C. Findings for Consideration
This application is for a rezone only. Listed below are some of the findings for consideration
that the District may require when it reviews a future development application (additional
findings for consideration maybe levied with a specific redevelopment application).
1. Franklin Road
a. Existing Conditions: Franklin Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and
5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 82-feet of right-of-way for Franklin Road (41-
feetfrom centerline).
b. Policy:
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken
to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of
improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master
Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the
District before starting any design.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Width: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.1 state that the
standard 7-lane street section shall be 96-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 120-feet of
right-of-way. This width typically accommodates three travel lanes in each direction, a
continuous raised or landscaped median with intermittent turn lanes, and safety shoulders.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Width: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.1 state that the
standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 96-feet of
right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a
3 MRZ-11-005
continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a
principal arterial.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide
between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased

be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back-of--curb shall be a
minimum of 7-feet wide.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
Appropriate easements shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed out of the right-of--way.
The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet
behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the
public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.).

existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements
are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction
or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps;
pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACRD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of--way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. This segment of Franklin Road is designated in the
MSM as a Planned Commercial Arterial with 7-lanes and on-street bike lanes, an 89-foot
street section within 115-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Franklin Road.

or pedestrian facilities along Franklin Road abutting the site, consistent with ACHD's Minor
Improvements Policy 7203.3.

3. Driveways
3.1 Franklin Road
a. Existing Conditions: There is one full-access driveway on Franklin Road, abutting the site.
The driveway is 30-feet wide and is located approximately 270-feet east of the intersection of
Franklin Road and Linder Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).
b. Policy
Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with
development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section
and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is
being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated
and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops.
5 MRZ-11-005
Access Policy: District Policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is
typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken
from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to
the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be
based on Table 1 b under District Policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has
been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial
shall operate as a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a
raised median to restrict the left turning movements.
Driveway Location Policy: District Policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal
arterial roadways to be located a minimum of 355-feet from the nearest intersection for aright-
in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial
roadways.
Successive Driveways Policy: District Policy 7205.4.7 Table 1 b, requires driveways located
on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 MPH to align or offset a minimum of
400-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
Driveway Width Policy: District Policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or
more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a
maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for
high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii
will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-
feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in
accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing full-access
driveway onto Franklin Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Access Management or Driveway Location Policies and should not be approved, as proposed.
Access to principal arterials is typically prohibited. When access is allowed to a principal
arterial it should be located a minimum of 355-feet from the nearest intersection/driveway.
Additionally the driveway should function as a right-in/right-out only driveway.
Staff is recommending a modification of policy to allow the driveway to remain, however as a
right-in/right-out only driveway. The applicant should be required to construct a 6" raised
concrete median, with reflective candles, to restrict the driveway to right-in/right-out. The
median should begin at the intersection of Franklin Road and Linder Road and run east for
approximately 300-feet terminating 75-feet east of the eastern edge of the existing driveway
on Franklin Road.
3.2 Linder Road
a. Existing Conditions: There is one full-access driveway on Linder Road, abutting the site.

median should begin at the intersection of Linder Road and Franklin Road and run south for
approximately 205-feet terminating 75-feet south of the southern edge of the existing driveway
on Linder Road.
4. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: 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

storm drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision
triangle at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot
height restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset
7 MRZ-11-005
from stop signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all
District requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans.
