APPLICATION SUNIlVIARY ~E IDR IAN;~- ~J The applicant, Brighton Corporation, has requested approval of an 18 month time extension to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat for the first phase of Bainbridge Subdivision and commence the use approved with the CUP/PD. The subject property is located on the south side of Chinden Boulevard and on the west side of N. Ten Mile Road near the southwest corner of Chinden & Ten Mile. Previous approvals for this development are: • Bainbridge Subdivision received annexation and zoning (AZ-OS-001), preliminary plat (PP- OS-002), and conditional use permit/planned development (CUP-OS-002) approval by Council on April 19, 2005 under the old city code (the UDC had not yet been adopted). The CUP/PD was valid until October 19, 2006; the PP was valid until April 19, 2006. • An administrative time extension (TE-06-001) was approved on January 24, 2006, which granted an 18 month time extension to record the first fmal plat, which was valid until October 19, 2007; and to commence the use as approved with the CUP/PD, which was valid until April 19, 2008. • A second 18 month time extension (TE-07-013) was approved by City Council on December 4, 2007 to obtain the City Engineer's signature on a final plat and commence the use approved with the CUP/PD. The time extension was valid until April 19, 2009; the applicant submitted the subject time extension request prior to the expiration date as required. As a condition of the time extension, staff recommended the applicant comply with current UDC provisions regarding development along state highways that were not in affect at the time of preliminary plat approval. The City Council required the applicant to dedicate or preserve adequate right-of-way from the centerline of Chinden; construct a 35 foot wide landscape buffer along the north property line adjacent to Chinden, exclusive of any right-of-way; and construct a 10 foot wide pathway along Chinden. On Apri16, 2009, the Planning Department received a written request from the applicant for a third 18 month time extension to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat, in accordance with Unified Development Code 11-6B-7C. The applicant states that they will soon be submitting the first final plat but that it's not possible to obtain the City Engineer's signature as required prior to the expiration date. For this reason, the applicant is unable to meet the time requirements specified in UDC 11-6B-7 and 11-SB-6. With all extensions, the City may require compliance with the current provisions of the UDC as a condition for granting a time extension (UDC 11-6B-7C). Because ordinance requirements for the amount of open space and amenities have changed since the original approval, Staff believes there are additional conditions that should be added to those previously approved by City Council with the preliminary plat and planned development for this subdivision (see Section 3 Analysis below). Bainbridge Sub FP TE PAGE 1 2. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE Per UDC 11-6B-7A, approval of a preliminary plat shall become null and void if the applicant fails to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the fmal plat within two years of the approval of the preliminary plat. Per UDC 11-6B-7B, Phased Development, in the event that the development of the preliminary plat is made in successive phases in an orderly and reasonable manner, and conforms substantially to the approved preliminary plat, such segments, if signed by the City Engineer within successive intervals of eighteen (18) months, may be considered for final approval without resubmission for preliminary plat approval. Per UDC 11-SB-6F, a conditional use permit, when granted, shall be valid for a maximum period of 18 months unless otherwise approved by the City. During this time, the applicant shall commence the use as permitted in accord with the conditions of approval, satisfy -the requirements set forth in the conditions of approval, and acquire building permits and commence construction of permanent footings or structures on or in the ground. Per UDC 11-SB-6F and UDC 11-6B-7C, time extensions maybe granted upon written request by the applicant prior to the termination date of the plat and/or CUP/PD. 3. STAFF ANALYSIS At the time this project was approved, MCC 12-6-3, Planned Development Standards, required a minimum of 2 amenities be provided on the site. Per the conditions of approval of the planned development (PD), the applicant was required to provide 10% of the site as open space (as defined in MCC 12-13-16-3) as one amenity, and a second amenity in accordance with MCC 12-6-2A.3. The open space originally proposed totaled 11.6 acres or 7.65% of the site; to comply with the required 10%, a total of 15.17 acres would need to be provided. Currently, UDC (11-3G-3) requires a minimum of 10% open space be provided for all developments over 5 acres in size along with one additional site amenity for each additiona120 acres of development area. According to this requirement, a total of 15.17 acres of open space and 6 amenities are required to be provided (based on 151.72 acres); see UDC 11-3G-3B for open space and 11-3G-3C for site amenity qualifications. As a condition of approval of the subject time extension, Staff recommends this development comply with current UDC amenity requirements in addition to the 10% open space required with the CUP/PD as discussed above. The applicant has provided updated calculations for the project based on the qualified open space requirements in UDC 11-3G-3B, as follows: 7.49 acre City park, 1.31 acre neighborhood park, 0.55 acre common area, micro-paths consisting of 0.32 acre, collector street buffer consisting of 4.01 acres, local street buffers consisting of 0.93 acre, and 1.24 acre common area along the south boundary of the subdivision (this area was not shown on the original plat), and 7.46 acres consisting of 8-foot wide parkways, for a total of 23+ acres, which complies with and exceeds the minimum open space requirements. The parkways proposed by the applicant consisting of 7.46 acres, if constructed in accordance with the standards in UDC 11-3G-3B5, amount to an additional 5% open space and may count as 1 site amenity. The remaining 5 required site amenities shall include but not be limited to the following: 1) Quality of life amenities such as a clubhouse, fitness facility, enclosed bike storage, public art, or picnic area; 2) Recreation amenities such as a swimming pool, children's play structures, or sports courts; 3) Pedestrian or bicycle circulation system amenities that are not required adjacent to public right-of--way and that connect to existing or planned pedestrian or bicycle routes outside the development; and 4) Provision of transit stops, park-and-ride facilities or other multi-model facilities to encourage alternative automobile transport (iJDC 11-3G-3C). Staff can not verify that the proposed open space complies with the qualified open space requirements contained in UDC 11-3G-3B because curbs, sidewalks, parkways, and street trees are not shown on Bainbridge Sub FP TE PAGE 2 the open space exhibit that was submitted with this application (see Exhibit C). In order to qualify as open space, the parkways adjacent to local residential streets need to be 8 feet in width and planted with 1 tree every 35 lineal feet (UDC 11-3G-3B5). Therefore, staff is recommending the applicant submit a revised site/landscape plan that demonstrates compliance with the open space and site amenity requirements in UDC 11-3G-3 prior to or concurrent with the first fmal plat application for this subdivision. Note: Building elevations were submitted and approved with the original application. Therefore, staff is not requiring the applicant to submit new elevations as a condition of the subject time extension. 4. SiJ1VIlVIARY RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of the requested 18 month time extension for the applicant to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the first final plat and commence the use approved with the CUP/PD for Bainbridge Subdivision with the conditions listed below. Staff further recommends that the applicant comply with all previous conditions of approval of AZ-OS-001, PP-OS- 002, CUP-OS-002, TE-06-001, & TE-07-013. 1. A minimum 10% open space (15.17 acres) shall be provided within this development in accordance with the provisions listed in UDC 11-3G-3B, Qualified Open Space. 2. A minimum of 6 amenities (in addition to the required 10% open space) shall be provided within this development in accordance with the provisions listed in UDC 11-3G-3C. 3. An updated site/landscape plan that demonstrates compliance with the aforementioned open space & site amenity requirements shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review prior to or concun ent with the first residential final plat application for this subdivision. 4.
