R. Section 3.6.3 — Street Pattern and Connectivity Standards
The basic layout of the street system was established and partially constructed under
previously approved plans. Bucking Horse P.D.P. does not alter this existing pattern. The
only new connection is that the private driveway for Jessup Farm Artisan Village intersects
with Blackbird Drive in alignment with Scarecrow Drive. This private,drive includes
detached sidewalks on both sides with trees in the parkway thus replicating a public street
and providing a highly visible entrance to the center.
S. Section 3.6.4 — Transportation Level of Service Requirements
As mentioned, the P.D.P. does not modify the existing street network but at the same time,
significantly enhances the off-street trail system. The P.D.P. continues to adequately
provide vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle facilities necessary to maintain the City's adopted
Level of Service standards.
T. Section 3.8.4 — Child Care Regulations
This section requires a minimum amount of outdoor play area based on the capacity of the
child care building which is defined as 40 square feet per child. At 4,850 square feet, the
defined capacity of 121 children would require a minimum outdoor play area of 10,450
feet. The size of the outdoor play area provided is 12,300 feet thus exceeding the
standard. (Note that standard goes on to say that since all children would not be using the
play area at the same time, the size may be reduced based on 50% of capacity or 61
children. With this provision, the size of the outdoor play area exceeds the standard.)
U. Section 3.8.10 — Single Family Attached Parking
The Townhomes are on individually platted lots and are considered single family attached
dwellings. Since the lot Widths are less than 40 feet, two off-street parking spaces are
required. Each single family attached dwelling is provided its own two -car driveway and
garage thus complying with the standard.
7. Neighborhood Meeting:
A neighborhood meeting was held on March 19, in conjunction with the Request for
Additions of Permitted Use and Amended Overall Development Plan. At both the
neighborhood meeting and the public hearing of May 17, 2012, there was public support
for the project.

The following condition of approval was imposed upon the agricultural activities associated
with the Jessup Farm Artisan Village:
For the Agricultural Activities (farm animals) on the Jessup Farm, within the
Bucking Horse O.D.P. the number of such animals shall be limited to no more
than 24 chickens, no roosters, and shall be subject to regulations of Chapter
4-117 of the City Code, with the exception of maximum allowable quantity.
The P.D.P. complies with this condition of approval.
O. Section 3.5.2(C) — Relationship of Dwellings to Streets and Parking
For the Townhomes, all entrances face either the public street or central green and are
connected to the public sidewalk by a distance of no greater than 200 feet. The required
minimum 15-foot front setback is maintained for those units that directly face a public
street.
P. Section 3.5.3(8)(1) — Relationship of Commercial Buildings to Streets, Walkways
and Parking
The only new commercial building is the child care center. It is intentionally located at the
corner of Timberline and Blackbird Drive so that there is no parking lot adjoining either
public street. By design, the fenced outdoor play area is located on the opposite side of
the building from Timberline Road in order to buffer the play area from the noise of the
major arterial roadway. The connecting walkway will be provided to the public sidewalk on
Timberline Road as the area between the building and Blackbird Drive is the fenced
outdoor play area.
Q. Section 3.5.3(8)(2) — Orientation to Build -to Lines for Streetfront Buildings
The child care building exceeds the required build -to line for Timberline (10 — 25 feet) by
being setback 39 feet. The building also exceeds the build -to line for Blackbird Drive (15
feet) by being setback 35 feet. This is primarily because of the placement of the outdoor
play area as far from Timberline Road as possible.
Exceptions to the build -to line are permissible under Section 3.5.3(B)(2)(d) if the building
abuts a four or six lane arterial and if the commercial building is well connected to other
destinations. A connection to Blackbird Drive would impact the security established by the
fencing for the outdoor play area. In this case, the child care center is conveniently located
to both the residential area to the south and the balance of Artisan Village to the north and
east. Also, the building placement accomplishes the basic purpose of the standard in that
there is no parking lot between the building and the two public streets.
Bucking Horse Project Development Plan, #PDP 120001

consistent with the child care building. Brackets, covered entries and upper level light
windows add detail and help break up the mass.
Overall, the Townhomes, Artisan Village child care building and the three industrial
buildings share a consistent theme with each demonstrating a sufficient level of detail
commensurate with its location and function.
L. Section 3.5.1 — Architectural Character — Condition of Approval — Standard
Restaurant Architecture
The following condition was imposed upon the rehabilitation of the main farmhouse on the
Jessup Farm Artisan Village:
For the Standard Restaurant in the Industrial zone, there shall be no exterior
alterations or additions as a result of the conversion that would jeopardize the
ability to obtain local landmark designation.
The rehabilitation and addition to the main farmhouse for conversion to a standard
restaurant include small additions to the north and south set back from the front building
line which faces west onto Timberline Road. A small addition is planned for the east
elevation as well. The north addition includes an outdoor dining patio. The proposed
additions have been reviewed by the Landmark Preservation Commission and found to be
in compliance with Chapter 14 of the City Code. Further, staff finds that the additions are
in compliance with Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code. Accordingly, the condition of
approval has been satisfied.
M. Section 3.5.1(1) — Outdoor Storage and Condition of Approval
The following condition of approval was imposed upon the industrial buildings in the
Jessup Farm:
There shall be no outside operational activities or storage associated with the
light industrial uses within the Jessup Farm — Artisan Village.
The P.D.P. complies with this condition of approval.
N. Section 3.5.1(J) — Operational/Physical Compatibility Standards and Condition of
Approval
Bucking Horse Project Development Plan, #PDP 120001
June 21, 2012 P & Z Hearing
Page 10
J. Section 3.4.7 — Historic and Cultural Resources
The existing buildings associated with the Jessup Farm are determined to be eligible for
local landmark designation. The P.D.P. preserves and rehabilitates all existing buildings
within the Jessup Farm thus protecting and enhancing the historic and architectural value
of the historic resource.
The new buildings associated with Jessup Farm Artisan Village and industrial areas are
designed to be in character with the historic structures. Further, existing mature
landscaping is preserved to the maximum extent feasible.
The P.D.P. has been reviewed by the Landmark Preservation Commission and has been
found to be in compliance with Chapter 14 of the City Code.
K. Section 3.5.1— Building and Project Compatibility
For the two-story Townhomes, the primary design feature is the orientation to either the
central green or the public streets. Front porches are provided with direct connecting
walkways. It is noteworthy that the porches do not appear to be of a token size but range
in length from 22 feet on the end units to 16 feet on the interior units. All garages are in
the rear and served by a common private driveway. The architecture includes brick or
stone veneer along the first story with cementious lap siding on the second story. The
walls are further defined by cementious shingles or vertical board and batten siding under
the shed -roof dormers. Articulation is provided by generous use of projecting window
bays. All roofs are pitched contributing to the traditional neighborhood character. The
Townhomes are found to be well -designed and compatible with the existing multi -family
structures in Sidehill.
For the Jessup Farm Artisan Village, existing historic structures will be renovated with no
architectural deviation from the existing character. The new one-story child care building
will feature a combination of brick or stone veneer and lap siding with stucco above the
first floor within the gable. The pitched roof adds a residential character to the structure. A
clerestory punctuates the roofline and breaks up the vertical mass. Gable ends and three
roof planes add dimensionality. A combination of windows storefront glazing minimizes
the horizontal mass. The overall character is sympathetic and sensitive to the existing
historic structures.
For the industrial area, the three buildings are similar to the child care building but with less
articulation. Being below the hill and along the railroad tracks, these buildings are not
required to be as detailed due to the lack of visibility.
The buildings continue the pitched roof theme with gable features that highlight the
entrances. The large gables exceed the height of the main roof adding character. The
same brick or stone veneer is carried across the lower level followed by lap siding which is

As with the parking for the neighborhood center, the applicant maintains that it is prudent
to apply the Alternative Compliance standard to the industrial buildings as well in order to
determine compliance with criteria even though the end -users are not known at this time.
The applicant contends that the 89 spaces is a reasonable number that would allow up to
118 employees. The area does not have any opportunity for shared parking with adjacent
users and is isolated by the existing railroad. The number of spaces is the best estimate
based on a forecast of market demand for industrial space at this location. The number
does not result in excessive parking which standard is specifically intended to address.
Staff has evaluated the request for Alternative Compliance and finds that the proposed
number of 89 spaces to serve 41,000 square feet of industrial square footage distributed
among three separate buildings with no specific known end -user is justified based on
compliance with the following criteria:
The proposed 89 spaces results in a parking lot that accomplishes the
purpose of the standard which is to not allow an excessive amount of parking
spaces and that the fundamental purpose of the standard is not impaired.
• The 89-space parking lot of the three industrial buildings does not detract
from the continuity, connectivity and convenient proximity for pedestrians
between or among existing or future uses in the vicinity.
• The parking lot is adequately screened from view from the neighborhood and
Timberline Road by a combination of distance, landscaping and terrain.
• The parking lot is specifically designed to minimize the visual and aesthetic
impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
• The parking lot does not impact any facilities serving alternative modes of
transportation.
• The parking lot creates no detrimental impacts on natural areas or features.
• The parking maintains required handicap parking ratios.
Section 3.2.4 - Lighting
Lighting for Jessup Farm Artisan Village and industrial area was evaluated based on the
criteria related to light trespass onto adjoining residential areas. There are no illumination
levels that exceed one -tenth (0.1) foot-candle as measured 20 feet beyond the property
line thus complying with the standard.
Bucking Horse Project Development Plan, #PDP 120001

opposed to typical retail where customer traffic is spread out over a longer timeframe. In
addition, the agricultural activities may include a community garden for which there is no
data or history as to parking demand. The mix of uses anticipated for Artisan Village is
unique and formulaic parking ratios may not be applicable in this particular case.
Staff has evaluated the request for Alternative Compliance and finds that the increase of
14 spaces over the maximum allowed for typical shopping center is justified based on
compliance with the following criteria:
• The proposed alternative number of spaces accomplishes the purpose of the
standard which is to not allow an excessive amount of parking spaces that
was often found in typical suburban shopping centers up until the adoption
the Land Use Code in 1997. By exceeding the maximum by only 14 spaces,
the fundamental purpose of the standard is not impaired.
• The extra 14 spaces do not detract from the continuity, connectivity and
convenient proximity for pedestrians between or among existing or future
uses in the vicinity.
• The 83-space parking lot. is adequately screened from view from the
neighborhood and Timberline Road by a combination of distance,
landscaping and the arrangement of buildings.
• The parking lot is specifically designed to minimize the visual and aesthetic
impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
• The parking lot does not impact any facilities serving alternative modes of
transportation.
• The parking lot creates no detrimental impacts on natural areas or features.
• The parking maintains required handicap parking ratios.
H. Section 3.2.2(K)(2) — Nonresidential Parking — Industrial
The Jessup Farm contains three industrial buildings containing a total of 41,000 square
feet. These buildings are below the hill from Artisan Village, close to the railroad tracks
and not considered to be part of the neighborhood center. The maximum allowable
parking for industry is .75 per employee. A total of 89 spaces are provided which
translates to serving 119 employees. Since the number of employees and the tenant mix
are not known at this time, the number of spaces represents an estimation of the parking
demand.

In general, the site is served by a network of public streets and enhanced with an off-street
trail system designed to provide convenient access to Artisan Village, which also acts as
the neighborhood center for the overall P.D.P.
E. Section 3.2.2(J) — Parking Lot Setback
This standard requires that parking lots be setback from arterial streets by 15 feet. The
only non-residential parking lot is in Artisan Village and it is setback from Timberline Road
by 20 feet at the narrowest point.
F. Section 3.2.2(K) — Parking — Child Care Center
This section requires that the child care centers provide a minimum of two parking spaces
per three employees or one parking space per 1,000 square feet of floor area whichever is
greater. The end -user of the child care facility is not known at this time.
Nine spaces are provided directly in front of the child care center. Nine spaces would
allow up to 13 employees. Or, with 4,850 square feet, the facility would be required to
provide five spaces. Since 13 employees generates the highest number of required
spaces, and since 13 employees for a child care center would be considered on the high
side, parking for the child care center is determined to be acceptable and in compliance
with the standard. The 83-space parking lot is intended to serve all users based on
different periods of demand and would be sufficient to handle any extra parking due to the
typical operating times of a child care center not conflicting with the other uses such as
retail, standard restaurant and farmers market.
G. Section 3.2.2(K) (2) (3) — Non-residential Parking — Artisan Village
Artisan Village is intended to act as neighborhood center as envisioned under the L-M-N
zone. As a center, the allowable parking maximum is based on five spaces per 1,000
square feet of gross leasable area. Maximum allowable parking is not based on each
individual use within the center. With 13,850 square feet, the center would be allowed a
maximum of 69 spaces. The center provides 83 spaces which exceeds the maximum
allowed by 14.
The Alternative Compliance section allows for the number of parking spaces for non-
residential land uses to exceed the maximum allowable based on unique circumstances
and upon fulfilling the requisite criteria.
The applicant contends that Artisan Village contains a mix of uses not typically found in
other centers. For example, permitted uses within Artisan Village include the
aforementioned child care center, standard restaurant, retail, farmers market, agricultural
activities and limited indoor recreation.. In particular, the farmers market is intended to
capture a significant number of customers during a concentrated period of time as
Bucking Horse Project Development Plan, #PDP 120001

For the Townhomes, there will be a continuous treatment of plant material along the
western edge that functions as a landscape buffer to Timberline Road. This area is a
meandering common area that provides a range of 14 to 28 feet of landscaped area to the
perimeter common fence.
For Jessup Farm Artisan Village, the landscape treatment is generous. First, there is a
significant buffer for the benefit of the single family detached dwellings that front on
Blackbird Drive and Blue Yonder Way. This area ranges in distance from 50 to 95 feet.
Second, as with the Townhomes, there is a landscape buffer along Timberline Road that
ranges from 20 to 55 feet. Third, there is a landscaped plaza that will be the site of the
farmers market. Fourth, the private entrance drive will feature detached sidewalks on both
sides with street trees in the parkway planted at intervals that replicate a public street.
B. Section 3.2.1(E) — Parking Lot Interior and Perimeter Landscaping
For the Townhomes, the parking lots are interior to the blocks and thus screened from
public view. For Jessup Farm Artisan Village, the 83-space parking lot is screened from
Timberline Road by trees and shrubs. Further, the interior of the lot provides 6%
landscaping in the form of islands.
C. Section 3.2.1(F) — Tree Protection and Replacement
As would be expected, all the existing trees are located on the Jessup Farm and have
been evaluated by the City Forester. Of the total 46 existing trees, 22 will be protected
and 24 will be removed. Of the 24 to be removed, 14 are defined as nuisance trees and
require no mitigation. Of the ten trees to be removed that are not nuisance trees, they will
be replaced by 22 mitigation trees. This mitigation schedule has been approved by the
City Forester.
D. Section 3.2.2 — Access Circulation and Parking
The fundamental circulation system is characterized by public streets and sidewalks as
originally constructed by the former development. To supplement this system, Bucking
Horse now includes a trail system that links the Residences to Artisan Village. This trail
system follows the railroad right-of-way and connects the southern most lots to the Artisan
Village on the north. Ultimately, with development of future phases to the south, the trail
will connect to the planned neighborhood park and Johnson Farm.
An east — west spur bisects the Yearling Drive, the longest cul-de-sac in the project with an
outlet onto Blackbird Drive in close proximity to Artisan Village. In addition, a trail connects
Yearling Drive to Kerry Hill Drive and ties into the 1.2 acre detention pond / open space.

Page 5
Overall, the L-M-N portion of Bucking Horse P.D.P. remains in compliance with the
applicable land use and development standards of the L-M-N district.
5. Compliance with Applicable Land Use and Development Industrial Standards:
A. Section 4.28(E)(2) — Child Care Center— Building Design
This standard requires that in the Industrial zone, child care centers must comply with
Section 3.5.3. This standard contains requirements for connecting walkways, build -to lines
and minimum architectural standards. Compliance with these standards are discussed
below in the corresponding sub -section regarding compliance with the General
Development Standards of Article Three.
B. Section 4.28(E)(2)(3) — Building Design and Site Design
For the three industrial buildings in the Jessup Farm, the buildings comply with
requirement that building character and color be neutral with a medium or dark color range
and not white, bright, or reflective. The buildings were specifically designed with
architectural form, character and materials to be sensitive to the buildings in Jessup Farm
that are eligible to be designated has local historic landmarks. With regard to screening, a
condition of approval at the Overall Development Plan stage prohibits outside storage or
industrial activities.
In general, the location of the three industrial buildings is below the hill of the Jessup Farm
and adjoins the railroad tracks beyond which are commercial and institutional buildings.
This location obviates the need for landscaped yards along arterial streets and buffering
residential land uses.
6. Compliance with Applicable General Development Standards:
A. Section 3.2.1 — Landscaping and Tree Protection
There are seven local streets, one collector street and one major arterial street contained
within the P.D.P. All streets will be landscaped with street trees in the parkway and
spaced at the proper intervals.
For the Residences, the street trees will be planted at a rate of one tree per lot as
averaged over the block face. Further, all existing trees within the 1.2 acre stormwater
detention pond/open space will be preserved.

Section 2.3.2(H)(7) — "Any standards relating to housing density and mix of uses will
be applied over the entire overall development plan, not on each individual project
development plan review."
The L-M-N phase of Bucking Horse P.D.P. includes the following breakdown
Dwelling Units Acres D.U./A
Residences 126 30 4.20
Townhomes 90 8.14 11.0
Total 216 38.14 5.66
The proposed density complies with the L-M-N standard that density not be lower than 4.0
or greater than 9.0 dwelling units per acre. As can be seen by the table, the P.D.P., by
itself, complies with the L-M-N density standard at 5.66 dwelling units per acre.
Regarding the mix of housing types, however, a P.D.P. with greater than 30 acres is
required to have four housing types. The L-M-N phase of Bucking Horse P.D.P. includes
only the following three housing types:
• Single family detached with front or side loaded garages
• Small lot single family detached
• Single family attached
Since the Overall Development Plan includes multi -family in a future phase, the
requirement for four housing types, in accordance with Section 2.3.2(H)(7), remains
satisfied. Bucking Horse P.D.P., therefore complies with the governing Overall
Development Plan.
4. Compliance with Applicable Land Use and Development L-M-N Standards:
For the Residences, Bucking Horse P.D.P. represents a replat of the expired Side Hill
Filing Two which as Final Plan, was found to be in compliance with all applicable L-M-N
standards at the time of its initial approval. The Residences is practically identical to Side
Hill Filing Two with the exception of enhancing the off-street trail system. Also, the five
additional single family lots along Blackbird Drive that are being added, while zoned
Industrial, will be experienced as if they were part of the L-M-N district.
The primary difference is the location, size, and scale of the neighborhood center. A
Modification of Standard was granted at the Overall Development Plan stage that allowed
the former Sidehill neighborhood center to be shifted to the Jessup Farm Artisan Village
and exceed five acres in size. This Modification was granted because the Bucking Horse
neighborhood center was found to be superior to the Sidehill neighborhood by all pertinent
criteria.

In 2001, in anticipation of the Johnson Property O.D.P., T, Transition zoning was replaced
with the following:
Urban Estate 85.51 acres
Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood 97.03 acres
Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood 30.09 acres
Industrial 14.05 acres
Johnson Property O.D.P. approved in April of 2002, 227 acres
Johnson Property Amended O.D.P. approved in February of 2003, 227 acres
Sidehill Filing One (partially completed, and not a part of the Bucking Horse O.D.P.) was
approved in November of 2003 and contains 218 acres.
Sidehill Filing Two (partially completed with vacant portions now included in Bucking Horse
O.D.P.) was approved in August of 2005 and contains 179 acres.
Sidehill Filing Three was a replat of Sidehill Filing One and contains only 19 lots.
On May 17, 2012, the Planning and Zoning Board approved the Bucking Horse request for
eight Additions of Permitted Use divided among three zone districts and a Modification of
Standard to allow a neighborhood center exceeding five acres to be located in the
Industrial zone. These additions were considered in conjunction with the Bucking Horse
Amended Overall Development Plan which was also approved on May 17, 2012. The five
additions of permitted use that relate to the P.D.P. are retail, standard restaurant,
agricultural activities, farmers market and single family detached dwellings.
3. Compliance with the Additions of Permitted Use and Overall Development
Plan:
As mentioned, five Additions of Permitted Use for the Jessup Farm Artisan Village were
approved in conjunction with the O.D.P. on May 17, 2012. These five uses, along with the
stated permitted uses as indicated on the approved O.D.P., will comprise the Industrial
district. The P.D.P. includes only those uses as so stated on the approved Overall
Development Plan.
The O.D.P. was evaluated by the criteria of Section 2.3.2(H)(1- 7). With regard to the L-M-
N portion of the Project Development Plan, the following standard is particularly
noteworthy:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The P.D.P represents the first phase (51 acres) of the recently adopted (May 17, 2012)
Bucking Horse O.D.P. (153 acres). The O.D.P. was approved with Additions of Permitted
Use to allow a greater mix of land uses on the Jessup Farm Artisan Village parcel that is
zoned I, Industrial. The additional uses are retail, standard restaurant, agricultural
activities, farmers market and single family detached dwellings. The O.D.P. was granted a
Modification of Standard to allow a neighborhood center, as envisioned and required under
the L-M-N zone, to be applied instead to the parcel zoned Industrial and contain more than
five acres. Bucking Horse P.D.P. is in conformance with the Overall Development Plan.
The P.D.P. demonstrates compliance with the applicable conditions of approval imposed
at the O. D.P. stage.
The P.D.P. is divided between two zone districts, L-M-N and Industrial. The P.D.P.
complies with the applicable land use and development standards in these two zone
districts. The P.D:P. also complies with the applicable General Development Standards in
Article Three.
