PZ - Applicant Response to Staff ReportAll,
On behalf of Calnon Properties, I express general concurrence with
staff’s recommendation, acknowledging that discussions with City staff
have resulted in changes to the requested comprehensive map amendment
and zoning configurations and areas.
I do, however, propose one important modification, and offer two
clarifications:
Modify DA Requirement 1.1.1.d, Exhibit B, page 6
Staff's residential unit calculation on page 12 of the staff report,
calling for a "minimum of 380 units," is deemed too specific and too
aggressive for the gross project area. Those area calculations include
non-buildable right-of-way for Franklin Road (2.88 acres) and Tenmile
Creek (5.4 acres). In addition, the densities noted are not the
“minimums” cited in the Comprehensive Plan land use designations.
Therefore, we propose a reduction for the overall site to a “minimum of
188 units” based on the following:
The Mixed Use Commercial land-use designation has a “Target Density for
Area: 8 to 12 dwellings / acre,” with “no more than 30% . . . used for
residences.”
- Thus, the minimum residential unit calculation should be:
32.9 acres X 30% X 8 du/ac (the minimum target) = 79 units
The Mixed Use Residential land-use designation also has a “Target
Density for Area: 8 to 12 dwellings / acre,” with a minimum of 60% of
the area designated for residential uses.
- Thus, the minimum residential unit calculation should be:
22.7 acres X 60% X 8 du/ac (the minimum target) = 109 units
Proposed Action: Modify DA Requirement 1.1.1.d to establish the minimum
residential component for the overall site at 188 units instead of 380.
Clarifications
- With regard to DA requirement 1.1.1.j, access and
cross-access requirements will be determined through future
site-specific project proposals, including the potential of ACHD
approval of right-in/right-out access points to Franklin Road, and
cross-access limitations due to potential land-use conflicts.
- Eliminate Development Agreement requirement redundancies
found in 2.1.1.a-b-c-d [same as 1.1.1.q-r-s-t] and 6.1 [same as
1.1.1.f].
