Home My WebLink AboutEAST RIDGE THIRD FILING REPLAT - BDR190011 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUESTAlternative Compliance – Section 3.2.3(C) – Solar-Oriented Residential Lots Minor Amendment of East Ridge Filing 3 07/This 03/narrative 2019 requests that the decision maker approve an alternative compliance request for the solar-oriented residential lot requirement – which the percentage of lots meeting the requirement would be 22.2% - with the overall development build out including filing 2 equaling 58%, 7% less than the required amount. Please see the text of Section 3.2.3(C) below: 3.2.3(C) Solar-Oriented Residential Lots At least sixty-five (65) percent of the lots less than fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet in area in single- and two-family residential developments must conform to the definition of a "solar-oriented lot" in order to preserve the potential for solar energy usage. Alternative Compliance. Upon request by an applicant, the decision maker may approve an alternative site layout that may be substituted in whole or in part for a plan meeting the standards of this Section. (1) Procedure. Alternative compliance plans shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with submittal requirements for plans as set forth in this Section. The plan shall clearly identify and discuss the modifications and alternatives proposed and the ways in which the plan will better accomplish the purpose of this Section than a plan which complies with the standards of this Section. (2) Review Criteria. In approving an alternative plan, the decision maker shall find that the proposed alternative plan accomplishes the purposes of this Section equally or better than a plan which complies with the standards of this Section. In reviewing the proposed alternative plan, the decision maker shall take into account whether the alternative design enhances neighborhood continuity and connectivity, fosters nonvehicular access, and preserves existing natural or topographic conditions on the site. Justification for alternative compliance The proposed plan is showing 45 solar oriented lots out of the 203 lots included in the plan - this equals 22% solar oriented lots, with an overall development providing 58% solar oriented lots, a 7% deficiency from the code requirement of 65%. The proposed plan accomplishes the purpose of this requirement equal to or better than a plan that complies with the standards of 3.2.3(C). The proposed plan accomplishes the purpose of this requirement in several ways: • The filing 3 plan provides community gathering spaces and encourages direct connections in the north/south direction to the proposed amenities, parks, pool, etc. • The filing 2 and filing 3 plans improve the walkability through well-connected Alternative Compliance – Section 3.2.3(C) – Solar-Oriented Residential Lots Minor Amendment of East Ridge Filing 3 07/03/2019 open space tracts both in the north/south direction, but also from the east/west direction towards the open space/park area as compared to the previously approved 2009 plan, providing more effective connections from proposed lots as well as future development tracts. • The filing 2 lot orientation, in particular the single family attached lots adjacent to the park space, reinforces and fosters non-vehicular connectivity to open space through open space tracts that were not included in the previously approved plan from 2009. • As requested by Fort Collins City Parks Planning during the preliminary development process the filing 2 plan reduces the publically fronted park area by 50% from the previously approved plan. • The filing 2 plan provides more housing with direct access to open space than the previously approved plan. This is accomplished by fronting single family attached and detached lots around the open space/park area. The proposed plan creates a neighborhood that enhances neighborhood continuity and connectivity through well connected open space tracts, fosters non-vehicular access through improved lot layout and orientation that improves connections to opens space and preserves existing or natural conditions on site by the extensive wetland and park area improvements. For all the reasons cited above, the Applicant requests an alternative compliance of the standard in LUC Section 3.2.3(C) to allow a reduced number of solar oriented residential lots. The Applicant proposes that the alternative compliance is not detrimental to the public good, and promotes the purposes of the standard equal to or better than a plan that complies with the solar oriented residential lot requirement.
