Subject:TM Creek Apartments - CUP, ZOA, MDA H-2017-0124 Staff Recommendation to
Commission for 9/21 Commission Hearing
Attachments:16-189 CUP Site Plan with hatch.pdf
All,
We have reviewed the TM Creek Apartments project staff report and concur with its analysis and
recommended conditions of approval. Two points of clarity and comment:
First – The submitted site plan did not accurately identify the “qualified open space;” that inaccuracy was
carried forward in the project narrative. Both required staff’s time to identify the error and to work with us
through corrective iterations during the week. For that we apologize.
- The attached site plan, with corrected open space calculations, shows 1.44 acres of open space (18.5%)
on the 7.76-acre site, exceeding the required minimum; the subsequent DR and CZC process will
validate compliance.
Second – The application proposed amending the UDC to reduce the current “private usable open space”
standard from 80 s.f. per unit to 60 s.f. —“unless that objective is possible through the CU or PUD
process.” While our “unless” options appear not to be possible under the current UDC, staff has proposed a
solution (middle of page 6, and Condition 1.1.3) with which we agree:
- “As an alternative to the applicant’s request, Staff recommends UDC Table 11-5B-5, Alternative Compliance, is
amended to include ‘private useable open space’ in Section 11-4-3-27B.3.”
Thus, we will attend the hearing to support staff’s recommendation; to answer questions; and to request the
Commission’s approval.
Respectfully,
Michael Wardle

Commission Hearing
Mike (et al),
Very sorry for the delay in getting this staff report out to you; I thought I’d sent it to you on Monday but apparently
didn’t – thanks for bringing to my attention that I hadn’t.
Thank you,
Sonya
