Jason,
I discussed the location of the vertically integrated structures with staff.
The position is that this is our preference for the location of the V-I structures. As there is a commercial pad being
proposed at the Crosswind / Linder intersection, it makes more sense to have commercial and V-I around this entrance,
verses people having to drive all the way down south into the development to get to Building H. Also, given the intent of
mixed use is to encourage walkability and synergy, it would seem more logical for that to occur in and around the
intersection (Crosswind and Linder) verses suggesting that would happen in and around the drive aisles or landscape
buffer near Building G and H as is presently reflected.
Regardless of the optics involved with traffic, we are not convinced there would be any additional impacts along
Crosswind to the west as the only people going that direction would be going into that subdivision anyway, not typical
customers. It is also not required to make those buildings three stories if that is the concern of neighbors. You could
consider Building B being three Story VI and Building A being two stories VI. OR look at Building B being VI, with Building
A being 2 story residential.
Finally, the history has been that both Planning Commission and Council have expressed reluctance to give up too much
commercial in this area. We have commented since the first pre-app that staff believes it preferable to have commercial
along the arterial frontages and residential behind it.
Either way, note something will have to occur with the “alley” at the north to meet code so a redesign is required on the
north side of Crosswind Street.
