Housing Plan <br />August 23.2001 <br />Page 2 <br />How Do We Stack Up? <br />The 62*unit Dunbar senior housing project at approxiniately IS units per acre leaves us needing to <br />identify another 4-S acres where the City would allow density of at least 10 units per acre. <br />Under the current zoning code, the only properties eligible to get this high a density would be <br />Commercial sites that Council would agree to convert to apartment-type use via the RPUD <br />ordinance. Potential sites along Highway 12 currently guided for Commercial use might be <br />considered in a way similar to the Dunbar senior housing project. <br />Our 2000-2020 CMP may accununodate tliese higlier density uses in U>e Highway 12 conidor, <br />specifically along the north side of Kelley Parkway (mix of multi- and single family at “3-6 units per <br />acre”) and the Dumas/James sites SW of 12 and Old Crystal Bay Road (mix of multi- and single <br />family at “2-4 units per acre”)- The key to this is whether Council would allow deirsities of a portion <br />of either area to be in the 6-10 units/acre range if the remainder was at a low er density. <br />Two Highway 12 Areas Guided fo r Higher Density. <br />a. The Dumas/James properties contain a total of about 49 dry buildable acres, w ith only <br />minimal wetland areas, allowing for a wide variety of possible development layouts. The CMP <br />suggests a mix of SF and MF uses at 2-4 units per acre, and specifically lists various residential <br />development options ranging up to 3 units per acre. In order to meet the aflordability standards, a <br />minor portion of this site might be developed at 6-10 units per acre, with the remainder developing <br />at lower densities as a balance. Various ways to do this might include: <br />Scenarios A-D: 2.5 Uni(s/Ac.
