(This application does not require Commission action) History of Previous Actions: • This property received annexation and zoning approval with an R-4 zoning district in 2006. A preliminary plat (PP-OS-048) was also approved for Reflection Ridge Subdivision consisting of 255 residential building lots and 29 common area lots. A CUP was approved for a planned development with reductions to lot size, lot frontage, building setbacks, and exceeding the maximum block length allowed in residential districts. The preliminary plat and CUP/PD approvals have expired; only the zoning of R-4 artd development agreement remains in effect. The applicant is proposing essentially the same preliminary plat as previously approved for Reflection Ridge in 2005. However, some conditions affecting development of the site have changed, as follows: - A 40-foot wide access easement exists along the west boundary of this site that was not accounted for with the original preliminary plat. This easement benefits the land locked property to the southwest of this site that is currently a gravel pit. As such, gravel trucks and other large trucks frequent this road. Additionally, the land use designation of the adjacent property changed from medium density residential to mixed use -non-residential last year, which allows a mix of uses with up to 50% of retail uses, office, food service/restaurants, industry, flex buildings, storage facilities, or warehouse uses. For these reasons, staff recommends the building lots shown along the west boundary be relocated and common area be placed in this area instead (see condition #1.2.3). Further, staff recommends a 10-foot wide street buffer be constructed within the recommended common area adjacent to the access road (see condition #1.2.13). - The pathways plan in effect in 2005 did not require a pathway along the Farr Lateral. The Master Pathways Plan, adopted in 2007, now requires a pathway connection between the future Ridenbaugh pathway along SH 69 and Mary McPherson Elementary School to the south. Because of the topography of the land in this area, Staff recommends the pathway be located on this site along the Farr Lateral as detailed in condition #1.2.10. - Two of the blocks (Blocks 7 & 18) exceed the maximum block length required by the UDC. Previously, these lots were allowed to exceed the maximum block length along with other reductions to dimensional standards in the R- 4district through the planned development under the old City Code. Now, a variance is required, per the UDC. Elevations: Yes (Approved with Reflection Ridge Sub. & included in the existing DA) Written Testimony: A letter in response to the staff report was submitted by the applicant, Ashley Ford. Outstanding Issue(s) for Commission: None Note: The staff report has been revised to delete a DA provision (#1.4.4) requiring land to be designated for future ROW along the west boundary of the site for construction of a public street -Staff is not requiring a public street along the west boundary and this DA provision has been deleted from the staff report. Staff Recommendation: Approval w/the conditions & DA provisions stated in the staff report.
