Concord Homes wants to build more than 800 homes on 600 acres at Draper and Curran Roads.
The Zoning Board recommended rezoning 346 acres of the development to RS-2. Preliminary plans call for construction of 517 units on that site.

The board also voted against zoning 173 acres of the farm RS-1, where, according to the plan, 87 houses would be constructed.
