Submitted as part of our application is the following

Requested Modifications
1. Increase Residential Density
Approved Residential Density in Urban Estate — 2.0 Units per acre
Actual Density approved for Sunrise Ridge, Second Filing — 1.39
Proposed Residential Density in Modification — 2.78 Units per acre
Rationale — Sunrise Ridge, First Filing has been fully built out with duplexes after a
modification was approved and recorded Nov 2012 with similar unit density.
The stated purpose of the Urban Estate Zone in the City's Land Use Code is "(A)
Purpose. The urban Estate District is intended to be a setting for a predominance of
low density and large -lot housing. The main purposes of this district are to
acknowledge the presence of the many exiting subdivisions which have developed in
these uses that function as parts of the community and to provide additional locations
for similar developments, typically in the transitional location between urban
development and rural open lands. "
In considering the "Urban" density of immediately adjacent subdivisions Observatory
Village and Morning Side as well as more recently approved Sunrise Ridge, First
Filing, we believe a modification to SRR, second filing to allow for up to 2.76 units
per acre would still comply with the intended purpose of U-E as stated above.
Other Density Concerns — Grading and Building Envelope
Overall site grading and building envelopes are in general conformance to the original
site plan as duplexes still comply to the approved plan not to exceed areas of 2500
home sift per unit, 500 sgft of garage per unit and driveway/parking not exceeding
10% of lot square footage.
Conclusion — After careful consideration of all the design parameters of U-E, it is our
conclusion that the requested density modification DOES NOT compromise the -
