• Century Farm North Page 3 of 11 Unit types. The concept plan calls for four different housing types as summarized below. Unit Type Number of Units Single family (traditional) 34 Single Family (airpark)* 15 Single Family (detached townhomes) 75 Townhomes (traditional) 126 includes accessory airplane hangers It is the intent of the applicant to locate the varied housing types such that a transition in land use intensity exists. Generally speaking, low intensity residential uses are proposed in the southwestern corner of the site with higher density townhomes located in the northeast corner of the property. The proposed land use transition is consistent with the land use directives of the Comprehensive Plan and is considered a positive aspect of the development plan. While the location of the various unit types are considered acceptable, examples of the proposed housing types should be submitted for review as a condition of PDO approval. Density. As calculated below, the development proposal calls for a total of 250 dwelling units resulting in an overall net density of 2.89 units per acre. The proposed densities consistent with the directives of the Comprehensive Plan and are therefore considered acceptable. Street Configuration. The Carl Street/Century Trail extension through the site is considered positive as it fulfills a directive of the City's Transportation Plan. While the street is not a continuous, uninterrupted collector street route, the intersection in the southeast corner of the site is considered an acceptable compromise considering traffic speed related concerns voiced by area residents. Several issues regarding the proposed street configuration and resulting traffic flow do however exist as summarized below (see attached development plan alternative for graphic reference): Allowable Density (net) Units Acres (net) Proposed Density (net) Low density Up to 3 units /acre 27 13.9 1.95 units /acre Medium Density 3 to 6 units /acre 223 71.4 3.12 units /acre Total 250 85.3 2.93 units /acre The proposed densities consistent with the directives of the Comprehensive Plan and are therefore considered acceptable.
