REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION:
The Preliminary Project Plan process (P4) provides the opportunity for the planning commission to give informal and non-binding input and feedback on a development concept during a study session. Staff will provide a general overview of P4s to the commission, and applicants are allowed to be in the audience, but do not present their concept.
Redland submitted this P4 application for a development concept for the 8.8-acre property bound to the south by W Powers Ave, to the west by S Delaware St, and to the east by S Bannock St. The proposed development includes a rezoning of the subject property from I-P to PD-R to establish a single-family housing development.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, along with Richmond American Homes, met with city staff for a pre-application meeting on April 26, 2018 to discuss the proposed project. Following that meeting, the applicant selected to submit a P4 application to obtain input on their proposal from planning commission and city council.
The property is currently zoned I-P Industrial Park, with a portion of the property within a planned development overlay that was approved in June 2017 to permit a self-storage/mini-warehousing use. The property owner abandoned the SDP for the proposed mini-warehousing use in mid-2018.
P4 CONCEPT:
The “Delaware and Powers Development” P4 is a single-family housing concept that utilizes Richmond American Homes’ “CityScape” housing product. The proposed PD-R district would establish a maximum height of 43’ to accommodate the fourth story stairway to the rooftop decks. The concept design includes a private street that intersects with S Bannock St and W Powers Ave that provides access to alleyways for vehicular access to the dwellings. A third entrance to the property is located on S Delaware directly onto an alley. The development concept includes common open space areas to provide for the majority of the required unobstructed open space, create an amenity for the residents, and provide for separations from adjacent uses and rights-of-way. The property is approximately 8.8 acres in size and as proposed, would contain 11.25 dwelling units per acre.
Please refer to the applicant’s narrative of the Delaware and Powers Development P4 concept, which is attached to this staff communication.
