Body
Description/Background:
The applicant, David Kelley of DR Horton (representing the surrounding property owners Interim Capital, LLC; Wasatch Residential Group (Arcadia Apartments); Whitworth Ventures, LLC (Axio Automotive); and Shelter the Homeless, Inc (MVP Transitional Housing Facility)), is requesting approval of an updated mixed use master plan from the Planning Commission for approximately 17.75 acres of property located at the northwest corner of 9000 South Street and Monroe Street. This request affects several properties located at approximately 8925 South Harrison Street (see the vicinity map for a visual description of the affected properties). The master plan review is a requirement of the mixed use development standards which have been applied to these properties through the approved conditional use and because the area is included as part of the North Study Area in the Cairns Master Plan. The Planning Commission is requested to determine whether the proposed plan is appropriate and consistent with the intent of the mixed use development standards and whether the design objectives of the Cairns Master Plan area have been adequately addressed. Please see applicant’s proposed update to the previously approved master plan in the enclosed Exhibit A.
See the attached staff report and exhibits for full details of this request.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the updated 90th South Mixed Use Master Plan as described in the staff report and exhibits for the property located at approximately 8925 S. Harrison St. based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. The subject property is part of the Cairns Master Plan area, identified as the North Village.
2. The updated master plan contains a mutually supportive mix of four land development typologies, including a variety of housing options, transitional housing (with support services) and commercial uses that would support retail sales, services, and restaurants arranged in a horizontal manner.
3. The housing options provided would address a range of family sizes, stages of life, and incomes.
4. The development contains enough intensity to support future transit options in the area.
5. The uses are arranged in a cohesive manner that is walkable and inviting to pedestrians with limited interruptions. The buildings are proposed to be oriented to the street in a manner that creates an inviting streetscape to encourage pedestrian activity. The plan illustrates cross access, protected street crossings, pedestrian pathways, public trails and inviting open spaces/plazas.
6. The project area is large, contains enough area to buffer and protect the surrounding areas and is harmoniously integrated into the neighborhood.
Conditions:
1. That all City provisions, codes and ordinances are adhered to during the review, construction and operations process of this project.
2. That gateway elements be included at the southeast and southwest corners of this project that implement the Mountain Meets Urban theme through a grand sense of entry to Sandy City and the Cairns District and that this be done through iconic architectural elements on a building and/or through an iconic landscape and structural feature.
3. That a minimum 10% open space be designed into all phases of development associated with this master plan and that there be at least one common (available to the public) open space that is a contiguous 6,000 square feet and is central to the commercial development. All calculated open spaces shall be outside any public right-of-way. Hardscape and/or softscape open spaces may count toward this requirement.
4. That the Mountain Meets Urban theme be implemented in the landscape and architecture through all phases of development within this project area consistent with the requirements of the Cairns Design Standards.
