PP-O5-023, CUP-O5-024 Silver o.k.> Subdivision,AZ_PP_CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 2 The proposed multi-family lot consists of 25.12 acres and the office lot is 3.53 acres. The gross density of the proposed development is 12.26 dwelling units per acre (308/25.12). The proposed density is in accord with the proposed R-15 zoning district, and the Future land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan (see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "A" below). The applicant has requested reduced lot frontages and multiple buildings on a single lot as part of the Planned Development. The applicant has indicated that the multi-family units will be incorporated with a condominium plat in the future. The applicant has submitted several pictures of residential housing types; a construction materials list has not been submitted. Staff recommends the minimum lot size, frontage and building setbacks as detailed below. Street Frontage in L-O Zone: L-O Standard Frontage 50 feet Proposed Minimum Frontage 0 Building Setback in L-O Zone: Minimum Requirement 30 foot (front) (arterial street) 20 foot (front) (local street) 25 foot (rear) (arterial street) 20 foot (rear) (local street) 5 feet per story (side) B ild' S tb k' R 15 Z u lDl! e ac lD - one: Front (Living Space) 15-feet Front (Face of Garage) 20-feet Side yard S-feet Rear IS-feet Rear, side entry garage 5-feet Interior Side* 5-feet Street Side IS-feet * No additional setback per story NOTE: Front setbacks should be measured ITom the back of sidewalk. See Preliminary Plat Analysis below. The proposed PO amenities include: clubhouse with a pool, a court area, and a fitness center. Additional open space contains the pathway system and is located along the cross access lanes and the Kennedy lateral. Multiuse pathways are proposed for this site as shown on the landscape plan; these pathways provide connection from Franklin Road to the paths in the proposed Church to the east and through to the Ten-Mile AZ.OS-OI6. PP-OS-O23, cUP-OS-O24 Silv<:r Oaks_AZ,PP,CUP_doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 3 multiuse pathway system to Ten Mile Road. See Special Considerations in the Conditional Use Permit section below for a detailed analysis of the proposed amenities and the potential for the park. Recently, the City has reviewed and approved annexation/zoning and development applications for Chesterfield Subdivision north of the site and a commercial development east of the site along the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). These developments were all on the south side of UPRR and in the near vicinity. The development is serviceable through connections in Chesterfield Subdivision and will need to be extended under the UPRR at the developer's expense. If this development is approved, it shall be subject to the sewer system being available. Staff recommends approval o/the subject annexation/zoning (AZ-05-016), preliminary plat (PP- 05-023), and conditional use permit (CUP-05-024) with the conditions and modifications based herein. LOCATION The site is located on the north side of Franklin Road Xí to ~ mile west of Ten-Mile Road and through the mid block along the Kennedy Lateral to the Union Pacific Railroad in Section 10, Township 3 North, Range 1 West. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: Chesterfield Subdivision zoned R-8 (Meridian City), Union Pacific Railroad. South: Vacant/Agricultural zoned RUT (Ada County) East: Vacant/Agricultural zoned RUT (Ada County). West: Vacant/Agricultural/Single Family Residential zoned RUT (Ada County) As mentioned in the summary above, there are several developments in this area that have recently been approved by the City. Some of the new homes in Castlebrook Subdivision, just north of the current property, are already occupied along Black Cat Road. OWNER OF RECORD The property owners of record are Ten-Mile Development, LLC., Graye H. Wolfe, Sr, - Manager. The owners have provided notarized consent for Conger Management Group, to submit the subject applications. ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS Because the analysis below applies both to the proposed use and the proposed zoning, staff has combined the analysis of use with the annexation and zoning findings. According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11 General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in AZ-O5-016. PP.O5-023. CUP-O5-024 Silver Oaks_ALPP,CUP,doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 4 terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment" The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff: Á. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment; In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan Page 95, 'High density' is defined as areas including Multi-family homes at densities exceeding eight dwelling units per acre. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, R-I5, is hannonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be "High Density Residential." The 12.26 dwelling units per acre proposed with the preliminary plat are consistent with previous Commission and Council actions and generally conform to the goals, objectives, and action items contained in the Comprehensive Plan for this area. In addition, the applicant's cover letter (dated March 11,2005) lists several Comprehensive Plan policies, all of which support the annexation and proposed residential use of the property. The Limited Office lot may not comply with the goals and policies of the High Density Residential designation. The applicant has indicated that Meridian City Code allows for a use exception along arterial roads not to exceed 20% of gross area. The Commission and Council actions should take into consideration the allowance ofthe Limited Office designation lot within the appropriate commercial/mixed use policy, and not located along a commercial corridor. However. staff supports the proposed daycare use and professional office proposal as these uses will be located alonlZ an arterial road and will support the primary multi-family use by havinlZ services close to residences. thereby reducing traffic conlZestion on nearby roadways. reducine: air pollution. and creatine: an efficient use of the land. Staff finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable to this application (staff analysis is in italics below policy): . "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 4) As depicted on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, the applicant is proposing to construct a 25-foot wide landscape berm with vegetation along Franklin Road. Staff is supportive of these widths, as long as the entire buffer lies outside the ultimate right-ol-way, and the sidewalk is located outside of the 25-foot wide buffer (or increase buffer to 40-feet}. AZ-O5-016. PP-O5-023, CUP.O5.024 Silver OahAZ_PP_CUP,doc Planning & Zoning CommissionJMayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 5 . "Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, #3) This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient. The proposal as presented will create an internal system which the will ultimately connect to the regional multi-use pathway system. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on staffs analysis, public testimony received and any comments submitted from any other agencies or departments regarding whether the proposed zone and subsequent development is harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future; Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat and conditional use pennit proposing multi-family and commercial lots on the subject site (PP-05-023 & CUP-05-024). Staff does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in the future if the accompanying CUP/PD and PP applications are approved. c. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use permits; The existing proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not anticipate additional commercial or other uses other than the uses planned for the site. D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area; Staff finds that a substantial portion of the land to the north has been developed (or approved for development) in a manner harmonious to the proposed subdivision, with single-family dwelling units. Neighboring Ada County parcels are very large lots with heavy agricultural uses. This development is proposing significantly smaller lots, but within the acceptable limits for a high density development bordering a mixed use and industrial area. Black Cat Road is currently being improved and Franklin Road (east of Ten-Mile Road) is currently scheduled within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital AZ-O5-0\6. PP.OS.O23, CUP-OS.O24 Silver Oaks,AZ_PP,CUP,do< Plæ.ming & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 6 Improvements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening in 2010. Franklin Road west of Ten- Mile Road is in the planning phases but is currently not funded for construction. This entire development is not currently serviceable by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer system. The site shall be served by a connection in Chesterfield Subdivision. If this development is approved, it shall be subject to extending the sewer system. Other urban services, such as water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able to extend such services to the site in cooperation with Meridian Public Works. Staff finds that the subject site is denser than surrounding proposals but provides a housing type which has not been utilized in the immediate vicinity. The overall proposal is consistent for development in a fashion similar to other properties in the area. . E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area; The applicant has submitted several front elevations for the proposed multi-family homes and commercial offices. If the homes are constructed in substantial compliance with the submitted elevations, they will be similar in design to other uses in the area. The existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing. However, this is one of the first developments to apply for residential uses south of the Union Pacific Rail Road. This development will set the tone for how the rest of this area, particularly the west, develops or does not develop as High Density Residential. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, staff does not anticipate that the proposed zoning/uses will be physically hazardous to future or existing uses or neighbors in the area. The northern property line should be adequately fenced to not allow access to the UPRR property. The Kennedy Lateral should be adequately fenced to not allow access to the open waterway. The Kennedy Lateral should be piped as per MCC 12-4-13 or as waived by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on staff analysis, comments from other agencies, and public testimony to detennine whether the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing neighboring uses and future expected uses in this vicinity. G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide adequately any of such services; AZ-O5-016. PP-O5-023. CUP.O5.024 SilVOf Oaks_AZ_PP,C(JP,doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 7 If this development is approved, it shall be subject to extending the sewer system. Other urban services, such as water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able to extend such services to the site. Water to serve this development is existing or cUlTently under development with Chesterfield Subdivision. The applicant shall be responsible for the extension of utilities to and through this proposed development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works Department. The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities. Based on the comments received from other agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project. H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, public street infrastructure, utiIities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police, school facilities and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and this development will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of a development on this site; however, staff does not believe that the amOunt generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate that annexation and development in accordance with current city code and the Comprehensive Plan will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. Fencing along all canals and waterways shall be a minimum of 6' in height and constructed of non-combustible materials as to not interfere with regular maintenance of ditches and waterways by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District. J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; The appIicant is proposing to construct one shared public street entrance into the site from Franklin Road and a private street connection to the east with future connection to AZ.O5-016, PP.O5-023, CUP.O5-024 Silver Oaks,AZ_PP,CUI',doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 8 Ten-Mile Road. The proposed public street entrance to Franklin Road has been proposed to ACHD. ACHD has made several recommendations on the public road system for access to the development. Staff has concerns with the limited public access for the scale of the project. It is staffs opinion that a public stub street should be provided to the west for future multi-family extensions and to provide public service access to the commercial portions of the project. The public stub street shall tenninate in an approved method by ACHD. The applicant shall also provide cross access to the Avest Property located Northeast of the site. The development agreement for this site was approved by the City of Meridian and requires a secondary access for emergency service. The applicant may also extend the public street at the discretion of ACHD in order to provide the appropriate connection. If all vehicular approaches (streets) are approved and constructed in accordance with ACHD policies, staff does not believe that the subdivision will create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please review any comments from ACHD for this project for additional infonnation regarding this finding. K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance; and There are many game species in the vicinity which use the Ten-Mile and Kennedy Lateral systems for habitat. These areas will be altered through the development of the site. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed should be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed development may result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature(s) of importance of which staff is unaware. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11~17~1992)? In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that the annexation/zoning of this property, as proposed by the applicant, would be in the best interest of the City. ANEXATION & ZONING COMMENTS 1. The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped by Hugh Edwards, PLS 3/14/05) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary ofthe City of Meridian. 2. Any future subdivision, uses and construction on this property shall comply with the City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time. AZ.OS.OI6. PP-OS.O23. CUP.OS"O24 Silver Oaks,AZ_PP-CUP_doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 9 3. A Development Agreement (DA) will be required as part of an annexation of this property. Prior to the annexation ordinance approval, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian, the property owner(s) (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The applicant shall contact the Citv Attorney. Bill Nary. at 888-4433 to initiate this process. The DA shall incorporate the following: . That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water main line extension from the sewer main offsite to the property boundaries. That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non- domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. That all future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. That the applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with piping the Kennedy Lateral, unless otherwise specifically waived by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District. . . . PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In detennining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: A. B. C. D. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan; Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "An above. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "0" above. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Because the developer will be required to install sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their cost, staff finds that a development on this property will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds. The public {'mancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; The development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting services. Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments submitted from the public service providers (i.e. police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to detennine this finding. (See AZ.OS-OI6. PP-OS-O23, cUP-OS.O24 Silver Oaks_AZ_pP,CUP,doo Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16, 2005 Page 10 finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency Comments and Conditions at the end of this report for more detail.) E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Staff finds that there should not be any health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention; other than the Kennedy Lateral and Railroad separation issues previously discussed. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff finds the Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether the proposed use may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which staff are aware. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS-PRELIMINARY PLAT 1. Public Streets and Access: :¡:fie applieant is Rot proposing to eoflstruet through roads. The oonamød connection to Franklin Road will be constructed in cooperation with future projects to the east and existing projects to the north via Silver Oak Drive and Silver Oaks Circle. These roads will serve as collector streets in this area and will provide access to Franklin Roads for all parcels in this section. Staff is supportive of a broader collector street design, as it will provide access to future development across Kennedy Lateral and to the north for all parcels in this section the applicant has indicated acceptance of this design if required by the Commission and Council. Staff feels this recommendation is essential as public access to the north is impeded by the UPRR. 2. Right-of-way & Landscape Buffers: Arterial Streets: Staff recommends that the applicant comply with the ACHD's requirements for right-of-way dedication along Franklin Road. Collector Roads: Staff recommends that the applicant comply with staffs recommended public street layout. Landscaping and sidewalks adjacent to Franklin Road should be constructed in compliance with MCC 12-13-10. A 25-foot wide landscape buffer, located entirely outside of the right-of-way and not including the width of the sidewalk, should be provided along arterial roadways. A 20-foot wide landscape buffer, located entirely outside of the right-of-way and not including the width of the sidewalk, should be provided along collector roadways. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. 3. Stub Streets: The applicant is not proposing to construct stub streets to adjacent parcels. Staff is supportive of the proposed stub street location across the Kennedy Lateral at an east west location that would bisect the Proposed Lots 1 and 2. 4. Unimproved Right-of-Way: Meridian City Code 12-13-10-9 requires a 10-foot wide gravel shoulder abutting right-of-way where the unimproved portion of the right-of-way AZ-O5.016. PP.O5-023. CUP-O5-024 Silver Oaks-AZ,PP_CUP,doc 9. Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 11 is greater than 13 feet (measured from the edge of pavement to the edge of sidewalk or property line), and road widening is not in the ACHD Five Year Work Program. The remainder of the unimproved right-of-way should be landscaped with lawn or other vegetative groundcover. Franklin Road abutting this site meets the warrants for the 10- foot wide gravel shoulder requirement listed above. Therefore, the applicant should be required to construct a lO-foot wide gravel shoulder on Franklin Road, with the remaining portion of the right-of-way being landscaped with lawn or other vegetative ground cover. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. 5. Internal Streets: The applicant is proposing to construct internal cross access streets located within the proposed lots. These roadways have undefined street sections with 646 residential parking stalls and 55 commercial parking stalls located along one or both sides of the drive aisle. Staff is supportive of this design as long as the conditions of approval are met and emergency service is not impeded by the parking layout. 7. Piping of Ditches: All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the area being subdivided shall be tiled per MCC 12-4-13. Unless otherwise approved by Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association (ditch owners), with written approval or non-approval submitted to the Public Works Department. If lateral users association approval cannot be obtained, plans will be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to final plat signature. See Site Specific Condition #4 below. 8. Pressure Irriaation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant should be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-point connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system should be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with MCC 12-13-8 and MCC 9-1-28. See Site Specific Condition #5 below. Fencina: The applicant has proposed to construct fencing around the perimeter of the site. Fencing along all canals and waterways shall be a minimum of 6' in height and constructed of non-combustible materials as to not interfere with regular maintenance of ditches and waterways by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District. A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the final plat (MCC 12-4-10.F.3). If permanent fencing is not provided, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building permit. All fences should taper down to 3 feet maximum within 20 feet of all right-of-way. All fencing should be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10. See Site Specific Condition #6 below.

Sanitary Sewer The entire development is not currently serviceable by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer system. The site shall be served by a connection through Chesterfield Subdivision and piped under the UPRR. Proceeding through the approval process is strictly the risk of the applicant. The City of Meridian does not guarantee sewer service within the development time limitations outlined in Meridian City Ordinance. See Site Specific Condition #8 below.

Reduced Standards: As stated earlier, the applicant is requesting modifications trom standard ordinance requirements for street trontage and number of buildings per lot. Lot Frontage: The minimum requested street frontage is none. (50 feet is the minimum for the R-15 zone; 30 feet is the minimum for the L-O zone.). The multi-family lot is AZ-O5.016. PP.O5-023. CUP-O5-024 Silver Oaks,AZ_PP,CUP_doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: June 16,2005 Page 18 contained within private accesses and the individual units will be accessed through Common Drives. This lot requires relief from the minimum street fi:ontage as cUlTently designed with the collector road becoming private approximately 464 feet north of Franklin Road. Staff has conditioned the project to provide a public stub street fi:om the proposed public road tenninus to the west which will provide approximately 400 Feet of frontage to both lots. This will make the request for waiver of lot frontage null, as both lots will receive fi:ontage from the public road extension from the collector road to the Kennedy Lateral. Setbacks: All setbacks should comply with the appropriately zoned district. 2. Amenities: MCC 12-6-2.A.3 requires two or more amenities to be provided as part of each planned development. The proposed amenities for the subject planned development include: an extensive open space system for pathways and a large multifamily lot which will contain seventy-seven units (77) with a clubhouse, pool, and fitness center. The proposed open space makes up greater than 10% of the site, 5% minimum is required and it takes 10% to count open space as an amenity. The applicant is not proposing specific parking for the clubhouse or an internal pedestrian system for access to the clubhouse, the applicant should provide crosswalks to facilitate pedestrian traffic across the parking lot. As proposed, staff believes the proposed clubhouse/pool/fitness center and open space areas provide sufficient amenities relative to the size of the proposed multi-family development. The commercial portion of the Planned Development proposes no amenities as defined by the appIicant; Sheet L1.5 does not show any amenities as required by MCC 12-6-2-3. The commercial portion will be required to provide an appropriate amenity as a part of the planned development. Landscaped open space means land exclusive of street rights-of-way and street buffers, except for right-of-way specifically dedicated for landscaping within a subdivision. The applicant has not calculated the total open space areas which count toward open space. No drainage lots, required street buffers, or canal buffers can be included in this calculation.
