The development will also have a stub road located on the southwest edge of the property that will terminate at the property line with the possibility to extend in the future. The current Unified Development Code, Section 8-4E-2 requires a development of this size to have 4 site amenities. The applicant is proposing a 10 ft wide exercise pathway around the eastern perimeter of block 7. The applicant also calls out a park and additional walking paths. These other features are not specified on the preliminary plat. This will be a condition of approval for the final plat and all 4 amenities need to be called out. This application was originally heard by Council on December 1, 2020. At this meeting, Council tabled the application and directed the applicant to address density, setbacks, floodplain issues and work with the neighbors to the west and in the middle of the development (Larsen’s). The applicant and Staff has met with neighbors and the applicant has submitted a revised preliminary plat and will update the Council at the upcoming hearing. Staff has reviewed the updated plat for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code and finds that it meets the requirements and is therefore in support of the submitted revisions. As approved by Council, the conceptual Layout dated February 2, 2021 (to be revised as a preliminary plat) contains 128 residential lots, and 11 common area lots for a total of 139 lots. Total open space was revised to include 5.93 acres Useable open space area must be a minimum of 10%.

Development Features: ANNEXATION & REZONE: The annexation and rezone request from County Rural Urban Transition (RUT) to Medium Density Residential (R-4) on the applicant’s property will allow for the subdivision of the property to develop with urban densities that will be consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan Map. The overall gross density of the proposed development is 3.56 dwelling units per acre. The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this property as Neighborhood Residential, with an allowed density of 3 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The requested density is aligned with the current land use designation. The requested zoning designation and density meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. PRELIMINARY PLAT: The Preliminary Plat submitted contains 76 single family residential lots, and 9 common area lots for a total of 85 total lots. The residential lots range in size from 6,300 square feet to 27,934 square feet with the average buildable lot area of 7,526 square feet. The applicant has indicated that the development will contain a total of 3.20 acres (15.00%) of open space with 2.14 acres (10.00%) of qualified open space. This meets the minimum requirement for usable open space in the current Unified Development Code, Section 8-4E-2. Streets are proposed to be public throughout the development. Proposed local streets measure 36 ft from back of curb to back of curb on the submitted preliminary plat with a 50-foot easement. This street width satisfies the requirements of the UDC. ---PAGE BREAK--- SELLWOOD PLACE SUBDIVISION FFCL FILE NO. AZ-20-20/DA-20-25/PP-20-18 3 The development will be accessed on the west N. Brandon Road. The development will also have a stub road located on the southeast edge of the property that will terminate at the property line with the possibility to extend in the future. It does appear that the development has an emergency access, also off N. Brandon Road on the south parcel. The development has 1 cul-de-sac that measures approximately 150 feet long. This satisfies the requirements of Section 8-6B-2-B4. The applicant is NOT requesting any setback waivers from current code. The applicant has not indicated more than 1 phase for the development of this subdivision. This application was originally heard by Council on January 5, 2021. At the meeting, Council tabled the application and directed the applicant to review the location of the entrance to the subdivision on Brandon Road with ACHD for possible relocation, detached sidewalks along Brandon Road, irrigation and drainage issues, and an updated landscape plan. The applicant will provide Council with and updated landscape plan and will update the Council on the other issues at the upcoming hearing. The applicant has indicated that ACHD does not support moving the access to the south on Brandon Road. As approved by Council, the preliminary plat contains 76 residential lots, 15 common area lots and 2 common driveway lots for a total of 93 lots. Residential lots range from 6,228 square feet to 14,760 square feet (existing home lot). Total open space approved includes 3.30 acres (15.5%) with a total useable open space area of 2.14 acres ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT FEATURES: • Sidewalks Sidewalks are proposed at five-foot widths and will be attached throughout the overall subdivision. • Street Names Street names will be approved by the Ada Street Naming Committee prior to signature of final plat. • Landscaping - As required by the Unified Development Code, Chapter 8, Section D Street Trees; the minimum density of one tree per thirty-five (35) linear feet is required. The landscaping plan submitted does not meet this requirement. This condition may be met by the developer by installing trees in the front yards of each lot once the driveway locations have been established. Code also calls for 1 shade tree per 4000 square feet of open space. Lot 33 Block 1 and Lot 1 Block 3 and Lot 24, Block 2 do not show a sufficient number of trees and must be revised before the final plat can be signed. Prior to the approval of the final plat, the applicant shall be required to submit an updated ---PAGE BREAK--- SELLWOOD PLACE SUBDIVISION FFCL FILE NO. AZ-20-20/DA-20-25/PP-20-18 4 landscape plan showing all trees required trees.
