The motion to approve passed 6-0. 0 Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes May 24, 1993 Page 6 Chairman Walker commented that both sides of this issue could be argued. He stated that when a PUD is being developed, some sort of continuity should be attempted to promote integrated commercial development. He believed that architectural character could still be achieved with a brown roof as with a terra cotta color roof. Member Cottier commented that the tile roof fits the style of the building but would prefer to see a brown roof rather than a red roof. She believed that the Wal-Mart design was not very attractive and having different design and colors of roofs might improve the appearance of this area overall. Member Carroll believed that this proposal would be compatible with the Wal-Mart Center and commented that he would like to see more of a brown roof rather than red. Member Carroll moved for approval only with the standard development agreement condition. Member Cottier seconded the motion with the amendment that a condition be placed that the roof tile be more of a brown color. Member Carroll withdrew his motion because he could not accept the amendment to the motion. Member Cottier moved for approval with the condition that the tile roof be a darker shade of brown more closely approximating the brown of the Wal-Mart building and the standard development agreement condition. Member O'Dell seconded the motion. The motion to approve passed 6-0. PARAGON POINT AMENDED OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - #48-91H PARAGON POINT PUD, 4TH FILING. PRELIMINARY - #48-91G Ted Shepard, Senior City Planner, gave Staff reports on the proposed projects. He recommended approval with conditions on the 4th Filing. Jim Sell, Jim Sell Designs, briefly discussed the history of the site, the density of the ODP and the 4th filing, the undevelopable floodplain and open space, the smaller size of the lots, the diversity of the architectural style of the 4th filing, and single family versus patio homes. There was no public input. r Member Strom asked for clarification of the meaning of 79 units. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes May 24, 1993 Page 7 Mr. Shepard replied that when this project was submitted as a preliminary for the 4th filing, it contained 72 single family lots. When it was brought back later for staff review, it was reduced to 66 lots. Member Clements -Cooney asked if there was a definition of patio homes. Mr. Shepard stated that a standard single family home has a front yard, back yard, and two side yards with maintenance performed by the individual homeowner. A patio home is typically smaller lots, sometimes a zero side lot line, a reduced back yard and front yard with a heavy emphasis on homeowner maintenance sometimes up to the foundation front building line. He added that when this project was submitted, the Planning Staff was under the impression that this was a typical single family home product. Chairman Walker asked for Staff's interpretation of calculated density. Mr. Shepard stated that, typically, calculations that are removed are: 1) streets because they are dedicated to the city as right-of-way; 2) drainage areas because they are non -build areas; 3) dedication is requested for the 100-year floodplain which is dedicated to the Stormwater Utility; 4) the conservation easement because it is a non -build area; 5) the right-of-way along Lemay, that in the case of a PUD, landscaping has been added adjacent to the right-of-way for streetscaping, and; 6) private parks. Chairman Walker commented that residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities, which is stated in the City's Land Use Policies Plan. He believed that market forces are not the only consideration. He had concerns that, by going to an entirely single family product on this site, the Land Use Policies Plan is not being met in the mix of housing densities and types. Member Cottier commented that it is becoming more and more of an issue when densities keep falling after a master plan is submitted. She believed that the calculations for computing densities need to be improved. Member O'Dell commented that this particular single family area achieves 55% on the Density Chart, which allows 5.5 DU/acre. She believed that this would not promote higher density developments that are beginning to development. Member Clements -Cooney commented that the original ODP represented mixed -use, mix of housing types, and a mix of housing densities. She had a concern that the ODP has been updated as early as January 1993. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes May 24, 1993 Page 8 Member Cottier commented that the City does not have the rules in place to back up the demands of the City and that there is no clear direction. Member Strom commented that the downscaling of ODPs has been an issue. He had concerns about reducing densities and relegating this site to a single family project based on short-term market financial considerations. Member Carroll commented that there was a potential with this area that was previously termed commercial of three acres maintaining some of the density in multi -family. He had concerns with the approval of designating the ODP as commercial and the variances that have been requested. Member Clements -Cooney moved to deny Paragon Point Amended Overall Development Plan based on Land Use Policy #12, the encouragement of three or more dwelling units to the acre, and Land Use Policy #75, residential areas should provide to a mix of housing densities. Member Strom seconded the motion. The motion for denial carried 5-1 with Member Cottier in the negative. Member Strom moved to deny Paragon Point PUD, 4th Filing Preliminary based on the fact that it does not concur with Paragon Point ODP. Member Clements -Cooney seconded the motion. The motion to deny passed 6-0. POUDRE R-1 FACILITIES MASTER PLAN - #24-93 Ken Waido, Chief Planner, gave the Staff report recommending adoption of the document as an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan and to recommend adoption of the plan by City Council. There was no public input. Member Carroll moved to adopt the Poudre R-1 Facilities Master Plan as an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan and recommend adoption to City Council. Member O'Dell seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0. AMENDMENT TO THE EASTSIDE AND WESTSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS FOR THE MOUNTAIN AVENUE AND REMINGTON STREET BIKEWAY PROTECT - #31-93 Rita Davis, City of Fort Collins Transportation Department, gave the staff report on the proposed project.
