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.
