public streets any other public properties; identify
lots; and identify easements that are necessary for various purposes within the
development such as utilities, access, maintenance, and conservation, etc. These plats
shall be consistent in general layout with the conceptual site plan. The City and the
developer shall consider exact street designs and locations which facilitate slower traffic
speeds which shall be approved during the platting process.
6.C. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS.
The Developer shall prepare and implement such master covenants, restrictions,
condominium association documents, common area agreements, and the like which the
Developer determines are necessary to carry out the development of PUD 33 as
envisioned herein. It is a requirement of this ordinance that such documents are in place
and enforced by the Developer (or Developer’s heirs, successors, or assigns) to the
extent necessary for PUD 33 to function as described herein. The City of Cleveland
assumes no responsibility to review these documents, or to determine their adequacy to
these purposes, or to enforce any of their provisions, or to otherwise be a party to them.
Section 7. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The development standards for PUD 33 shall be those established in this ordinance or
incorporated herein. Where development standards are not otherwise included in this
ordinance, the standards shall be those in the R2 zone, from the City of Cleveland’s
zoning regulations.
For single family residential units of identical elevation types must be separated by at
least two different elevations on the same side of the street. This will result in at least
three different elevation plans per cluster. No two adjacent single family residential

Mayor Brooks stated Councilman Webb requested the next item to be on the agenda.
Discussion of timelines and implementation of the Paul Huff Parkway intersection projects. He
has submitted the following statement since he was unable to attend today, which Mayor Brooks
read aloud.
Mayor Brooks and Fellow Cleveland City Council Members:
Several months ago, we discussed upwards of 10 projects designed to alleviate safety and
congestion concerns on Paul Huff Parkway. All of the projects hold potential to address many
of the concerns we all hear about Paul Huff. I remember we discussed having these projects
done in two years from that time. Some of them are in various stages of completion. I recall us
making that commitment to the public.
Recognizing we have delays with materials and other issues related to Covid, I am asking
Manager Fivas and his staff to provide us at the next meeting with a timeline of the design,
funding and completion status of each of these projects. I trust we are still anticipating their
completion on the previously announced timeline and would like to get an update to that
commitment.
Councilman Hughes moved to accept Councilman Webb’s request. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Cassada; and upon roll call, unanimously passed.
Councilman May moved to issue a new Certificate of Compliance to Elxr Wine &
Spirits, LLC due to change in the ownership interest of members. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Cassada. Councilman Estes asked if staff would review the city ordinance to
compare and know where state law supersedes [concerning moving existing locations]. Upon
roll call, Councilman May, Councilman Cassada, Councilman Hughes, Councilwoman
McKenzie and Vice Mayor Johnson voted aye. Councilman Estes voted no. The motion carries
5:1.
