Next on the agenda, we have three zoning cases this evening.

The first one is PD 14 17, addressed at 2002 wind terrace.

This is application for approval of a planned development for residential and medium density, RM12 for a cottage community with a development plan on approximately 2.035 acres.

This time I'll call on staff to present its report on zoning case PD 14-17.

Good evening, Commissioners for the record.

Principal plan Kevin Charles, Principal Planner, Planning and Development Services.

This afternoon, we're looking at PD 25-17 wind terrace.

This is a request for a cottage community.

The site is approximately two point, the site is approximately two acres in size, addressed at 2002 wind terrace.

The current zoning of the property is residential single family 7.2.

And the request is plan development for residential medium density RM12 for cottage community use with a development plan.

So this is an aerial photograph of the site in its current configuration, highlighted in yellow.

As you can see, all of the properties to the north, the west, and the south are all zone RS 7.2 and fully developed.

The property to the east is uh PD for RMF 22.

Uh the site is developed uh in a similar manner as Cottage Communities.

However, when this particular site went through our zoning process, uh we did not have our cottage community standards in place.

Therefore, it was processed under a PD for RM22, uh, which is uh multi multifamily zoning.

These are aerial photographs of the site uh which show a general uh transition from its original configuration to where it is now.

Uh the general area of the subject property was largely undeveloped until single family homes were constructed in the early 1950s to the north of the site.

By 1964, uh many new homes were built south of the site.

The church to the west was built in in the 1980s.

In 2022, as I mentioned before, PD 22-16 was approved for RMF 22 development for 12 cottage style units.

The aerial images provide an overview of how the area evolved from the 1950s to the present.

Since we have had our ordinance in place.

Starting in the upper left-hand corner and moving clockwise.

Also, to access the property in the rear in the rear to access 2002.

There you can see the car ports and the front of some of the units.

And then the final photograph there is the rear of the existing church that's located directly west of the subject site.

So here we see the subject site layout.

As you can see, the site has no public street frontage and will be accessed through an access easement.

The development proposes 13 one and two bedroom cottages.

The cottages shall range in size from 758 square foot one-bedroom unit to a two-bedroom unit that is approximately 1,500 square feet of floor area.

The UDC requires that cottage community developments with individually platted lots provide a minimum lot size of 2250 square feet.

The applicant is proposing eight lots of 2250 square feet, two lots of 2,000 square feet, and three lots of 2400 square feet.

The lots of 2,000 square feet represent a deviation from the requirements of the UDC and are called out.

Parking and landscaping.
