3 <br />width of the garage shall not exceed 40 percent of the width of the entire <br />building façade that is fronting the primary street. <br />2. Landscaping standards. <br />• Change tree standard from 10 per lot to 10 per acre of building lot area. <br />3. Impervious surface standards. <br />• Change to address lot coverage and set the maximum area to 30%. <br />4. Trail and sidewalk standards. <br />• Staff is proposing adding “sidewalk” to this section of code to <br />encourage both trails and sidewalks in Open Space PUDs. Adding <br />sidewalks to this section allows developers to choose a combination of <br />trails and/or sidewalks for their project. <br />• Staff proposes changing language in this code to encourage that <br />sidewalks be constructed along the lot frontage on one side of the road. <br />• Staff also proposes additional language to encourage trail connections to <br />other developments and public places. <br />o There is flexibility in the language in this area of code to require <br />more than the sum of the centerline length of all public roads in <br />the development at the discretion of the community development <br />director or the city engineer. <br />D. Update Open Space PUD Review Procedure, 105.12.1080 <br />• Staff is proposing cleaning up language in this section for consistency. <br />See attached language. <br />E. 105.12.980-105.12.1110 <br />• Staff is proposing updates for all mentions of “planning director” to <br />“community development director”. <br /> <br />ALIGNS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br />Below are sections of the Comprehensive Plan that support the proposed text amendment.
