MIRAMONT VILLAGE
Preliminary PUD
Statement of Planning Objectives
December 21, 1995
Miramont Village is one of a number of planned neighborhood housing areas consistent
with the approved the Oak/Cottonwood ODP; a mixed use development evolving as a planned
community comprising the following general planning areas:
The Harmony Market Commercial Area
Made up of ODP parcels R and S, this area provides community -regional
shopping opportunities, auto related commercial, and business services, being
developed in accordance with the design guidelines found in the Harmony
Corridor Plan.
The Fairway Estates Buffer Area
This area - which includes ODP parcels T, U, and V - restricts land uses
according to the provisions of a deed restriction negotiated with the adjacent
neighborhood.
The Mixed Use Transitional Area
ODP Parcels N, P, and Q form an area appropriate for multi -family,
office/business services, and neighborhood scale recreational uses as a
transition between the planned low density neighborhoods to the south and
west, and the more intense uses in Harmony Market, OakRidge West, and
OakRidge Business Park.
The Miramont Residential Area
This area - including ODP parcels A through L - is designed as a coordinated
series of neighborhoods comprising a wide range of housing types. Multi-
family, patio homes, conventional (2 to 4 d.u./aa. t) single family lots, and
larger estate lots are planned to help create a successful, diverse, high quality
community. To the extent practical, each neighborhood cluster is planned to
have its own. identity features and local circulation system, with open space
corridors and the main collector/connector street system forming the primary
unifying design elements in the overall community.
It is the continuing intent of the developers working at Miramont to provide
neighborhoods that reflect an appropriate plan for each parcel.. The proposed patio homes at
Miramont Village are intended to provide another element in the wide range of housing
opportunities planned with ODP. The site is designed with sensitivity to the topography,
mountain views, visibility from the adjacent neighborhoods, and the adjacent arterial. roadway.
The streetscapes along Highcastle Drive, Lemay Avenue, and Southridge Greens
Boulevard are being landscaped with the quality and type of landscape improvements that
have been previously established at the Upper Meadow and Castle Ridge.
