Overall Development Plan Revision dated (Too Be Submitted) Cargill Overall Development Han, ODP130005 Planning & Zoning Hearing January 9'", 2013 Page 4 In evaluating the request for the Cargill Overall Development Plan, ODP130005, Staff makes the following findings of fact. - A. The Cargill ODP is in compliance with the 2.3.2 Overall Development Plan Procedures and complies with the standards of Section 2.3.2(H)(1) through (7), summarized as follows: 1. The Cargill OPD is consistent with the permitted uses as well as Article 3 general development standards and Article 4 zone district standards that are applied at the level of detail required for an ODP. 2. The Cargill ODP does not include any residential uses specifically, but residential uses are permitted within the L-M-N District. Therefore, if a residential use is proposed compliance within the required density range, of such uses will be reviewed at the time of a future Project Development Plan. 3. The Cargill ODP conforms to the Master Street Plan requirements and the street pattern connectivity requirements pursuant to Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.3(A) through (F). The ODP identifies appropriate transportation connections and conforms to the Transportation Level of Service Requirements as contained in Section 3.6.4. 4. The Cargill ODP is in compliance with Section 3.6.3(F) and Section 3.2.2(C)(6) that require transportation connections to adjoining properties from neighboring properties for vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle movements. 5. The Cargill ODP does not include any natural areas, habitats and features within its boundaries and, therefore, no natural area buffer zones are required. 6. The Cargill ODP is consistent with the Foothills Master Drainage Basin Plan. 7. The Cargill ODP does not specifically include any residential uses and is therefore in compliance with the criterion that any standards relating to housing density and mix of uses will be applied over the entire Overall Development Plan and not on each individual Project Development Plan. If residential uses are proposed in the future, then the Cargill OPD would need to be amended to comply with this standard.
