1 Planning Commission Application Summary Project Name: Deer Run Preserve Plat Amendment Address: 962 East Roundhouse Road Current Zoning: RM1 (with Development Agreement) Hearing Date: April 23, 2015 Background The request was heard by the Planning Commission on January 22, 2015 and was subsequently approved by the City Council. However, the request was taken through the process as a preliminary plat and needs now to be taken through as a Plat Amendment as the lots are part of the South Mountain Phases 1 and 2F Amended plat. Proper notice has been given for a plat amendment request and the application will follow proper noticing and procedure requirements for a plat amendment. No changes have been made to the project as part of this request. When the idea for the South Mountain development was originally conceived, this property was slated as a commercial or town center hub. After years of marketing and attempted development approvals, in July of 2014, a zoning map amendment was approved. This changed zoning on the subject property from A5 to RM1. The rezone request was accompanied by a development agreement which was approved along with the rezone request. General Plan and Zoning The property is zoned RM1 and has a recorded development agreement. Analysis The applicant is requesting approval of a plat amendment resulting in a 79 lot subdivision. The general layout of the development consists of the circular portion of the property and two arms that etend generally east and west adjacent to Highland Drive. The developer is proposing to break the plat into four phases which could be recorded independent of one another. The first phase is the row of homes adjacent to the eisting circle of townhomes with the second phase being the net row of homes in the circle including the park. Each arm of homes is also a phase. The development will be served by four eisting public roads: Town Center Drive (renamed Deer Preserve Lane), Molasses Mill Drive, Candy Pull Drive and Roundhouse Road. There is an eisting private road that serves as access to the eisting townhome s garages. This road will remain. A new private road (Deer Arch Lane) will service all lots in phases one and two. Finally, each arm will be accessed by its own private road (Deer Heights Court and Deer Vista Court). The smallest lots will be adjacent to the eisting townhomes. These lots will range in size from 4,111 ft² to 4,738 ft². The net sets of lots in the circle are proposed to be a little larger and range from 5,176 ft² to 5,595 ft². Finally, between the two arms, the lots range from 8,108 ft² to 16,431 ft². Deviations (If applicable) No deviations are being requested. Staff Recommendation Staff is recommending approval of the request with conditions (see staff report).

2 Development Review Committee 1020 East Pioneer Road Draper, UT (801) STAFF REPORT April 14, 2015 To: From: Draper City Planning Commission Business Date: April 23, 2015 Development Review Committee Prepared by: Dan Boles, AICP, Senior Planner Planning Division Community Development Department Re: Deer Run Preserve Plat Amendment Request Application No.: E-1 Applicant: Ryan Button, representing Draper Highland LLC Project Location: Approimately 962 East Roundhouse Rd. Zoning: RM1 Residential Zone Acreage: Approimately Acres (Approimately 725,666 ft 2 ) Request: Request for approval of a Plat Amendment amending portions of South Mountain phases 1 and 2F, in the RM1 Residential zone. Approval of this request would allow 79 new residential single family lots. SUMMARY The request was heard by the Planning Commission on January 22, 2015 and was subsequently approved by the City Council. However, the request was taken through the process as a preliminary plat and should have been taken through as a Plat Amendment as the lots are part of the South Mountain Phases 1 and 2F Amended plat. In an effort to correct this error, proper notice has been given for a plat amendment request and the application will follow proper noticing and procedure requirements for a plat amendment. This application is a request for approval of a Plat Amendment for approimately acres located on the south side of Highland Drive at approimately 962 East Roundhouse Rd. The property is currently zoned RM1 Residential and has an associated development agreement. The applicant is requesting that a Plat Amendment be approved in order to construct a 79 lot residential development on the site. Amenities will include a park and connecting trails. BACKGROUND When the idea for the South Mountain development was originally conceived, this property was slated as a commercial or town center hub. After years of marketing and attempted development approvals, in July of 2014, a zoning map amendment was approved. This changed zoning on the subject property from A5 to RM1. The rezone request was accompanied by a development agreement which was approved along with the rezone request. Deer Run Preserve Plat Amendment Request 1 App. # E-1

3 ANALYSIS General Plan and Zoning. The Land Use Map of the General Plan calls for the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation for the subject property. Additionally, the property has been assigned the RM1 Residential zoning classification though this category may be a little misleading due to a development agreement on the subject parcel which restricts the development to single family lots. It should be noted here that due to a nearby detention basin that the applicant is proposing to utilize, the requirement for onsite detention has been eliminated allowing the applicant to design two more lots into the design of the property. In order for this to occur, an amendment of the development agreement needed to be approved by the City Council. The applicant took that amendment to the City Council and the amendment was approved allowing for two more lots. Development Agreement Highlights. As previously stated, the zoning on the property is tied to a development agreement. In order to approve the proposed Plat Amendment, the terms of the development agreement must be satisfied. In short, the development agreement states: The project will be limited to single family homes. Homes on lots1-3 and will not eceed 27 feet in height. There will be no more than 77 lots (the amendment by the City Council will allow up to 79). Density will not eceed 5 homes per acre. Each lot will have a minimum area of 4,100 ft² and average lot size of 6,900 ft². The required setbacks. 50% of a home s front elevation shall be masonry (ie. stone or brick) with the balance being an aesthetic mi of concrete fiber board or stucco. Developer agrees to provide, via dedication, a public park and multiple trails for the use and enjoyment of all Draper City residents. Developer agrees to install park and trail infrastructure including landscaping, irrigation system, and play equipment. Construction of park must be started by the time 50% of building permits are issued and completed by the time 75% of all building permits are issued. Layout, Circulation and Phasing. The general layout of the development consists of the circular portion of the property and two arms that etend generally east and west adjacent to Highland Drive. The developer is proposing to break the Plat Amendment into four phases which could be recorded independent of one another. The first phase is the row of homes adjacent to the eisting circle of townhomes with the second phase being the net row of homes in the circle including the park. Each arm of homes is also a phase. The development will be served by four eisting public roads: Town Center Drive (renamed Deer Preserve Lane), Molasses Mill Drive, Candy Pull Drive and Roundhouse Road. There is an eisting Deer Run Preserve Plat Amendment Request 2 App. # E-1

4 private road that serves as access to the eisting townhome s garages. This road will remain. A new private road (Deer Arch Lane) will service all lots in phases one and two. Finally, each arm will be accessed by its own private road (Deer Heights Court and Deer Vista Court). Town Center Drive which connects the potential development to Highland Drive comes terminates in to Candy Pull and Molasses Mill Drives. As part of the requirements for this development, a change in that intersection would need to occur. After a traffic study was conducted, it was determined that the intersection needed to be straightened to create a more standard Tee intersection (see Engineering Department review). The attached plats have been revised to reflect that requirement. The smallest lots will be adjacent to the eisting townhomes. These lots will range in size from 4,111 ft² to 4,738 ft². The net sets of lots in the circle are proposed to be a little larger and range from 5,176 ft² to 5,595 ft². Finally, between the two arms, the lots range from 8,108 ft² to 16,431 ft². Required Park and Trails. Included in the development agreement was a requirement for a park (see attached plan). The park will be just over an acre and will include such amenities as a grassy play area, playground with equipment, benches and picnic tables. Additionally, the developer will provide trails from each arm and through the homes in the circle to an eisting trail in the center of the eisting townhomes giving connectivity from the project to Highland Drive and South Mountain. The park, per the development agreement, will be dedicated to the City. The maintenance of fencing, snow removal and landscaping will be maintained by the Deer Run Preserve HOA while the City will maintain park equipment and trails. Architecture. The development agreement required the following: All front elevations shall be a minimum of 50% masonry, (ie. stone and/or brick) with the balance being an aesthetic mi of concrete fiber board, stucco, and may also include other architectural character elements such as porches, window trims, cornices, timber elements, masonry and /or other detailing elements and materials. Other elevations may consist of brick, stone, stucco and/or concrete fiber board. Staff to verify compliance at time of each building permit. As stated in the preceding ehibit, staff will verify that each home is in compliance with these standards as part of the building permit review. Lighting. The developer will have street lights interspersed throughout the subdivision. They are proposing a 14 foot pole with a gooseneck style fiture. Approimately 14 street lights are proposed throughout the subdivision. Street Trees. A landscape plan showing the landscaping for the park, trails and street trees has been submitted with the application. The plan shows smaller trees (Canada Red Chokecherry) lining the innercircle street. The two arms are lined with Skyline Honeylocust trees and the entry way leading off of Highland Drive is lined with London Planes. Spring Snow Crabapples will line Candy Pull and Molasses Mill Drive. Zelkovas, Cherry, Spruce, and Maple trees will be placed in the park and throughout the remaining property to be landscaped. See attached landscape plan. Fencing. The development will utilize both vinyl fencing, Rhino Rock and wrought iron fencing throughout the site. Fencing between the eisting townhomes and the proposed development will be a si foot tall vinyl fence. Rhino Rock fencing will separate the new homes and the park as well as separate Molasses Mill and Candy Pull Drives from the lots on the north of those streets.
