The developer will be asking for flexibility on the following: • Lot Widths o The developer is proposing a variety of lot widths for the different product types being offered in the development, east of Oneka Parkway. Product Lot Width Number of Lots Villas (Capstone Homes) 55 feet 80 Single Family (Capstone Homes) 65 feet 41 Setbacks east Oneka Parkway o The developer is proposing a front yard setback of 25 feet where 30 feet is required by ordinance, a side yard setback of 7.5 feet where 10 feet is required by ordinance, and a 30 foot rear yard setback, which matches the required rear yard setback. In exchange for the proposed PUD, the developer is expected to have a higher quality development with valued amenities. The developer has not indicated what they would be giving back to the City in exchange of PUD flexibility, however, the developer has indicated the development will offer trail and sidewalk connections within the development and a public park. The Low Density Residential designation identifies areas for single-family detached homes and some two family homes directly related to other complementary uses. The Medium Density Residential designation's primary intent is to respond to a need for smaller homes on smaller lots. This designation offers the opportunity for housing that may expand opportunities for more affordable single family home living and changes in demographics, including smaller homes for empty nesters and smaller families. The medium density designation also describes the importance of preserving natural resources and amenities. The proposed concept plan is requesting flexibility to accommodate a higher density, smaller lot sizes, a variety of housing products, and preservation of natural resources. This is in line with the intent of the land uses present in the development. Staff will continue to work with the developer on their proposal to request a change in the zoning to Planned Unit Development as the project moves forward. Housing Types The developer has proposed all single family homes within the development, however a variety of products will be offered on three different lot sizes. Currently, Capstone Homes are proposing to construct the homes on the east side of Oneka Parkway. These homes consist of 80 villa homes on 55 foot lots and 41 single family homes on 65 foot lots. The 56 single family homes on the west side of Oneka Parkway are still open to builders, but are proposed to meet single family zoning district standards with 80-85 foot lots. Oneka Parkway provides a significant break in product type, however, staff is concerned about the layout proposed for the mix of products on the east side of Oneka Parkway. Staff recommends the layout is evaluated to ensure there is an appropriate transition between homes and product types.
