The MDR designation allows smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of public amenities such as open space, pathways, or land dedicated for public services. The applicant proposes to develop the site with 39 single-family homes at a gross density of 3.74 (net density of 5.6) dwelling units per acre, within the target density of the MDR designation. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics): Tradetvinds Sub AZ-12-012; PP-012-015 PAGE 3 EXHIBIT A ® "Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high and high-density single-family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities." The proposed preliminary plat r•ejlects a gross density of 3.74 dwelling units per• acre, ivithirr the target density of the MDR designation of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The surrounding property is also designated to develop at densities allowed in the MDR designation. Tuscany Lakes Subdivision No. 2 that exists at the southeast corner of the site was developed at a gross derrsit~~ of 2.22 dwelling units per• acre. ® "Permit new development where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City."

The applicant is proposing 0.94 of are acre (or 10.3%) of qualifred open space consistent with this r•equir•enrerrt. ® "Protect existing residential properties fi•om incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels." The subjectproperty is surrounded by rural residential property, zoned RUT in Ada Cozmty. The Futzrre Larrd Use Map designates the subjectproper•ty & adjacent properties for• 1lIDR uses. The gross density of the proposed plat is 3.74 dtivellirrg zruits per acre consistent with the MDR designation of 3 to 8 dtivellirrg units per acre.
