This specific layout and its mixture of housing types, emphasize a subdivision with a high level of connectivity and easily accessible open spaces. Throughout the 10-acres of land, there are a proposed 75 units in total. From these 75 units, the proposed buildings consist of 38 multi -family attached townhomes, 1 single -single family lot, and 9 four-plex buildings. A variety of housing types is key to conforming to the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan and this site utilizes front -loaded multifamily, alley -loaded houses fronting to open space, and multifamily sites with ample open space surrounding individual buildings. Overall, the site brings a diversity of housing products that is beneficial to the community through the implementation of strategic planning and efficiently coordinating a community -based development. The corresponding Comprehensive Use Permit (CUP) request for the easterly lands is being advanced in support of the overall integrated vision for the entire site. The proposed multi -family buildings, while providing desired diversity in the overall housing product for the area, will help address the entry-level and downsizing family demographics needs already identified in the constrained Treasure Valley home market. The product delivery will be attractive and efficiently integrated within the area. Significant open space pedestrian/cycling connections, suitable parking, amenities such as a pavilion, and children's play structure will be provided and will promote the warm community environment. Orientation of the buildings will promote "eyes on the park" ideology and support strong elements of community safety. Visibility and accessibility to the rear yard spaces along the wide-open space easement area will also support community safety and provide a pleasing setting for residents to embrace. Residential Lots —The proposed new residential lot have been sized to fit a building product that will fit within the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan and will provide additional housing to a desirable part of town. This site's attached multi -family product optimizes a natural flow from the existing Hensley Station Subdivision to the West. The site also consists of a distinct multi -family fourplex building portion that allows for abundant open space and walkability while still maintaining a tight -knit community feel throughout the subdivision. 412 S 3rd Street.
