Review File: Sapphire Final Plat and Site Plan <br />March 28, 2019 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Summary of Recommended/Advisory Changes <br />1. Expand dog park area to envelope the nine (9) parking spaces currently shown to the north of the dog <br />park area. The proposed parking spots provided is nine (9) more than are required and as a result it is <br />Staffs opinion that eliminating unrequired parking spaces to expand green space and the amenity <br />would be a benefit to the project and future residents. <br />2. Move pool from being adjacent to the Parkway to being adjacent to Center Street. <br />Final Plat Review: <br />General. The Final Plat proposes re -platting Outlot A, <br />COR Parkview Addition into one (1) new lot for a <br />proposed 118 unit apartment complex. The lot would be <br />accessed by an extension of 145th Ave NW. <br />Land Use and Zoning. The Subject Property is guided <br />Mixed Use in the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned COR- <br />M Mixed Use. The intent of this district is to be the most <br />urban of all sub -districts in the COR and will be developed <br />with a very urban pattern. Great parks and great streets, <br />encourage intensified levels of activity, support the <br />proposed mix of uses, invite community gathering and <br />accommodate special events throughout the year. <br />The pyramid framework illustrates now murk discretion the city has to rake /and use decisions <br />based on the role it is playing. <br />QQv <br />y <br />Variances <br />Conditional <br />Use permits <br />SO <br />• <br />Subdivision Applications <br />Site Plan Review: <br />Site Development. Framework standards that address building location, organization of space and parking <br />options tend to focus on what can be measured — dimensions, setbacks, number of spaces and so on. Bu tin <br />addition to these issues, the Design Framework also describes the aesthetic qualities and design character of a <br />preferred "urban form" for the Mixed Use Core. The compact and higher density blocks that define this sub- <br />district encourage a mix of uses, with a continuous built edge along street frontage. Innovative parking strategies <br />support this mix, providing easy access to destination shopping, restaurant and entertainment venues. Together <br />these elements will promote the core area as the center of activity — the place to see and be seen within The <br />COR. <br />Architecture. Buildings in the Mixed Use Core will play a major role in defining the overall character of The <br />COR. The proposed mix of uses for this signature destination suggests the potential for a variety of building <br />types, demanding creativity and innovation to highlight unique architecture, while knitting the entire sub -district <br />together as a coherent whole. Overall building design is an important consideration, but emphasis on first floor <br />facade treatments is essential to encourage street -level activity and enhance the pedestrian experience. <br />Architecture to be '4-sided' at all locations visible to public areas. Emphasis will be on great design along public <br />street frontage. <br />COR 1 Development <br />Standards <br />Downtown Street <br />Proposed <br />Parkway Street <br />Proposed <br />Minimum Lot Size <br />None <br />3.89 Acres <br />None <br />3.89 Acres <br />Minimum Lot Width <br />20 feet <br />—300 Feet <br />20 feet <br />—300 Feet <br />Minimum Lot Depth <br />80 feet <br />—360 Feet <br />80 feet <br />—360 Feet <br />Allowable residential density <br />>15 DU/Acre <br />30.3 DU/Acre <br />>15 DU/Acre <br />30.3 DU/Acre <br />
