City Council Legacy at Woods Edge March 8, 2004 Development Stacie Plan Approval. Staff makes the following findings with regard to the Development Stage Plan Review Criteria as established in Section 2.8.d of the City's Zoning Ordinance: 1. The developer will be required to submit an Operation and Maintenance Agreement to insure adequate property control is provided to protect the individual owners' rights and property values and the public responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of the development. 2. The proposed street improvements, including those proposed for Lake Drive, will not create congestion or dangers and is adequate for the safety of the proposed project residents and the general public. 3. Open space as required in the development standards is provided. 4. The architectural framework as provided for in the design standards will insure compatibility with the surrounding area. 5. The drainage and utility system plans are being designed by the City's consulting engineer and are in accordance with city requirements. 6. The developer will be required to submit a development schedule to insure a logical development of the site which will protect the public interest and conserve land. RECOMMENDATION The intent of the rezoning to Planned Unit Development and the approval of the Development Stage Plan is to establish the overall regulatory framework, unique to the development, while allowing flexibility for individual site design. It is anticipated that modifications to building size, number and placement will happen as the project develops. However, such modifications will be subject to the requirements set forth in the Design Standards. There are several steps in the process that will commence following approval of the rezoning and Development Stage Plan. These include, but are not limited to, preparation and evaluation of the public improvement feasibility study, financial analysis, operation and maintenance agreement and the development agreement. These items will need to be completed and approved in conjunction with the final plan approval. Generally, the proposed development is consistent with the original Calthorpe Master Plan and Design Standards. The Hartford Group has been very receptive to design modifications to insure a high quality development. There are some further changes and clarifications that need to be incorporated into the final plan as suggested in this report. Additionally, design items such as the streetscaping element will go through further modification and review as part of the Public Improvement Design process. 15
