13.
Open Space: MCC 12-13-16 requires all multi-family developments to provide
common open space that equals or exceeds ten percent (10%) of the gross land area. Rock Creek
is 7.48 acres in size, which requires 32,583 sq. ft. of open space, exclusive of the Pine Ave street
buffer and the Nine Mile Drain channel. The Applicant has provided open space calculations.
Commercial Parking: MCC 11-13-5.B. requires at least one parking stall per 200
sq. ft. of retail floor area. Both commercial lots propose 3,040 sq. ft. of floor area. Lots 2 and 3
show a total of 18 stalls, which would not be adequate for retail use (which would require 30
stalls for retail).
Residential Parking: The Site Plan shows enough parking to accommodate the
required number of multi-family residential parking (2 stalls per unit required).
Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required by
ordinance, the Applicant has asked, through the Planned Development, to modifY specific
development standards.
It is found that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses and all
yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by ordinance and/or by
modifYing the requirements through the planned development process.
14.
It is found that the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the
subject property as "High Density Residential." The purpose of this designation is "to allow for the
development of multi-family homes in areas where urban services are provided - developments
might include duplexes, apartment buildings, townhouses, and other multi-unit structures." (See
Chapter VII, pg. 95.) The requested R-15 zoning generally confonns to this stated purpose and intent

GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

of the High Density designation.
The Comprehensive Plan policies which support the proposed development are as
follows:
1.3 Community Design Policies - Open Spaces;
1.4 Land Use Residential Policies for new development;
1.5U Balance of Land uses;
1.6 Housing Benefits;
1.7 Sewer;
2.2U Neighborhood Parks; and
2.3U Property Values
15.
It is found that the general design, construction, operation, and maintenance should be
compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the area.
16.
It is not anticipated that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on the
surrounding property.
17.
Sanitary sewer and water service is proposed for the subdivision and can be
provided via extensions to the site from the existing main lines in W. Pine A venue and along the
Nine Mile Creek. On February 27,2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held
with representatives of key service providers to this property. ACHD staff has approved this
application, with site-specific conditions as well as their standard requirements.
18.
The developer will be required to finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities and
pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the site will be fire and
police services. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and
that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
19.
As this site builds out, it will produce additional traffic on nearby arterial
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 11 OF 24
roadways. According to ACHD traffic counts on Pine Avenue, east of Linder Road, there were
5,482 vehicle trips per day on 12-10-02. Pine Avenue is currently improved with 2-traffic lanes,
2-bike lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. This segment of Pine
Avenue is not included in the District's Five Year Work Program or Capital improvements Plan.
The fact is recognized that traffic and noise will increase with the development of this site.
However, it is not anticipated that the development of this site will create excessive traffic, noise,
smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
20.
ACHD staff has reviewed and approved both vehicular approaches to the site from
Pine Avenue. Review of the ACHD report for this project will provide additional infonnation.
21.
The Applicant is proposing to leave the Nine Mile Drain open abutting the site. It
is found that the Nine Mile Drain is a significant natural feature that should be protected through
standard stonnwater and run-off management practices. The applicant has indicated that the
property is outside of the flood zone of Nine-Mile Creek, with the exception of Zone "A" which
is contained in the creek channel. Staff is not aware of any other natural or scenic feature(s) of
major importance in the area that may be affected by the proposed development.
