REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 23 November 2015 ITEM NO: 8 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: Name Jeremy Barnhart JML Planning Department Report Title Community Development Director _____________________________________________________________________________________ Item Description: #15-3783, John T. Bessessen/ David Delany, 2465 Shadywood Road and 2500 Kelly Avenue, Sketch Plan _____________________________________________________________________________________ List of Exhibits Revised plan Applicants Narrative City Council packet dated October 12, 2015 Purpose. The applicant seeks Council input on a proposed 22 unit, single family neighborhood at 2465 Shadywood Rd and 2500 Kelly Avenue, totaling 4.3 buildable acres. The proposed development would require a rezoning and a comprehensive plan amendment, in additional to the subdivision process. Background. This revision is the latest attempt by the developer to present a plan acceptable to the Council. In October, the applicant presented a plan for 24 units on the parcels. The Council last reviewed a plan on October 12th. The packet from this meeting is attached. The land use guidance for the property: Kelly Ave. Shadywood Comprehensive Plan 2-3 u/ acre 4-15 u/ acre Zoning Ordinance 1 u/ acre Commercial Proposed 3.3 u/ acre 9 u/ acre Over all, the 22 units on 4.33 dry buildable acres yields 5.11 units per acre. However, for the Kelly Ave parcel, the proposed plan shows density higher than prescribed by the Comprehensive Plan, by the zoning ordinance, and higher than suggested by the City Council at their meeting on October 12th, minutes attached. Because the Comprehensive Plan informs the regulations outlined in a zoning ordinance, some modification should occur. The revisions include a reduction in the total number of lots, and an enlargement of the lot widths for the larger classes of lots, which are summarized in the following table. The applicants also propose the addition of common space including a space to house the preservation of a small barn.
