Care will be taken to design the homes to be the most dominate feature of the streetscape. the location of driveways and the placement of garages will be carefully considered in each design to minimize the impact of these elements. NEW LOW DENSITY MIRED -USE PRINCIPLE LMN-1 Average Density of Five units per acre. This will be the goal achieved within the design, an average density considering the various housing types of five units per acre. PRINCIPLE LMN-2 Neighborhood conducive to walking and anchored with a Neighborhood Center. The property meets the physical size definition of a neighborhood. The position of the Neighborhood Center will be located adjacent to the north -south arterial because it will serve as a gathering place for the residents to connect to the public transit system. At this location the Center will encourage its use by the existing neighborhood to the west by alternative means rather than by auto. The neighborhood will provide for services to the public and the neighborhood that are currently not present in the area and may include the majority of the uses outlined for inclusion in such Centers by City Plan. Access by pedestrians and by bicyclist will be the priority of the development when considering the connections to the Neighborhood Center. PRINCIPLE GM-4 Investment in capital facilities and services. As stated previously the site is surrounded with the infrastructure needed to properly develop to urban level od standard services. The investment in these utilities has been by the districts and companies designated to provide service to these areas through their agreements with the City. This is coupled with the major expense of the City to construct the Timberline Road Extension. The north termination of this construction is the south boundary of this property. With this in mind it is logical that the City extend annexation to this property with the intention of taking advantage of the capital invested by the City and other quasi -governmental organizations. This would be accomplished be providing the opportunity to develop the property in accordance to the Land Use Code. PRINCIPLE GM-5 Adequate Public Facilities. The property currently can be served by critical public service such as water, sewer, natural gas, transportation, and fire protection. These services are currently to the site and the fire station is within a half mile of the property. ALL NEW NEIGHBORHOODS PRINCIPLE AN-1 Integral part of Broader Community. The intention of the concept for this property is to provide a low density mixed use land development that conforms to the guidelines set up by City Plan. The neighborhood is intended to be anchored by a Neighborhood Commercial Center that will serve this property and the existing residential uses to the west of the property. The internal street system will be simple and interconnecting. Multi - modal use of paths will link this neighborhood internally and with the existing City transportation network. The structure of the streets though simple in pattern will emphasize pedestrian and alternative means of transit as having precedence over individual autos. PRINCIPLE AN-2 Wide range of Open Spaces. The plan will generate areas that are intended for public and private recreation. Public spaces such as plazas and walkways will be feature spaces and used to generate the projects design. PRINCIPLE AN-4 Residential Design Policy. A variety of housing types are intended for this property. The combination of mulit-family options will be available and will intend to obtain the character and amenities of single family development. Buildings will have similar character and have individual identity through detailing within a particular multi- family area. The size of single family lots will vary to add interest due to the varying size of homes that they will be able to accommodate. The housing types will vary in model style and shape providing a variety to the Streetscape. J HOUSING PRINCIPLE HSG-1 Housing Variety. The design of the area will include single family homes, townhomes, condominiums and apartments. All of the major housing types will be addressed by the development. This in conjunction with a variety of densities will create the variation of the housing desired by the Comprehensive Plan. ENVIRONMENT PRINCIPLE ENV-1 Improvement of Air Quality. The location of this property is closer in proximity to existing employment centers of the City and the County than the majority of the current development that is occurring in the South end of the City. With the completion of the Timberline Extension, that will be completed prior to development of this project, essential services and employment will be even more adjacent to this property. These factors will help reduce the total vehicle -miles traveled by City residents. The industrial uses and commercial land uses will be oriented to be low emission type uses. All homes will be constructed with high efficient mechanical systems that will produce lower emissions than homes constructed prior to 1996. All fireplaces used in the development will be natural gas type units reducing the emissions from this amenity. PRINCIPLE ENV-2 Pollution Prevention. The commercial areas of the project will provide storm drainage facilities that will filter pollutants from vehicles and parking areas prior to the water being discharged into the natural water courses. PRINCIPLE ENV-4 Energy Efficiency. The plans developed will encourage the use of passive and active solar design principles through the design and alignment of the lots within the development. The impact of solar shading by commercial buildings and large residential multi -family buildings will be studied to minimize the impact of structures on public spaces and gathering nodes. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLE GM-2 Annexation. The property meets the goals and policies of this section of the City Plan by meeting the statutory requirements of the state for annexation into the City. The property is currently within the boundaries of the Community Growth Management Area. The major utilities needed for development are currently in place such as domestic water, sanitary service, and natural gas service. Soon be completed will be the Arterial connection to the site to the existing arterial street system. with the density envisioned for the property. PRINCIPLE T-4 Bicycle viability. Bicycle routes will be designed as a part of the project to be as convenient or more so than the internal street program for the project. These routes will take into consideration the destinations for alternative modes on the site as well as the connection through adjacent properties to other major destinations. PRINCIPLE T-5 Pedestrian travel elevated to importance. The property intended uses as multi -use will encourage pedestrian transportation with emphasis on direct pedestrian routes. This will pertain to the mixed use destinations foreseen for the property and for destinations assumed to be planned for adjacent properties. PRINCIPLE T-6 Street Crossings. The street crossing provided with the development will include wide and highlighted crossing for pedestrians and bicycles. Stop bar striping will be used to define the separation of pedestrians and vehicles. And proper ramps provided for smooth transition of pedestrians and bikes across the streets. Where traffic control lights will be needed gracious space should be provided at the intersection for waiting for the cycling of the signal. PRINCIPLE T-7 Pedestrian facilities. The pedestrian street scape for the project will provide seating areas in strategic locations, at destination points, and at transit staging areas. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE AND DESIGN PRINCIPLE CAD-1 Street system. The project will conform to the current street design standards for the City. This will include vehicle, bike and pedestrian transportation standards. The standards for street trees, street lighting and street furnishings will be designed to provide a human urban scale. The street system will be designed to provide simple connecting patterns and multiple routing from major destinations. PRINCIPLE CAD-3 Commercial Development with powerful impression. The design of commercial uses will reflect a local character and not portray a Corporate Character of the site users. The commercial uses will also blend in scale, color, and materials with residential uses intended for the property. PRINCIPLE CAD-4 Security and Crime Prevention. The project will take precautions to prevent areas that are difficult to access and that are hidden from view from public areas. Lighting levels will be to the lighting standards set by the Land Use Code and will be uniform to prevent the creation of hidden areas caused by lighting.
