3 <br />fence between units and community amenities including a pickle ball court and connected sidewalks. <br />Interior finishes include custom cabinets, quartz countertops, upscale trim, fireplaces and Luxury Vinyl <br />plank floors throughout. <br />For the areas outside of the individual townhouse lots and outside of the dedicated right-of-way, we are <br />proposing to establish as common open space that will be maintained by the HOA. Refer to the enclosed <br />Sheet C200 Site Plan for the concept layout, setbacks, townhouse types, area calculations, and off-street <br />parking. <br />Given that the proposed development is currently zoned as Village Mixed-Use (VMX), Article XIII of <br />the City’s Code requires that residential units occur at a density of 5-10 units per acre. Applying this <br />code requirement to the subject property, the range of residential units that can occur on the property <br />ranges from 26-50 units. As part of the PUD application, we are not seeking a density bonus. <br />Due to the size (5.09 Acres) and general configuration of the property, we are finding it unfeasible to <br />propose a public roadway that connects 39th Street and Sunflower Lane with a “thru-street” and still <br />meet the VMX Code’s minimum density of 5 units per acre. With this considered, we have proposed a <br />cul-de-sac roadway as shown that will have 30 residential units, thus resulting a density of 5.9 units per <br />acre. Additionally, based on various development layouts for the property that have been considered by <br />our team, we are finding that the roadway configuration as shown will yield the most optimal layout for <br />the site. <br />With the size and general configuration of the property as discussed above, we are finding it to be <br />unfeasible to meet certain requirements of Table 11-2 of the City’s Code Section 105.12.790, and yet <br />maintain the minimum density of 5 units per acre. More specifically, the following zoning code <br />requirements cannot be met and therefore we are seeking flexibility and applying for a Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD): <br />Interior Side Yard Setback: <br />- Required: 10’ lot line setback (20’ principal building structure separation) <br />- Proposed: 0’ lot line setback (10’ minimum principal building structure separation) <br />Minimum Lot Area: <br />- Required: 3,000 square feet <br />- Proposed: 1,856 – 2,436 square feet with zero-lot line setbacks, clustered layout which <br />averages to 6,039 square feet per unit when considering common open space being provided. <br />Maximum Impervious Coverage: <br />- Required: 75% max <br />- Proposed: 80% - 85% per lot with zero-lot line setbacks, clustered layout which averages to <br />43% per unit when considering common open space being provided. <br />A PUD will allow us to design a better use for the area that what would otherwise be required by the <br />Village Mixed-Use code, while meeting the minimum densities desired and as guided for in the <br />Comprehensive Plan. The rational and motivation for the PUD application is based on the following <br />identified objectives as outlined in Code Section 105.12.1130, where the mission is to create a well <br />situated and cohesive neighborhood that echoes the values, quality and architecture of the adjacent <br />properties and neighborhoods.
