Description/Background:
Mr. Charles Akerlow of Zenith Development has submitted an application for a preliminary site plan of a proposed phase of the East Town Village Mixed Use Project. The proposal is the last undeveloped part of the mixed-use master planned development that includes East Town Village, the Axio Apartments, and the Princeton Commons (office/retail building). This phase is to be built on approximately 5.13 acres of the site along 115 East and Durham Street consisting of 63 units (12.28 units/acre). These residences are proposed to be built as three (3) different unit types and architectural designs, and some will built by a joint development partner, Hortino, LP. Zenith is proposing to construct 48 townhome buildings (see Elevation Type A) and five (5) single-family pad lots. The remaining 10 townhome units are proposed to be built by Hortino, LP (see Elevation Type B). They are working collaboratively to build out the site improvements but each group will be responsible for the construction of their units. However, they are all proposed to be part of the same HOA to maintain the shared improvements and open spaces. They are not proposing to join the existing HOA of East Town Village, so these residents won’t be able to participate in those existing amenities. The proposal is consistent with the approved Master Plan for the property.
For additional information on this application, please see the attached staff report.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the preliminary site plan review is complete for the proposed Princeton Terrace Mixed Use Site Plan, located at approximately 8377 South 115 East, based upon the following conditions:
Conditions:
1. That the applicant complies with each department’s comments and redlines throughout the preliminary and final review process and that all issues be resolved before final site plan approval.
2. That all City provisions, codes and ordinances are adhered to during the review, construction and operations process of this building.
3. All utility boxes (i.e. transformers, switch gear, telephone, cable tv, etc.) shall be shown on the site plan and shall be placed underground or moved behind the front setback of the buildings and screened from view. Each box shall be shown in its exact location and shall be noted with its exact height, width and length. Building utility meters shall be mounted to the side or rear elevation or screened with a wing wall if fronting a public street.
4. That the developer be responsible for the placement of a temporary 6-foot-high chain link fence around the perimeter of the project during the construction phase of the project for security. Said fence shall also be required to include fabric to prohibit blowing dust problems if it becomes necessary or if it is required by the Community Development Department during Site Plan Review.
5. Shared access easement and development agreement with the East Town Village HOA will need to be obtained and agreed to prior to final staff approval.
6. Architectural design of the units needs to be further revised to fully address the Planning Commission and staff concerns listed in the staff report prior to Final Approval.
7. That only the architectural plans for all three (3) building types be required to be brought back to the Planning Commission before Final Approval.
8. (Optional) A six foot (6’) (or 8’) tall opaque fence shall be constructed along the Trax rail lines to provide a visual screen and sound attenuation to buffer future residents because the units are to be placed as close as ten feet (10’) to the Trax lines.
9. (Optional) Additional built amenities of playground equipment and a covered pavilion/picnic area shall be required to be incorporated into the open space of the development.
