The Master Plan
In 2015, the Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning application and master plan for Chatham Park, which created the Chatham ParkPlanned Development District (PDD). A PDD is a type of zoning district. Its development regulations are site-specific. A PDD allows the developer more design flexibility. In exchange, the developer can create a comprehensive development that produces greater public benefit.
The Chatham Park PDD is approximately 7,100 acres in area and will include:
Up to 22,000 residential units
Up to 22,000,000 sq. ft. of non-residential development
At least 1,320 acres of open space (i.e., undeveloped land)
At least 667 acres of park land (1,320 sq. ft. of park land per dwelling)
A variety of land uses, such as dwellings, parks, open space, entertainment, and commerce
The development is divided into two main sections: North Village and South Village that are split by US 64 Business.
