BACKGROUND
The Staff Report states the following:
The request to replat the Harmony Village P.U.D. is in compliance with the plat
standards of Section 3.3.1 of the Land Use Code. There are no impacts on
surrounding property owners as a result of the creating one additional lot. The replat is
accompanied by two Minor Amendments so that the P.U.D. is kept up to date to reflect
the changes.
COMMENTS:
1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: H-C; Old Harmony Store and Miscellaneous Business Services
S: R-L; Existing Sine Family Residential (Harmony Crossing P.U.D.)
E: H-C; Poudre Valley Hospital, South Campus
W: H-C; Miscellaneous Wholesale and Industrial Uses
The 'property was annexed in 1989. In 1993, the parcel was included in the 74-acre
Harmony Crossing Overall Development Plan. Also in 1993, the Harmony Crossing
Final P.U.D. was approved which allowed 221 single family detached homes on 41
acres for a density of 5.4 dwelling units per acre. Harmony Village Preliminary P.U.D.
was approved in November of 1998 and the Final was approved in February of 1999.
2. Plat Standards:
The Replat has been reviewed against the criteria of the Plat Standards under Article
Three, Division Three of the Land Use Code. The request to divide the parcel into two
lots satisfies the following standards:
A. Section 3.3.1 (B) (1) - Lots
This criterion requires that lot sizes shall exceed the required minimum size specified in
the applicable zone district. The subject parcel is in the H-C, Harmony Corridor zone
district. Since there are no minimum lot sizes specified in this zone, the proposed lots
comply.
B. Section 3.3.1 (B) (2) - Lots
This criterion requires that the general layout of lots, roads, driveways, utilities, drainage
facilities and other services within the proposed development shall be designed in a
way that enhances an interconnected street system within and between neighborhoods,
preserves natual areas and features, and otherwise accomplishes the purposes and
intent of the Land Use Code.
The proposed subdivision satisfies this criterion. Each of the new lots have frontage on
a public or private street which connects the site to the existing general layout of roads
in the surrounding neighborhood and the city at -large.
C. Section 3.3.1 [C] (1) - Public Sites, Reservations and Dedications
This criterion requires that a subdivision dedicate rights -of -way for public streets,
drainage easements and utility easements as needed to serve the area being platted.
The proposed Replat satisfies this criterion by dedicating the necessary land needed for
public utilities and access. Additional street right-of-way is not needed.
