TITLE <br />ESCROW # <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />Community Development: Planning Division (Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code) <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />Name: Eric Maass, <br />Phone: (763) <br />Email: EMaass@wsbeng.com <br />Planning Consultant <br />576-4306 <br />General: The purpose of this file is to review the official Sketch Plan prepared by Capstone Homes, Inc. for the purpose of a <br />forty (40) unit subdivision located North of 146th Ave NW, South of Bunker Lake Blvd NW, West of Ramsey Blvd NW, and <br />East of Peridot St NW. The Developer has proposed a development of two story detached townhomes. <br />Applications & Assumptions: The Sketch Plan is the first step required of a <br />major subdivision. If recommended to move forward the Applicant will proceed <br />onto Preliminary Plat and Final Plat stages of the major subdivision ordinance. <br />This case is being reviewed per City Code Section 117-118 entitled The COR <br />district, and Chapter 117, Article III entitled Subdivisions. <br />Comprehensive Plan: The Property is guided for Town Center Mixed Use in <br />the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Town Center Mixed Use area is to <br />establish a community hub that integrates places to work, play and live and <br />embraces transit oriented design in anticipation of the potential future commuter <br />rail station. As this area is located east of Armstrong Boulevard it is governed by <br />Town Center Master Plan which has been replaced by The COR Development <br />Plan. The COR Development Plan provides specific land use and design guidance <br />for land within its boundaries. <br />pyramid framework illustrates haw much discretion the. city Las to make land me demsi®a <br />ed on the rale i1 is playing_ <br />Variances <br />Q" Conditional <br />Use Permits -10 <br />Subdivision Applications <br />mEmimmi,PA <br />Zoning: The Property is currently zoned as COR which contains subdistricts. The property being proposed is within subdistrict <br />4B, the neighborhood subdistrict. This subdistrict is intended to include a full range of housing types, from small -lot single- <br />family detached to high -density senior and general apartments, as well as a limited number of small-scale retail and office uses <br />at appropriate locations (i.e., at corners). The 4b subdistrict is the medium density area in the COR-4 district allowing up to 15 <br />dwelling units per acre as it is located along higher volume roadways within the COR and along its perimeter. As proposed, the <br />density (including ROW) is 9.3 units per acre. The proposed development contains 40 units over 4.30 +/- acres. The Applicant <br />has not provided the amount of ROW to be included and as a result the residential density figure will increase but is not <br />anticipated to increase above the allowed fifteen (15) units/acre. <br />Dimensional Standards for The COR 4 Neighborhood Subdistrict: The Applicant has not shown any driveways at this <br />time. All driveways will be required to meet the length requirement of 25 feet. Length of driveways will need to be provided by <br />the Applicant with the Preliminary Plat to verify compliance. The general form and description of the proposed development <br />would appear consistent with the intent of The COR design guidelines; however, the Applicant will need to provide section and <br />rendering descriptions of the housing product they intend for this location with the Final Plat to ensure final compatibility. <br />Provided below are the dimensional requirements relevant to this development proposal. <br />Standard <br />Requirement Proposed <br />Minimum Lot Width <br />
