The property is currently zoned RUT, and the applicants bave requested that the property be rezoned to R-8 upon annexation. The applicant's prelimin¡¡¡y. plat approval request is for 136 residential building lots and 13 common lots. The common lots include two parks. The proposed residential lots range in size AZ-O4-O14 Sienna CreekAZ.PP.CUP.doc PP-04-O19 Mayor & City Council Hearing Date: July 6, 2004 Page 2 ITom 3,910 square feet to 11,600 square feet.

The gross density of the proposed subdivision is 4.53 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting approval of a block which will exceed the maximum block length of 1,000'. It is not possible for the applicant to stub to the property to the west (and reduce the length of the block) due to the location of the school directly west of the subject property. The proposed micropath along the southern side of the subject property does, however, break up the block length. Staff supports this request by the applicant to exceed the maximum block length. The block length along the southern edge of the subject property also exceeds 1000' in length. Staff does not support this request to exceed the maximum block length of 1,000'. A second stub street should be constructed along the southern boundary of the subject property to improve connectivity between the proposed subdivision and the properties to the south. The Planned Development application includes requests to allow reduced development standards including reduced lot sizes, reduced ITontages, and a request to exceed the maximum block length of 1000'.
