Page 7 Density The maximum development density for a PUD in the R-3 zoning district is 4 units per net acre. The Low Density Residential (LD) land use designation identifies residential land uses developed between 2 units per net acre and 4 units per net acre. The applicant is proposing a residential net density of 1.9 units per net acre, which fits the requirements of a PUD. The eastern 40 acres is guided as Medium Density Residential (MD) in the land use plan and it identifies residential land uses developed between 3 units per net acre and 8 units per net acre. This area is designated as a greenway corridor in the Everton Avenue AUAR and has several wetlands throughout the property totaling approximately 22 acres, making it hard to develop into a residential development. A portion of this area is proposed to be dedicated for park dedication purposes to the City. Since the area is designated as a greenway corridor and there is guidance in the AUAR to preserve this area, it's in staff s opinion that this is a good use for the property instead of a residential development.

Development Phasing The applicant is proposing to construct the development in four phases. The phasing plan the applicant provided shows the phasing generally starting from the south at the end of Oneka Parkway and heading north. The first phase would start in 2018 and includes the platting of approximately 50 lots, with a combination of single family homes and villa homes with access off of Oneka Parkway and Ethan Trail. As development continues northward on the site in later phases of the development, connections will be made to Falcon Avenue and neighboring properties. Landscaping/ Signage The applicant has provided a full landscape plan. According to Section 90-181 Landscaping, each home site shall have two deciduous shade trees maintained in the front yard. The applicant is proposing to have two trees in the front yard of all lots. The landscape plan shows boulevard trees along the streets and landscape buffers along Oneka Parkway, where residential lots are adjacent to the road. The plan also shows a nicely landscaped area for a monument sign on Outlot H, and landscape buffers within the development creating a good transition to the proposed single family homes. The trees and landscaping proposed to be installed with the development is approximately 547 trees, which is more than what the ordinance requires. All of the landscaping within the outlots and along Oneka Parkway shall be maintained by the Home Owners Association. In addition to exceeding the landscape ordinance standards, the applicant is proposing to preserve some significant stands of trees that are currently on the property. It's in staffs opinion that the
