| 09/18/2008 | JOHN BEALL | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN SE-08-37 Triple Crown Villas - Sarnoff Drive C-1 ZEFNP for an RCP under five acres Pantano East Area Plan 09/18/08 rh This is a Special Exception request for an RCP under five acres in the C-1 zone. The proposed development is for 30 two-story townhomes on a 2.6 acre site with primary access from Sarnoff Drive (designated a collector street on the MS&R map). The site is bordered on the east by a multi-story apartment complex zoned C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial), on the north by one-story single-family residential development in the R-1 zone (low density residential up to six units per acre), on the west by office/commercial uses zoned C-1, and on the south commercial uses zoned C-1 and C-2 (Community Commercial). The zoning site is located within the boundaries of the Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP). The General Plan and Design Guidelines Manual also provide policy and guidance for the proposed land use. Plan Policy Summary: The site is within the Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) which supports infill development projects and support a variety of housing types, including townhouses that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions and adhere to relevant site and architectural design guidelines. Medium-density residential (up to 15 units per acre) is allowed where access is provided from a collector street. General Plan policies encourage new residential development that contributes to the visual character of the neighborhood and promotes neighborhood identity. Policies promote quality and safety in design, and compatibility with and adequate buffering of surrounding development. Discussion The applicant attended a presubmittal meeting with staff on May 28, 2008 and held a neighborhood meeting on July 7, 2008. The minutes of the meeting indicated that only the Ward 2 Council aid attended meeting. The proposal for medium-density (up to 15 units per acre) is allowed along collector streets, such as Sarnoff Drive, in both the PEAP and the General Plan. Recommendation The requested use and residential density is consistent with the Plans. A plan amendment is not required. It is recommended that this request be accepted for processing. At the time of submittal staff will focus on the following: 1. The proposed RCP project addresses compatibility with adjacent uses. 2. The applicant proposes two story residential units, up to twenty-four feet in height. Two-story can be allowed if the sides of the units along the north edge of the site have clerestory windows and no balconies to preserve privacy to the north. 3. To promote visual interest, architectural front elevations (i.e., when viewed from the internal street), including the architectural style, building elevation, and exterior colors, shall not be repeated more often than every other lot. 4. To provide shade along the street, a canopy tree (minimum 15-gallon size) needs to be planted in front of, at a minimum, every other lot. 5. Plan policies support a centralized recreational area with amenities and that those facilities be accessible to the handicapped. Plan Policies Pantano East Area Plan Residential Policy 1.
