Retail— Most of the existing farm buildings aside from the farm house are proposed as retail, due to size and desire to create an active neighborhood center. Urban Agriculture — Potential gardens proposed to support a restaurant use may be considered an accessory use. The addition of chicken coops and other uses that could be considered urban agriculture will likely be desired in order to reinforce sustainable, local and on -site food production. Farm Animals— Chickens used for food production in support of the proposed restaurant use will likely be desired in order to reinforce sustainable, local and on -site food production. Farmer's Market/Open Air Market— The farm character and theme of the project would allow an ideal location for small farmer's and open air markets. Restaurant— The timberline frontage, size and character of the existing farmhouse is ideal for a unique farm to fork restaurant setting. Food Catering/Small Food Product Preparation — The desire to use food products grown on site, and allow for small niche companies to prepare and cater food, will help Q o determine the overall success of this aspect of the project. Yoga Studio— A potential yoga studio is proposed with potential use as such in the Child Care Center during evening hours. 6. The applicant shall submit as evidence of successful completion of the applicable criteria, the completed documents pursuant to these regulations for each proposed use. The Planning Director may require, or the applicant may choose to submit, evidence that is beyond what is required in that section. Any variance from the criteria shall be described. Comments from the Conceptual Review are provided with this submittal. 7. Narrative description of how conflicts between land uses or disturbances to wetlands, natural habitats and features and or wildlife are being avoided to the maximum extent feasible or are mitigated. The primary land use conflict within the plans lies at the interface between the Buckinghorse Residences and the Jessup Farm Artisan Village. This conflict is avoided through landscape buffering greater than 75', utilizing berms, shrubs and trees as a landscape separation. 8. Written narrative addressing each concern/issue raised at the neighborhood meeting(s), if a meeting has been held. The primary concern raised at the neighborhood meeting involved project schedule and ensuring that the construction begins soon. The three projects comprising this submittal are priority projects which will be constructed within two years of entitlement. 9. Name of the project as well as any previous name the project may have had during Conceptual Review. shall perform trash removal within common areas, parks, trails, and other non -private lots. 4. Estimate of number of employees for business, commercial, and industrial uses. Retail employees — 20+/- Restaurant employees — 20+/- Commercial employees (daycare) — 8+/- Light Industrial employees — 45+/- 5. Description of rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the applicant. The neighborhood center for this overall project was previously shown along Nancy Gray Ave. as a mixed -use amenity fronting the street with limited parking and limited public gathering space. This proposal relocates the neighborhood center to the Jessup Farm Artisan Village. This property was previously defined as Outlot C. Adaptive reuse f the structures was not defined in the previous proposal. Utilizing the Jessup Farm Artisan Village as the neighborhood center allows the adaptive re -use of the farm structures to drive the project and is consistent with goals from City Plan and Historic Preservation Staff. The re -use of the farm house buildings creates a historic basis and theme for the overall project and promotes a sense of community heritage — representing one of the most unique ad tive re- s projects in the community. This strategy requires thettddition of f rmitted Vees in order to work, primarily due to the size and potential for the farm buildings to be used successfully. We believe that a critical mass of small retail is required for long term success as a neighborhood center and the current permitted uses do not allow what is feasible within these small structures. Assumptions have been made for the proposed addition of permitted uses within the Jessup Farm Artisan Village based on existing permitted uses from the 2003 ODP Amendment titled Johnson Farm Overall Development Plan. These are listed as follows: Permitted uses based on the 2003 ODP Amendment: • Offices/Financial Services/Clinics • Mixed Use DUs • Artisan/Photography and Gallery/Studio • Plant Nurseries • Vet Facilities and Small Animal Clinics • Bed and Breakfast • Child Care Center • Equipment Rental without outdoor storage • Recreational Uses Proposed additional permitted uses (outlined in the Buckinghorse ODP): • Retail • Urban Agriculture • Farm Animals 3 Co r. h tic N �•t oNA•c S •rP ®,ee—, eTyr+cfrL aCv�zoPM�-,,.T G A-s . etc .,• complements the detached walkways and promotes walking as an efficient means of transportation and pleasant activity. 2. Description of proposed open space, wetlands, natural habitats and features, landscaping, circulation, transition areas, and associated buffering on site and in the general vicinity of the project. An interconnected open - space trail system from the Detached Single Family area to the Jessup Farm Artisan Village is provided at the north edge of the project as well as a passive use park within the Detached Single Family area. In addition, each townhome block contains a community lawn and gathering area with amenities. The Jessup Farm Artisan Village will provide an overall community plaza for events and use by residents as well. 3.

Buckinghorse First Filing Statement of Proposed Planning Objectives 4.4.2012 This project shall be titled Buckinghorse, First Filing. The overall project has previously been titled Johnson Farm and Sidehill. The project components are defined as the following: Buckinghorse Jessup Farm Artisan Village being a replat of Outlot C, Sidehill, Filing 2 5.27.05. Buckinghorse Townhomes, being a replat of lots 1-26 and Tracts AM, AN, AO, Block 2; Lots 1-28 and Tracts AP, AQ, AR, Block 3; Lots 40-45, Block 1; of Sidehill - Filing 2 5.27.05; and Lots 1-19, G-1 through G-19, and Tract A of Sidehill - Filing Three 6.1.2007. Buckinghorse Residences, being a replat of Lots 3-6, Block 4; Sidehill, Filing 2 5.27.05 This project will include development within two existing zoning districts including LMN and Industrial, with three separate developments proposed. These include the Jessup Farm Artisan Village within the Industrial zone district in the northwest corner of the property, Buckinghorse Townhomes (Single Family Attached) units within the LMN zone district along the western edge adjacent to Timberline Rd. and and Buckinghorse Residences single family detached units to the south of the Jessup Farm Artisan Village along the north eastern edge within the LMN zone district. Following is a list of City Plan principles and policies achieved by the proposed plan: ENV 4.3 - Improve Water Quality and Detention Storm water facilities will be designed to maximize water quality in each component of the development. At Jessup Farm, bioswales will be used to capture runoff from roofs, plazas and parking lots and will be conveyed into a modified version of the existing silage pit which will act as a large water quality bio-swale, ensuring water quality enhancements prior to the water entering the detention pond at the northeast corner. The Jessup Farm Townhomes will accommodate bioswales running into all sidewalk chases, ensuring water quality prior to storm water entering the flow line along road edges. The single family area will utilize a large storm water bioswale at the northeast portion of the site, planted with native vegetation, not turf. ENV 4.4 - Provide Neighborhood Natural Areas Trails and connections included within the Single Family area and Jessup Farm will include native plantings and wetlands based around storm water infrastructure. LIV 4: Development will provide and pay its share of the cost of providing needed public facilities and services concurrent with development. All roads, access points, sidewalks and street trees/roadway landscaping within the project will be paid for by the developer, including landscape treatments along Timberline.
