Please feel free to propose any edits and I'll make the updates as needed. In March, Forestbrook Estates (Developer) presented a preliminary concept plan (attached) of their proposed development. The concept plan consisted of a mixture of uses (e.g. single family, multi -family, commercial, etc.) and therefore required the development of a Planned Development District (PD). The submitted concept plan called for the single family residential to be SF -2 (see table below). Since that time, the Developer has proposed a reduction to the City's minimum standards as follows: • 40' wide by 115' deep lots (4,600 SF) • 50' wide by 80' deep lots (4,000 SF) o Developer has indicated that this sized lot will makeup approximately 15% of Phase 1(60 -acres) • 10' front yard setbacks. • Sidewalks directly behind back of curb. • Asphalt in lieu of concrete streets. Lot Area (SF) 7,500 Lot Width (FT) 60 Lot Depth (FT) 100 Front Yard Setback (FT) 25 The proposed modifications noted above are less than the minimum requirements for the City's most dense single family zoning district, SF -3 (see table below). Furthermore, the Developer has not provided an updated concept plan, although requested by City Staff, showing how these proposed lot modifications (quantity and location) will be incorporated into their Development. Lot Area (SF) 5,000 Lot Width (FT) 50 Lot Depth (FT) 100 Front Yard Setback (FT) 25 Since the Developer has proposed modifications to their original concept plan and those modifications result in an unknown quantity of lots that do not meet the minimum requirements of the City's zoning ordinance, it is my recommendation that Planning & Zoning and City Council table any action on this development until the Developer has submitted an updated preliminary plan and worked with City Staff to finalize this Planned Development District. The requirements of a Planned Development District are spelled out in the City's Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 9, Exhibit B, Section 8-300). Only at this time can Planning & Zoning and City Council truly review this proposed development and determine if it is in line with the City's vision for future developments.
