NUMBER: 65=93 mmmmmmmmmmmm ILLAGE PUD North Harmony Village PUD - Overall Development Plan, #65-93 November 15, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 6 approximately 40 single family home owners, numerous owners of large properties, commercial and business owners, and appropriate Homeowners Associations. Questions and comments centered around the type of homes and the design of the residential portion of the O.D.P. Copies of the meeting minutes and the attendance sheet are attached to this memo. 4. Transportation: Primary access points are being proposed from Timberline Road into the Community/Regional Shopping Center portion (Parcel A) and into the single family residential portion (Parcel E). These two primary access points will be the only full service accesses allowed to the property within the 1/2 mile immediately south of East Harmony Road. The design configuration of the street from Timberline Road to the south line of the commercial components of the O.D.P., between Parcels A and B, will be in the form of a collector street. There will be local "collector" streets serving Parcels D and E as necessary based on the layout of the lots and building locations identified on specific development plans. RECOMMENDATION: This request is in conformance with the City's adopted plans and policies, including the recently adopted HARMONY CORRIDOR PLAN and Design Standards and Guidelines and the NEIGHBORHOOD CONVENIENCE and Location; therefore, staff recommends approval of the Harmony Village Overall Development Plan - #65-93. Harmony Village PUD - Overall Development Plan, #65-93 November 15, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 5 within 1/2 mile of the approved Rock Creek O.D.P. (134 acre residential community) on the east side of Timberline Road. The entire Harmony Village O.D.P. is in the adopted HARMONY CORRIDOR PLAN boundary and is, therefore, subject to all the rules and regulations of the plan. The GOAL STATEMENT of the plan is to encourage and support mixed land use development in the Harmony Corridor while discouraging "strip commercial" development and promoting the vitality and liveability of existing residential neighborhoods. This proposal is supported by the following policies: LU-3 Provide for the advance planning of large, undeveloped properties in the corridor area. The Harmony Village O.D.P. is on a 74.4 acre undeveloped property that fronts on East Harmony Road and extends approximately 1/2 mile south along Timberline Road. The entire property is in the Harmony Corridor Plan boundary. The O.D.P. plans for community/regional and neighborhood convenience shopping and a mix of residential densities and types of housing. LU-4 Locate retail and commercial development in compact shopping centers. The O.D.P. plans for approximately 26.5 acres to be developed into community/regional and neighborhood convenience shopping, adjacent to each other, located at the intersection of two arterial streets and accessed by a common collector street. LU-5 Focus the location of high intensity land uses... retail, service, automotive, etc. at major street intersections and decrease intensity as the distance from the major intersections increases. The O.D.P. plans for approximately 26.5 acres to be developed into community/regional and neighborhood convenience shopping, adjacent to each other, located at the intersection of two arterial streets and accessed by a common collector street. The plan indicates a transition from commercial to higher density multi -family residential to lower density single family residential as the distance increases from the intersection of East Harmony Road and Timberline Road. There is a statement on the O.D.P. that says "This O.D.P. is subject to all rules and regulations as set forth in the HARMONY CORRIDOR PLAN and the HARMONY CORRIDOR Design Standards and Guidelines". 3. Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood information meeting was held on September 16, 1993. The affected property owners notification list included Harmony Village PUD - Overall Development Plan, #65-93 November 15, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 4 school under construction to the east. It is adjacent to the planned community/regional shopping center that is part of this O.D.P. Since the adoption of the LUPP and the implementation of the Land Development Guidance System the City has attempted to define a hierarchy of commercial uses in the city. This hierarchy is divided into the following major classifications: - Regional/Community Shopping Centers - Neighborhood Service Centers - Business Service Uses - Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial The LUPP is clear on the preferred locations of other kinds of commercial uses in the community but there is no clear policy direction as to the location of Neighborhood Convenience Centers. City Council adopted the NEIGHBORHOOD CONVENIENCE SHOPPING CENTER Policies Guidelines and Requirements for Design and Location on September 20, 1988. This proposal is supported by the following site location policies: * Neighborhood Convenience Centers shall be encouraged to locate where existing services and infrastructure are available (water, sewer, streets, police, fire, transit, etc.) Existing infrastructure and services are available on the periphery of this property at the present time. The residential portions of this O.D.P. are planned to develop prior to the neighborhood convenience center, which would further create provisions for infrastructure and services. * Neighborhood Convenience Centers shall be encouraged to locate at the intersection of an arterial street and a neighborhood collector street, with primary access taken off the collector. The planned neighborhood convenience center is to be located at the intersection of Timberline Road (an existing arterial street) and a proposed collector street in the development. * Neighborhood Convenience Centers shall be encouraged to develop on sites with a minimum gross area of three acres. The proposed neighborhood convenience center parcel on the O.D.P. is 3.7 acres in size. * Neighborhood Convenience Centers shall be developed within easy walking distance of existing or planned residential areas. A neighborhood convenience center is a planned component of this development and is located adjacent to the residential portions of this O.D.P. The proposed center is Harmony Village PUD - Overall Development Plan, #65-93 November 15, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 3 #69. Regional/community shopping centers should locate in areas which are easily accessible to existing or planned residential areas. A planned community/regional shopping center is located adjacent to the proposed higher density residential portion of the O.D.P. #74. Transitional land uses or areas (linear greenbelts or other urban design elements) should be provided between residential neighborhoods and commercial areas in order to enhance the concept of a mixture of land uses. A detention pond area and adequate landscaped setback areas will be provided between the single family or multi -family parcels and the community/regional shopping center parcel or the neighborhood convenience center parcel. #75. Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities. The O.D.P. is providing for single family detached residential at 6 dwelling units per acre and multi -family residential at 6 to 12 dwelling units per acre. #79. Low density residential uses should locate in areas: a. Which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and regional/community shopping centers; b. Which have easy access to major employment centers; C. In which a collector street affords the primary access. The single family residential will be directly adjacent to the neighborhood convenience center and within easy walking distance of the community/regional shopping center, which will provide opportunities for employment in the form of a major center. A local "collector" street system will be internal to the development and serve as the primary access to the majority of the homes. #80. Higher density residential uses should locate: a. Within close proximity to community or neighborhood park facilities; b. Within easy access to major employment centers. The proposed multi -family residential will be located within approximately 1/2 mile of a new City neighborhood park that will be developed in conjunction with the new junior high Harmony Village PUD - Overall Development Plan, #65-93 November 15, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1.
