The following staff report is based on the plan set prepared by Sathre-Bergquist, Inc. dated September 14, 2015 and Kurth Surveying, Inc. dated September 10, 2015. Both were received by the City on September 14, 2015. ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Housing Density The development proposes 27 single family homes, 17 twin homes (34 units total) and 75-100 senior housing rentals. These senior rentals would be similar to the existing brownstones located at Waverly Gardens to the south. West Parcel East Parc IrTotal Gross Acres 20 26 46 Net Acres (approx.) 14 24 38 Guided Per High Density Mixed Use Comprehensive Plan Residential Required Density 6.0 to 10.0 units 8.0-15.0 units per acre per acre Required # 84-140 units 192-360 units 276-500 units Housing Units Proposed # 136-161 units Housing Units Additional Housing 140 units Units Needed Note: These areas are approximate and more detailed analysis is required. The total number of housing unit counts will also change. Based on the information submitted with the concept plan, the development requires a minimum of approximately 276 housing units which equates to approximately 7 units per acre. The current proposal is at approximately 3.6 units per acre. The proposed development does not meet density requirements. Rezoning The property is currently zoned R, Rural and requires rezoning to PUD-Planned Unit Development. The PUD provides flexibility from the strict standards of the R-1, Single Family, R-2 Two Family Residential District and R-3 Medium Density Residential District to allow for a variety of detached single family and twin home housing products that are in current market demand vs. standard townhome medium density development. The PUD flexibility also compliments walkable neighborhoods, protects greenway corridors and reduces the development footprint and impervious surface area.
