The intent of this development is to expand the traditional `living space'—i.e., cottages, apartments—into space
that includes accessibility to every day conveniences, i.e., a sandwich shop, small retail grocer, dry cleaners, etc.
By allowing these services in short proximity to the users or clients, people can arrive via walking or riding a
bike. Outdoor recreational spaces are made available throughout the development to make those types of
spaces—pocket parks, barbeques, picnics, playscapes—more easily accessible.
1. Proposed land uses including uses to be prohibited. The primary use of the land will be multi -family with a
light commercial component. The light commercial will include retail and office—only those allowed uses
under current C 1 zoning. All other uses will be prohibited. The Commercial spaces will be on the first
floor level of multistory structures, with residential units above.
2. Proposed development standards and a list of standards which vary from the UDC requirements. The site is
currently zoned Multi -Family (MF) and Commercial (0), with the majority of the tract being zoned C3.
The adjacent properties to the North and South are commercially zoned. The adjacent properties to the west
are zoned Multi -Family. It is the intent of the PUD to meet the UDC requirements for Multi -Family zoning
except for the following: The following are deviations from the requirements set forth in the UDC for
Multi -Family.
A. Building Setbacks: The building setbacks along Northwest Blvd. will be 20 ft. and along 1-35 will be 50
ft. to accommodate easements and landscape buffering. Along the new internal streets, Washam Drive
will have 7.5 ft. setbacks allowing commercial/residential buildings to be built to the street. Similarly
Janis Drive will have 10 ft. setbacks on both sides. The rest of the setbacks will be 10 ft., except for
along the north property line, which will be 20 ft. due to an existing P.U.E.
B. Parking Requirements:
UDC Requirements:
For MF
1.5 per unit for 36 one bedroom = 54
2 per unit for 95 two bedroom = 190
2.5 per unit for 57 two+ bedroom = 143
5% of total for guests (387 * 0.5 = 19 (can be on street)
= 406 Total for Multi Family
For Commercial
I per 250 s.f net floor area (6000/250) = 24 Total Commercial
Total UDC requirement is 430 spaces. This development proposes to use a combination of on and off-
street parking to provide 400 spaces. The office space within the development will be utilized mostly
during the day when the residents are not home and the retail space will be used largely by the local
community, so the spaces can be used as shared parking. Additionally, the development will utilize on -
street parallel parking along Washam Drive for the commercial uses and angle parking along Janis Drive.
3. Existing natural features, drainage ways, one -hundred year flood plane. if applicable, existing topography
at
a maximum of 5 -foot contour intervals. The
