CHAPARRAL P.U.D.
SUMMARY OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
87-08-250
Chaparral P.U.D. is a 55 unit residential development consisting
of 10 acres and located southwest of the intersection of South
Shields Street and Casa Grande Boulevard. The nature of the units
are single family detached. The project is currently abutted on
the west, north and east by existing residential development.
Fully developed streets and. utilities also exist on all sides of
the project.
This area was approved for residential development with the
approval of the Wagon Wheel P.U.D. master plan in the early 1980s.
Subsequently, in 1.985, this area was included in the approved
preliminary site plan for Casa Grande P.U.D., and approved for 66
condominium units (6.6 du/ac). The current proposal requests
development for densities of 5.5 du/ac. This density will blend
densities from the ±7 du/ac on the southwest, to the +4 du/ac on
the north.
A drainage detention facility intended to serve the southerly
portion of the Wagon Wheel area, including the Casa Grande and
Chaparral properties, has been master planned to be located on
this property, being the last portion of the Wagon Wheel master
plan to be developed. Our lay -out locates this detention area at
the east end of the project, adjacent to Shields, and utilizes it
as an open space buffer area between the arterial and the
development. This Open Space will be owned and maintained by t_he
homeowners within Chaparral P.U.D.
Along with standard front and rear setbacks, this project will
utilize a variable side setback system. This system maintains the
minimum required separation between buildings, but accomplishes
this separation based on the adjacent structure location more so
than the.common property line. This allows the builder more
flexibility in the mix of units.
A prominent natural feature located within this project is a stand
of large, established trees adjacent to Casa Grande Boulevard. It
should be noted that the layout proposed preserves most of these
trees.
