HomeMy WebLinkAboutAdditional Application Info V1Reply to S. Allen re: Request for Additional Information - 1 Item Requested by S. Allen Notes DA modification 1 Original project name, annexation/rezone final number and ordinance number Meridian Crossing AZ-09-008 10-1467 2 Date of City Council approval of development agreement, recordation date, instrument number December 7, 2010 December 9, 2010 110115738 3 Reason for development agreement modification (address with a request is to remove property from an existing development agreement and execute a new one, or solely a modification to an existing development agreement) We envision this modification as an amended and restated Development Agreement with a termination of the existing or original Development Agreement. All property governed by the original Development Agreement will be governed by the amended and restated Development Agreement. The project has changed and the original zoning boundaries, which were contemplated to be revised in the original Development Agreement, are being revised, which will be reflected in the amended and restated Development Agreement. 4 Sections of development agreement to be modified and proposed modification and strike out/underline format See attached redlined Development Agreement. 5 Any other supporting information No. 6 Affidavit of legal interest DA legal description Information on authority of James Zeiter to sign on behalf of Meridian 118, LLC sent to Sonya Allen (11-5-21 and 11-9-21). Preliminary plat Narrative fully describing the proposed project: 7 Address whether or not a variance will be requested with respect to any provision of the ordinance describing a particular provision, the variance requested, and the reason thereof See discussion in lines 10 – 13 below. 8 Development features and/or commitments by the applicant See attached Additional Narrative in Support of the Preliminary Plat Application. Reply to S. Allen re: Request for Additional Information - 2 9 Description of any covenant or deed restrictions that support the proposed development (e.g., larger rear setback to buffer adjoining properties, etc.) None existing. Alternative compliance Narrative fully describing the proposed request including the following: 10 The specific requirements that are proposed to be modified The Vanguard Commons (north 40 acres)Line 18: narrative identified the specific requirements proposed to be modified on pp. 10 & 14: This text is being revised as follows: . . . we are requesting alternative compliance for setbacks for the residential buildings located on Sunset Point Way and Coral Reef. On collector streets, the R-15 district requires 20 feet between the back of the sidewalk and the living area of a building. Our setbacks are 17 feet from the back of the sidewalk to the building. These streetscapes and setbacks were designed in compliance with the TMISAP and exceed the ten foot minimum setback required in the Multifamily Development specific use standards. UDC § 11-4-3- 27.B.1. Alternative compliance is permitted for deviations from Structure and Site Design Standards, UDC § 11-3A-19. Please also see attached Supplemental Narrative for Compliance Narrative 11 Address the reason why strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible Strict adherence to the setback is not feasible because Vanguard Commons was designed to comply with the “street-oriented” design standards of the TMISAP to create an urban, pedestrian-friendly multi-family development. 12 Demonstrate how the proposed alternative means for compliance with the specific requirements provides an equal or superior means of meeting the intent and purpose of the regulation The TMISAP provides that “building at or close to the property line creates a consistent edge to the public space and makes streets more friendly and walkable” (3-33), and that residential collector streets “have limited setbacks behind the sidewalk and a tree lawn is provided” (3-23). We have created an urban, walkable neighborhood, as contemplated by the TMISAP. In order to comply with both the TMISAP and the Structure and Design Standards, we request alternative compliance from the setback. 13 Any supporting documentation or plans See attached Supplemental Narrative for Alternative Compliance.
