(Proposed) Project was rejected by Planning Commission, applicant has resubmitted plans which include a design concept on the northerly 40 acres which had not been detailed previously. The Planning Commission in their review of this property recommended to the City Council that the total development be limited to 282 dwelling units on a total of approximately 70.5 acres. The applicants new proposal is for a total of 315 dwelling units versus their original request of 418 dwelling units. The DRB in their review of the single-family attached units felt that the project was too tight and specifically pointed out the garage bays as an example of this problem. Therefore, the DRB was supportive of the Staff Recommendation to reduce this area from 160 units to 132 dwelling units. The refiling still reflects 160 dwelling units. Staff Recommendation: Recommend approval to the Planning Commission the revised plans with the following revisions being_incorporated in the construction drawings: A. Site Plan (Exhibit A) 1 . Limit the single-family attached units to a total of 132 dwelling units. 2. Restudy proposed garage bays to provide greater setbacks between garages. 3. Recess all proposed lighted tennis courts a minimum of three feet. 4. On the patio homes provide a greater front yard setback for all units with straight-in entries to garages. The typical of 8' -10' is not acceptable. 5. Consider the deletion of one patio unit to bring this area into conformance with the existing zoning of PR-4, S.P. 9 • Ntitse Now PLANNING COM,IISSION RESOLUTION NO.
