Our analysis indicates that the property shown as <br />commercial is larger than what works as a balance of use, absorption demand and return <br />on investment. Therefore, we have reduced the commercial area and increased the other <br />areas, still generally following the intent of the plan. <br />Our vision combines both the city of Hugo's Comprehensive plan and what we have <br />determined to be land uses that are in demand in the marketplace. The site plan generally <br />designates areas for single family homes, townhomes, one level villas, one apartment <br />project of approximately 150 units (3 stories with underground heated parking), a senior <br />living facility, commercial sites that can include several restaurants and office buildings, <br />one gas station, one retail shopping center, and one hotel. <br />The entire development will be a coordinated master planned community. The <br />architecture will be similar to the design and materials in the retail and residential <br />developments to the west of the land along Frenchman Road (Victor Gardens), This <br />European style theme will be carried through all of the buildings in Oneka Commons. <br />
