profile townhomes, adjacent to exiting residential, to larger, higher density uses to the south and east, along Hodgson Road. Site Plan The proposal includes 30 single level detached townhomes around the perimeter of the site. This will provide a nice transition from the existing single family homes on the north and west to the continuum of care building on the east side of the site. The continuum of care building includes three separate wings: a 4-story, 100-unit independent living apartment, a 3-story, 50-unit assisted living facility and a 2-story, 48- unit skilled nursing/memory care component. The site design transitions from single story townhomes on the west to the 2-level skilled nursing wing with the 3- and 4-story buildings closest to Hodgson Road. No details have been provided for the 6,000-square foot restaurant at this time, but the applicant intends to acquire the property and is working with a user to construct the restaurant as part of this project. More details are expected with the preliminary plat/PUD application. Architecture The Hodgson and CR J Master specifies architectural standard for development. The applicant has made a good effort to show intent to comply with those standards. The Master Plan states that buildings should emphasize articulated architecture on all facades of the building and design elements that include an expression of a building base of brick or stone, a middle, and a top with cornice elements. Section 1007.43(2)(b) of the Zoning Ordinance provides more detailed standards for townhome development. Specifically, the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum 18" overhang on gabled roof and variation in building materials. The Ordinance limits use of one type of exterior finish to 75% of the building and requires a minimum of 25% of the structure be finished with brick, stucco, and/or natural or artificial stone. Senior Building The building layout was designed to limit blank walls facing the street and the concepts drawing provided give some idea of the building architecture. The separate wings of the building help to break up the massing as well as transition intensity from west to east on the site. The building elevation appears to include a variety of exterior materials and articulation. Addition of a stronger base element should be considered. Detached Townhomes A formal townhome design is still being prepared. An example of the unit type and concept drawing where provided. However, there is not enough detail to provide meaningful feedback at this time The P&Z Board may wish to provide feedback on the 2
