B. Findings for Consideration
South Ridge Subdivision
The proposed assisted living facility is located within South Ridge Subdivision. The conditions
and requirements set with the subdivision application also apply to this Conditional Use
Permit. Therefore, the applicant will be required to construct all street improvement required
as part of the South Ridge Subdivision abutting the site. The requirements are identified in the
findings below.
2. Overland Road
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure
72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot
concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct sidewalk on Overland Road
abutting the site. The applicant has proposed one service road/fire lane to intersect Overland Road
located approximately 450-feet west of Spanish Suri Avenue (measured centerline to near edge).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant will be required to construct a 5-foot wide
detached concrete sidewalk located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of Overland Road
abutting the site. Any segment of the sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way will need an
easement for public use. No additional right-of-way dedication will be required with this application,
as there is already sufficient right-of-way to accommodate future roadway widening.
As identified in the South Ridge Subdivision staff report direct lot access is prohibited to Overland
Road. The submitted site plan shows a service road/fire lane intersecting Overland Road, however
it is unclear whether, or not the roadway is proposed to be gated or has bollards to prevent direct lot
access to Overland. If the proposed service/fire roadway is proposed to be gated or have bollards
than the location is approved as proposed. If the proposed service/fire road is proposed to provide
direct lot access to Overland Road, than the applicant's proposal will not be approved as proposed.
The applicant would then be required to loop the service/fire road around the building to intersect
either Spanish Sun Avenue (a minimum of 160-feet south of Overland Road) or Southridge Drive (a
minimum of 75-feet south of Spanish Sun Avenue).
Additionally, the applicant will be required to construct a center left turn lane on Overland Road at
the Spanish Sun entry road, as identified in the South Ridge Subdivision traffic impact study and
staff report. Coordinate the design and construction of the center left turn lane with District Traffic
Services and Development Review staff.
3 CUP08-027
3. Internal Commercial Street
Commercial Street Policy: District policy 7202.8 and 72-F1A, requires roadways abutting
commercial developments to be constructed as a 40-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot
concrete sidewalk within 54-feet of right-of-way.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a commercial roadway section from
Spanish Sun Avenue from Overland Road to Southridge Drive around the east segment of the
proposed roundabout, as a standard 40-foot commercial street section with vertical curb, gutter,
and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks within 54-feet of right-of-way.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meet's District policy and is
consistent with the District's previous action on this site. With the South Ridge Subdivision
application the applicant had proposed on street parking on some segments of Spanish Sun
Avenue and Southridge Drive. On street parking will be addressed in finding number 4.
4. On Street Parking
Staff Comment/Recommendation: District Policy does not typically allow for on street parking on
commercial streets. The applicant has proposed on street parking in various locations within the
development. District staff recognizes the applicant's on street parking proposal is directly related
to the desire for a traditional neighborhood feet and for aesthetic appeal.
District staff has careful weighed the applicant's proposal against District policy relative to on street
parking. Based on conversations with the applicant and the proposed site layout staff proposes that
the following street segments be allowed to have on street parking on one side only:
Internal Commercial Streets -These roadway segments shall be designed to accommodate one
parking lane, a center turn lane, and 2-travel lanes.
• Southridge Drive, from Spanish Sun Avenue to a point north of the splitter islands for the
proposed round about (this location will have to be coordinated with District Traffic Services
staff).
Parking will be restricted on the following roadway segments:
• Spanish Sun Avenue
• Southridge Drive on the segments leading into the proposed roundabout.
5. Roadway Offsets
Roadway Offset Policy: District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a
minimum of 300-feet from an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed one roadway to intersect Overland Road,
Spanish Sun Avenue, approximately 710-feet west of the existing centerline of Linder Road
(measured centerline to centerline).
Staff CommentlRecommendation: As identified in the Capital Improvements Program the
intersection of Overland Road and Linder Road is going to be widened and signalized between
2014 and 2018. Because of these improvements it is important to move the proposed access roads
a far back from the intersection as possible to accommodate taper lanes, storage, and for the
general safety of the public.
4 CUP08-027
The applicant will be required to construct Spanish Sun Avenue to intersect Overland Road a
minimum of 600-feet from the Overland Road/Cinder Road intersection (measured from near edge
or STOP bar of the new intersection to near edge of the new roadway). This distance is based on
the anticipated intersection design which accommodates-dual left turn lanes, storage lengths, and
tapers. Due to the existing topography on Overland Road, if there is a site distance issue, the
intersecting commercial roadway may need to be located further west from the intersection of
Overland and Linder.
6. Roundabout
Roundabout Policy: The roundabout should be designed with 21-foot street sections on either
side of the center island. The applicant will be required to dedicate sufficient right-of-way on either
side of an island. Coordinate the size and design of the roundabout with traffic services staff.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct one roundabout with a center
island.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant will be required to coordinate the size and
design of the roundabout with the District's Traffic Services staff. The roundabout should be
designed in accordance with the District's Draft Roundabout Guidelines. The island should be
designed with 21-foot street sections on either side of the center island. Splitter islands may be
required on the roadway intersecting the roundabout. The splitter island and the roundabout island
should be dedicated as public right-of-way to allow modification to the roundabout by the District if
they are needed in the future.
7. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in planters less than 8-feet
in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be allowed in planters with a
minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum
width of 10-feet.
8. Other Access
Overland Road is classified as a principal arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically
approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
Comply with the previously approved conditions and requirements set with the South Ridge
Subdivision application.
2. Construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk on Overland Road. abutting the site. The sidewalk
shall be located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of Overland Road abutting the site. If the
sidewalk is located outside of the right-of-way, the applicant will be required to provide an easement
for public use of the sidewalk.
3. Construct a center left turn lane on Overland Road at the Spanish Sun entry road. Coordinate the
design and construction of the center left turn lane with District Traffic Services and Development
Review staff.
4. Construct one service/fire road to intersect Overland Road approximately 450-feet west of Spanish
Sun Avenue if the service/fire roadway is to be gated or have bollards. If the service/fire road is not
to be gated or have bollards, then the service/fire roadway it to loop around the building intersecting
5 CUP08-027
either Spanish Sun Avenue (a minimum of 160-feet south of Overland Road) or Southridge Drive( a
minimum of 75-feet from Spanish Sun Avenue).
5. Construct afull-access commercial street, Spanish Sun Avenue, to intersect Overland Road located
approximately 710-feet west of the existing centerline of Linder Road, as proposed.
6. Construct the following roadway segments as commercial roadways with standard 40-foot street
sections (vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot concrete sidewalks) within 54-feet of right-of-way unless
other wise noted below:
