3 Land use. Development of single family development on land guided for more intense use such as multi-family, commercial or industrial is not desirable and will create future conflicts. The proposed FUD rural cluster would need to be limited to properties guided for low density residential. Transportation. The City’s transportation plan establishes access spacing guidelines based on street functional classification. Direct driveway access to collector and arterial streets is not desirable. Locating new public streets to serve small four lot cluster is not cost effective and often may not meet the desired location for future access to surrounding properties. Parcels Affected. Staff has created a map showing the FUD parcels that are guided low density residential on the 2040 future land use plan with more than 20 acres to illustrate the number of parcels affected by this discussion. There are 16 parcels shown on the map where the urban cluster would apply. Several of these properties are immediately adjacent to municipal utilities and are currently being considered for development. Given the goal of retaining large lots in the MUSA and the limited number of landowners that would benefit from the cluster subdivision, staff is not recommending the change. The existing and drafted ordinance will still allow for existing habitable single family homes on 20 or more acres and built before 1992 to create a new lot with a minimum size of one acre for the existing home. Building Design Requirements Staff has prepared updates to the Multi-family and Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Building and Design standards to provide more guidance and promote higher quality design and material use in new construction. Multi-Family. The following principle changes are proposed: 1. All sides of building will be required to have 33% brick or stone instead of the “combined area”. Additionally, stucco was removed as an alternative for brick or stone. 2. A provision was added to require building articulation and prohibit blank walls. 3. A provision was added to require vertical design elements to distinguish lower and upper floors on multi-level buildings. Commercial, Industrial and Institutional. The following changes are proposed: 1. Breaks existing allowed material types into classes of primary material for use with building design. Adds wood as an approved material. 2. Changes minimum requirements for percentage of each material by class for commercial, industrial and institutional uses. 3. A provision was added to require horizontal design elements for buildings with a length
