V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat depicts 36 single-family residential building lots and 5 common area lots on
8.43 acres of land in the R-8 zoning district. This is the 3rd and final phase of development of Howry
Lane Subdivision. All of the lots proposed in this subdivision are for single-family detached homes
and comply with the dimensional standards of the R-8 zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat as set forth in UDC 11-6B-3C.2. The total number of buildable lots in this phase has decreased
by 4 and the amount of common area is the same. In the first phase, 9 fewer building lots were shown
on the final plat and in the second phase 4 fewer lots were shown for a total of 17 fewer building lots
overall than approved with the preliminary plat. When the preliminary plat was approved, a “step up”
in density was approved from low density (3 or fewer units/acre) to medium density (3-8 units/acre)
residential. Because the density resulting from the final plats at 2.94 dwelling units/acre is in line with
the FLUM designation of LDR, staff finds the proposed final plat in substantial compliance with the
approved preliminary plat and Comprehensive Plan.
