Concept Pisan Exhibit C attached is a conceptual development play intended to visually convey the design intent for the Sun Cite Texas Cowan Creek Amenit. Center. The design is not final. and is subject to refinement during the platting and site planning stages. This PUD zonin`7 document does not constitute plat or site plan approval of the attached plan. The focal point of the amenity center campus is the community building. The building contains several meeting rooms, a catering kitchen, a Golf course pro -shop, fitness rooms, and associated locker rooms. Two (2) swimming pools have been located Within close proximity to the main buildinn. One pool will be outdoors and serve as a relaxing. social area ���hiie the second pool will be covered with retractable side- w°alis and include swimming lanes for athletic fitness programs and regiments. The desian of the second pool will be similar to the recently added swimming faeilit<V at Sun Ciitr's existing VillaUe Center. The creation of outdoor gathering and entertaining spaces was critical to the design. Several patios and event lawn areas have been designed in close proximity to the main building to host both formal and informal gatherings. Due to the building`s proximin1 to the recently built golf course, the campus will also serve as the operational headquarters for the golf course. In addition to the pro -shop, golf cart storage_ golf staaing areas, a refreshment stand, and parking required for the golf course will be provided. An outdoor pavilion has been designed on the western portion of the campus. The structure has been sited to compliment an amphitheater that will serve as the focal point of thewestern edge of the campus.

Parkin6 Lot ScreeninE Requirements It is the design intent to reduce the visual impact of parking areas from public right-of- ways. Therefore, screening will be incorporated into the landscape design. maintained at least 36 inches in height and be achieved through one ofthe following methods: ® Planting screens (hedge} Masonry walls Berming in naturalistic forms Or a combination of anv of the above along with trees Live screening. shall be capable of providing a solid 36 -inch screen within two years. as determined by a landscape architect or other licensed professional. The hedge calculation shall be one (1)evergreen shrub per three (3) linear feet for parking frontage to be screened. In an effort to create naturalistic plant massing. screening shall be offset at least six (6) feet every 60 linear feet. H. Parking Lot Landscapina Requirements The development plan will achieve a landscape feel consistent with the other built amenity areas within Sun City Texas. In order to achieve this goal and create a cannpus like setting. parking Nvithin the PUD will be landscaped to the folloN'ving standards: A. Parking Lot Landscape Calculation 1. The parking lot landscape area requirements are based on the percentage of required parking located between the building facade and the street right -o; way: for the purpose of this PtiD. 18 square feet of landscaping is required ner parking stall. 2. Internal Parking Lot Landscaping; - Two (2) trees and four (4) shrubs shall be planted for each 600 square feet of required landscape area. B. Location All new trees within a parking lot shall be planted in a per area of at least 100 square feet and have a minimum interior dimension of 8.5 feet wide.

Buffer Ward Reg uirements Due to the location of the proposed amenity center building in relation to the existing golf course and the distance from existing and proposed dwelling units. no buffer -yard shall be required. I Street Tree Requirements As described above. the development plan has been designed to provide a campus like atmosphere that compliments the natural setting. This deslgn goal results in a design that mini;nizes impacts to existino. areas of the site. AdditionalkI. the development will be built consistent \vitn the existing streetscape look and feel of Sun Cite Texas. Therefore. per the goals outlined above, and consistent with the ,governing ordinances established in the Sun City Texas Development Agreement. street trees alae not required along right -of way frontage adjoining the PUD. K. Primary- .Landscape Requirements The primary landscape shall be calculated by total site impervious cover times 1 5% landscape required. The requirements may be satisfied by parking lot landscaping, tree canopy. and replacement trees. Required planting shall consist of two (2) trees and tour (4) shrubs per 600 square _feet of primary landscape required. Landscape Credits for Primary Landscape: i 1e foll0\M1'1?2`' maV courit towards meeting the landscaping r equlrementS: Any area improved with landscaping by the Applicant. Up�to ?� percent of paved parking areas where constructed with brick pavers or pervious pavement systems as approved by the Director. Street trees planted within the propertV line. and parking lot trees. 100% of the crown area of undisturbed existing.; trees shall be reduced from the landscape area requirements; provided that the area surroundin2a the tree is left undisturbed and that the area Consist, of at least one hundred (? 00) square feet.. not less than fifty percent (50°10) of the crmAM area. L. Tree CanorN Tree Canopy Area snail be calculated as 1 15 percent of the entire lot square footage as defined in exhibit B. The calculation for the mature crown area of all retained and planted trees from the City approved tree List (Table 8.04.020_ Tree Canopy List) shall I e given a mature canopy square footage credit of ],256 square feet. All trees not on the tree list will be given a mature canopy square footage credit of 79 square feet. Tree Sur., Cin% exas.. Cowan Creek L menin Center - Planned. unit Development -D "s- PaEe1 0 i o Canopy Credits may be met by all existing trees that are retained and all planted trees. as well as any trees planted within the adjacent right of way. M. Replacement Trees It is the design intent of the PUD to create a setting that enhances and showcases the natural setting of the. site. .A tree survey has identified all ten (10) inch caliper or greater trees within the PUD. Through the design process. the design may result in the - loss of some ten (i 0) inch caliper or greater trees. In such cases, all surveyed trees over ten (10) inches shall be replaced and may provide credit toward required Primary Landscape requirements or replacement trees on a I tree to I tree basis. f Replacement trees must be a minimum of 4 inches in caliper. H All replacement trees must be of the same species or comparable alternative and the same size at maturity as the trees removed. a All replacement trees must be located within the lot, as defined in Exhibit B. Replacement Tree. Calculation shall be calculated as 20 percent of the total caliper inches of trees removed equaling the total inches to be replaced. N. MIaste Containers The location of the Cowan Creek Amenity Center was originally selected because of the site`s dramatic views of Cowan Creek. A primary goal of the site planning effort was to accentuate the views of the Creek and surrounding; open space areas. As a result. the front facade of the main building does not face the public road that fronts the site. The front facade has been set at a 90 deareean(le to the road. 'While the front facade is offset, the design has set thepro-shop and catering kitchen along the side of the building that face the public roadway. This is due to programming issues and relationships to outdoor uses. A close relationship between these high use areas and the waste container will be critical to the operational success of the facility. It is the Applicant's intent to fully screen the component from public view to provide the necessary operational item without compromising views or the campus experience. To that end. a1I mechanical equipment,, waste containers, outside. storage. and loading docks must be screened from public rights -of -ways using one of the following methods: 4.n everrtreen hedgemaintained at least 36 inches in height x .A solid wall at or taller than the required screened element E Or a combination of both of the above methods. Live screening shah be capable of providing a solid 36 -inch screen within two years. as determined by a landscape architect or other licensed professional. The hedge calculation is one (I} evergreen shrub per three (3) linear feet. Sun Cir\- Texas. Cowan Creek Amenity Center - P,anned'Unit Development 11 L Pay.e 8 of '10 0.
