Generally speaking, low intensity residential uses are proposed in the southern portion 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. Examples of the proposed housing types have been submitted and are attached to this report. While finish materials have not been specified, building elevations illustrate a variety of roof styles, window and door treatments and are considered generally positive. Particularly positive are the attached townhome elevations where varied roof and window treatments promote dwelling unit individuality.
